one of the inserts looks to be a page from Cheryl's 'A World is a Town' boekie. the paper is coated with wax and stamped 'excluded'. (my favorite page) Texture and concepts throughout this piece. …

customs declaration CN22, states "BOOK, NO VALUE" and i beg to differ. Layers of history, a chronicle, a saga, hidden pockets of Cheryl's boekies of past. The complexity of this piece is borderline overwhelming, staggering and gorgeous! Apologies for the photos and this blog. Here is a peek into this marvel. Thank you Cheryl. My mind is permanently blown.…

Another tragedy, but this one apparently avoided ... so far ... :

You must read the story. It is well worth it. And now I'm wondering, beneath the barcodes and 60w BELL bulb labels, are we seeing a map of the nefarious and unlawful procurement of the…

Including champagne, even: 

Those caps just do it for me somehow. As we know from the other side here, and from other blogs, Dean's first meeting with Val sadly did not happen. I view that as a terrible tragedy. Could there be any more fun had by…

Carina Granlund almost claimed that this is one: 

Her transfer tragedy is WAY less tragic than the one I sent her in our trade. This thing is unwittingly masterful, and I love it. Well, she did admit to me privately that maybe the white paint ended up helping.

Here is her note on the other side, which is included mainly because there IS a mistake in it, in the…

The top photo is of this great crumbly package from Katerina, containing some of the most beautiful crumbly type of rust I've had the good fortune to own. It will be used in mail art, no question, and it arrived with this big…

Diane sent me a little bit of everything, including some excellent rust and this fabulous holey piece of metal she found which I love:

Everyone likes to know whether the customer comes first in any business endeavor, and we are assured of that with DKult in the following card Diane sent:…

Her art, that is:

Stephanie kindly sent me this great piece after my admiration of another of hers. Thank you again, Stephanie…

At first I didn't know how to take this card.  A man with two women in his arms, and a warning at my own risk.  I thought; "What does Carina take me for, two women at the same time, and blondles none the less?"

And a stiff warning to boot!…

Mona and "someone else" above from Alicia, in mysterious, most appealing, acetate boekie-form. Mona may be bleeding, so I hope…

Thanks again for Yul/Rameses, Angie ~

Thank you, Amy, and I took one day off from trying to understand, thanks to you.

The following is a beauty from Rebecca: …

Well what a treat of two in one week from Amy.  I will only have time to show you this first imagne as there are acutally 13 pages to scan.  Besides that, one of the words "Rowdy" fell off and I'm not sure where to put it back.  The detail is just out of this world, and I am again overwhelmed.

   I'll be adding to this blog at a later date, but for now, enjoy this little peek.…

The KING arirved in Greece today, and I am honored!

His exhibit announcement.."The Silence of Summers" Fantastic title!!!.

A colorful collaboration work:

More cards and fun... a "ghostly" image:…

A very fun mobile from Janine Weiss which came is a clear bag.  I got my mail at the same time as someone else in the building, and they looked at it with amazement.  "Something I order on e-bay", I said.  "Oh right", they said.

At first I tied to put it in the scanner, but that didn't come out very well.…

     Val started a puzzle project a few weeks ago, and Suus in Mokum was also one of the choosen ones.  I agreed to string along as I has understood that it was a pretzel project.

     Well it turned out that the puzzle project didn't have anything to do with pretzels or even beer.  But one wonderful thing is that I received this wonderful piece from Suus in Mokum.  It made the whole project worth it.…

Another unknown Mail Artist - Souvenir di Sicilia - From someone from USA who has been too Silly  to Sicily.  Signed, a friend of a friend of a friend.  But I just saw the Morse code, and I think it came from Amy, or one of her friends.

Thank you who ever you are.…

    Wamm a Bambam, 5 big ones from Katerina.  I tried to deposit it, but it didn't work.

k    But the "Blue For You" did work for me.  Those Van Gogh swirrels do it to me every time

    But wait, barcodes to boot.  Thank you Katerina…

What a collection of fruit stickers from the Super foods woman herself, Alicia Starr.  Looks simple you say?  Try it, and you'll see for your self.

Well funny enough, I have been working for months on something very simular for Alicia, but she beat me to it.  And mine is much smaller.  Yes, I know that this must of been a long time coming.  Thank you Alicia for…

Thankyou to Claudia, Dean, Arac, Val, Suus in Mokum, Janine and Pascal for your mail art!

This is the last batch to arrive before I go catching planes, so any mail that comes from now on will only be answered in 3 months! Please keep sending though! I'll miss you…
