The proliferation of absolute perfection of the hero, so hopeless, will comply with the divine and providential justice of Némésis against the toy of the…

Nancy, Yes, you nailed this. It's a NBS abstract expressionist piece and your inspiration is obvious, Katerina of course. And the cobalt blue shimmered through the glassine envelope. Gorgeous. Thanks.

 a rock, a ball, something he pitched through her kitchen window... take that apron off Babs and go after him. Thanks Svenja. Always a pleasure.…

Many of you would laugh to see me sitting here on my sofa, typing this blog, SURROUNDED by mail art in layers and piles on every remaining inch of the upholstery that my butt is not taking up. I wanted to make sure that I had it all nearby as I tried to describe it.  I am having to use Nancy Bell Scott's recent invention of the "Blog Jam," which is, I think, an iteration of a tool used by Cheryl Penn in the past, and undoubtedly by others who've been overwhelmed by the blessing of mail art…

Diane always gives the best advice, and her inclusion of 'phone niceties' is no exception. See below. …

a thick envelope filled with all kinds of wonderments from DeVillo. I became light headed. not sure if was due to immediate contact with the monkey virus or pure joy. (and surprise) INcluded is an anemic vispo piece :--), a personal note :-0, the Holism Manifest of MinXus!!!…

This is no ordinary comic strip, when Sarah is on the move it's often embroidery we are speaking about and this is no exception! Unfortunately my scanned picture doesn't really show where the embroidery is, but it's the black around the text and between the strips. Sarah is telling me that this work/comic strip is to be continued.. wonderful! Thanks…

One of her now-famous lasts arrived yesterday, and I'm in love with it: 

I couldn't be happier with my first last. Here…

... a surprise because these were "hidden" inside the bird I blogged a few weeks ago! Alicia asked me then "Did you look inside?" Wow: 

With it came a lyrical and poignant note typed on nice vellum: …

And they are intricate beauties: 

Wonderful, and they were folded into this fabulous midnight blue paper, every inch of it painted, with layers of other color and scratches peering out: 

Thank you very much,…

Maybe she's hoping to steal him from Snow White? Walt Disney had an answer for almost anything ... we used to hope ... 

Very artistically done, Janine, and we'll show below the other side, which hints that Janine and I had a fun little talk one day about Prince Charming: …

The first shows polar bears that were among old book pages depicting animals that I'd sent to Svenja. She sent this photo back after giving it a wonderful context, on a painted book cover: 

She says "These guys indicated to travel right back to you--couldn't do anything against it." Who knew they'd talk?? I hope they aren't telling SECRETS, Svenja.

Wait, the one above is Dream #4, a gorgeous dance of color and form. Below is Dream #3:

My scanner doesn't do this subtle piece justice. The purplish-blue is intense, and surrounded by deep versions of rust color that speak to me in a big way. It…

This needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. It's a delicate beauty, and I love it.

Thanks again, Laurence…

The bark is delicate and wonderfully soft (but with inner strength). To try to paint on it is most tempting. 

Lovely…

The note was typed on Katerina's old Olympia Greek typewriter, and I can't remember what I did to deserve it, but did win it in some sort of contest, luckily for me. Katerina said she would translate it when blogged (couldn't remember otherwise!), so here we are. ... ? Thanks again for both,…

I'm very pleased to have these fine pieces, Eduardo--thank you again very…

Who wouldn't behave herself with a knitted gun in the room?

Thank you, Sarah--I especially need it to help me live up to my Fancy name ~
