Thank you…

Janine Weiss: Coucou dit le hibou (Hello says the Owl)

The wise Owl sends a jam packed card of images and messages.  The elephant and the mouse is an age old Swiss  wise tale about how a little thing can help a big thing.  Then again, it might be the story about how the mouse took the Swiss cheese from the elephant.  I'll let you decide.

All these messages, which one do you see first?  Somehow my eye keeps going to…

Carina Granlund: Time out for Tension

Do you suffer from too much claim in your daily life?  Does it snow so much that you can't even open your front door to buy an envelope?  Do reindeer stroll by your windows looking for food?  If not, you need Mail Art.

A real fun card with lots of messages.  Happy New Year…

The New Address Book Lives

When I started making mail art, I decided to keep somewhat detailed notes about what arrived in my mailbox and what I sent out. I did this from day one. In my notebook I would write down the artist’s name, and beside their name I would keep a tally of the amount they sent to me, and how much I sent to them. This way, I kept a one to one balance. There’s one person out…
