Another great piece from Guido. I have been studying his Mail Art and it is still a mysterie how he does it. This piece is called 'A cascade of dreams ending in a Dutch poem'. In the dream Guido is looking for his cats... in colour.

Thank you Guido.

Mink of the Tangerine Oncoming by De Villo Sloan. How delightfully scrambled shades of red can warble  when mixed with a kind of pulp-fiction old movie poster and garrulous words. Free Verse in action.

Somehow, I’m going with Christopher Smart and a turn at Mr Potters asylum and a change from curable to incurable.  I know I may be talking in code, but this is…

Inspired by DK's recent trashpo videos and the discussion which broke out on my previous blog post, Oh! For the Love of Trash! (which can be found here: http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/oh-for-the-love-of-trash?xg_source=activity) Moo and I set out to see what we could discover of the remains of an old trash pit out…

This really takes me back to childhood. I always loved scratch paper and Claudia has made her own. Love this piece-thank you Claudia! And it has legs, but isn't a chair!

Mixed Media Mail Art from Claudia! I love it and the chairs really give depth to the piece of art. Thank you…

What a surprise! MailArt from MailArtist that I don't know yet. Mim4Art sent a collage with a US Postal Service Certified Mail Receipt. Sounds very important, thank you Mim. Jon also sent a beautiful collage with a rather sad little boy, I think. Thank you…

Sometimes, living on a 7 acre plot, where it was routine to dig holes and bury trash in bygone years, has it's advantages. DK wanders the streets of Elgin, eyes wide open for bits of this and that. Me, I tend to hunt in my own backyard: Piney Creek Acres.

Last week, I was walking the dog and the sun glinted off something shiny and black! I couldn't…

I thought about hijacking at DK's blog, but let's make it a "C-Day" with three blogs for Carina's great mail art.

Wonderful envelope arrived in Greece today, and also fantastic contents!

I'm really amazed by Carina's techniques. I don't know how or where she gets these vintage transparent overlays, but this piece is perfectly balanced . This is in response to a trashbook I had sent her that said "Be Safe". I love how she has worked this into her return piece. Carina is an amazing talent and each piece has her signature on it, but yet they are all so very…

a driftwood piece ensconced in a thick piece of corrugated cardboard...a great surprise from Mike *!*

David sent me a huge box with the incredible following items back in March. The tale's main subject, Mr. Twig himself, reveals a tentative but brave grace as he starts up David's watercolor-painted stairway into a cave marked The Secret of the Ages: 

The painting is 14"x14", and Mr. Twig is haptic. He is real and strokable. And he is on his way up into something many of…
