The other day in the mail, an Add & Pass that originated with "E" arrived via Theresa Williams ... I've added 2 John Lennons, a facsimile butler and bull in a frame (the original having been added to a Svenja Wahl collage that she was kind enough to send to me), and an inspirational quote about puzzles and pieces and being your own world ... a surrealistic touch if ever…

The beat goes on for Snooky ... Snooky's always up for some more "television snow".  Many thanks, Angie!

Received this amazing first ever trashbook from Janine. It is definately the thickest one that has been made to date and deserves a…

Really amazing mail art from Stephanie. The envelope itself is frameworthy. She has photocopied the art inside and made an envelope out of it.…

A large A4 envelope was tossed on the stairs yesterday,

but I retrieved it to safety and discovered delicate beauty inside, as only Marie Wintzer can create!

"A Circle" No.3 of 6...soft, large pages of leaf-pressed rice paper pulp…

Beautiful BLUE in the mail box :-)

Suus in Mokum sent a fantastic blue watercolor...and we are on a BLUE-exchange for sure :-)

Then there was BLUE surprises from Vizma...who is traveling and is now in Trinidad, mon!…

One day came "365/365" and the following day came "364/365"...back to the Future!

(See SnookyDog stamp?)

But the great thing is that Angie and Snooky have completed "365"! Congrats!

...and now on to "#1001"? …

What a bunch of garbage? NOT! FAB Pink Trashpo and mysterious "eyes" from the Artist-in-Seine: Dean Marks.

It…

This isn't Buckingham Palace, right Dean? But I don't know, maybe the Palace signs are hidden underneath the glued-on wooden fork that is plastered against the house. The Queen doesn't even look surprised by the fork. There seems to be a little consternation on her face, but I hear that isn't unusual : 

This is from Dean Marks's "Mail Art on the Road" series, of course,…

The Eugene O'Neill stamp+envelope from October 16,1967! What a beaut Bifidus sent me, and notice that he included quite an education. I learned numerous things about O'Neill that I'd been sorely ignorant of until now:  …

Two of the three pieces in Janine's anarchic-looking envelope feature leopards, among other things, including a talkative and/or brave bird. These are delightful: 

She also included another collage, more abstract and yet still we can recognize a creature in the corner. At first I thought a dog, but now am wondering if it's another wild cat in a rasta hat. In any case,…

An excellent collage that I consider a most successful "experiment in consumer consciousness," as Lynn puts it: 

It's an inspiring addition to the Kult of D! Thank you very much,…

She did this on a page of text, so that the threads are covering, or almost covering, every word. It's a fine, beautiful, and mysterious piece. This is the second time I've been so fortunate to be richly surprised by mail art from Rebecca in my mailbox. Thank you very much, Rebecca…

Plot49 alternate reality game is based upon the underground postal network in 'The Crying of Lot 49' by Thomas Pynchon. For a good introduction to the book, see 'The Crying of Lot 49' Wikipedia entry. For the game itself see Plot49 Alternate Reality Game . W.A.S.T.E.

The first TrashPo Bubbles posted on Friday, prompting the question, "What is a TrashPo Bubble, anyway?"

A little back story is needed here: The first piece of…

Always like art with warning labels-it adds to the suspense. Got this great envelope from her packed full of interesting bits and pieces. My favorite is the instructional pamphlet on how to do a zine bomb: she shows how to make these A4/8 pages in one 8X10 sheet on the underside of hers. I just learned how to make this about a month ago and it definately saves on printing…

somehow I could see Nadine's cast of characters resting comfortably in Claudia's living furniture environments. I'm going to leave the secret junk a secret-great stuff as always Nadine thank you!!

I waas so excited to receive this trashbook from Sarah. She has used junkmail, magazine pages, lottery tickets, a fully intact teabag which I…

In mai I was participating in Val's mysterious-jigsaw-puzzle-project. I received puzzle pieces from different puzzles and so did other Mail Artist. I sent the pieces to Katerina, wrapped in blue Ikea-paper. She made these beautiful blue islands card. Recycling is fun! Thank you…
