From Ireland and taidgh, Happy St. Patrick's Day!

From New Mexico, A Sci-Fi by David!…

     Darwin meets Madonna and re-writes "The Origin of the Species". So here we go again, another Canadian picking fun at our poor Madonna. Heavens forbid if we say anything funny about Celine Dion. I bet the Canadians would start a war.

     I could see it now, Canadians united side by side at the border throwing jars…

It is my first envelope devoted to "the 400 anniversary of House of Romanovs". On an envelope portrait of the "quietest" tsar Alexey Mikhaylovich. This quietest tsar, Peter's I father, arranged cruel persecution on conservatives. It burned the known spiritual instructor of protopriest Avvakum alive, and the boyar to Morozov and her sister the princess Urusova…

Everything's coming up ROSES!

Beautiful flowers arrived in Greece from Spain.

Thank you , Sabella!

And don't forget to send to Sabella...ROSES:…

Nice big FAT package arrived in Greece from Neil.

"Handle with Care"? Ha!

One must use special "Open-Erni-Mail" technique for this, too:…

Another mystery mail - this time from Argentina. I have to admit, I pinched the image from Servat's photos. It is about A3 in size and too large to scan on my scanner. First I thought it was the invitation to some art show, but it seems the poster is part of a series of images or visual poems forming a longer narrative. I love the double guys with umbrellas,…

One of my oldest zine ideas (first featured in a now obsolete zine about postcards called PostScript) has been recycled into a new looseleaf zine: The Postcard Recycling Kit. Includes crafty postcard projects as well as postcard labels to upcycle any artwork, waste cardstock, or any other item you choose! More pics & further info…

My first mail from Carl!

Vizma at Waitpinga Museum of Post[al] Modern Art, oh, looking forward to that exhibition :)))

Below, the envelope, full of Carl's beautiful artist stamps. What a treat!…

BIG mail from Trick Sensei, love it, so much to look at, just like an A3 Brain Cell!

Next line from BF, 2nd edition of the special artist stamps made for just me, aw shucks, thanks BF! Also some super rubber stampings and bonus stamps, titled 'Giro'.

A tall T from Rebecca, very special to be included in her alphabet letters series.

So good to hear…

Dean Marks sent a fantastic "Security Egg"

(and it is within the A4 max size...only 27 cm tall and 18 cm wide)

Great layering of BLUE security envelopes, a few Greek BLUE, too!

Wish you all could see how they are "pop-up" in…

Mim sent this mesmerizing mail art with a quote worth pondering by the Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh: "Life is available only in the present moment." Thank you, Mim!

Val's sent me a print, that goes well with E's card posted previously, in terms of colour and, possibly theme. Which half of  the Chinese symbol is it, the Ying or the Yang? Why only half, anyway? Am I reading too much meaning into this? I think I remember Val mentioning somewhere that is it a print of a doorstopper. An altogether mundane object may still lead…

A simple card, presumably a page from a some sort of book, printed and embossed from E. E's mail art often has an aura of mystery to me. Who is existential Fluxus X, possibly a distant relative of mine? And XY, is that a response…
