This is the 1st treasure from Laurence (Nancy, France) which I received a few weeks ago. A little French bird told that yet another is on the way! ^_^ In the meantime, I share a taste of my joy...…

From Sarah Churchill, South Wales, UK    (189/365)

From Claudia McGill, Pennsylvania, US

From Diane Keys, Illinois,…

As you may have guessed, the tale of the lost dog was behind him and he could not see it due to his long hare.

I enjoy looking at this piece which has more details that the scan can not pick up.  Very fun.  Thank you Angie.

A landscape of sand paper with the setting of a beer cap to light up the evening sky.  Now how fab is that?  Well here it is, and it looks better than the real thng.

My guess is that the red sand paper was imported from Germany.  The bar codes are just an extra.  Thank you…

Yet another stunning piece from Kerri.

It's like watching a long-exposure photograph of the Minnesota Vikings (those are their team colors...) playing in the snow...

Thank You!…

I'm posting all my mailart in golden postboxes :>))) http://www.goldpostboxes.com/

Thank you for fantastic mailart from Jill French, Katerina, Vizma, Susan Walker, Michael Orr, Lisa at skybridge studios and Val. I am so happy to receive mailart from you all :>)))

Thank you so much, Janine! Lots of Love to you too!

Three arty slides with great tiny images arrived in Greece.

I'm not doing too many of these arty slides, as i find the "space" so tiny!

But Janine and others are creating…

This is another beautiful tape-transfer from Jon.

(See the BLUE.."to use"?)

He has a wonderful way of "picking-up" text and images

with packaging tape and then creating these mail art pieces!

Always a good mail art day…

Always a joy to receive a card from Deborah Davidson in Japan.

She is no longer here at IUOMA, but has a very active blog and

continues to send many "etegami" cards.

Here is a beauty in BLUE inspired by a Robert Frost poem

"Desert Places"…

This is a beauty! Mim did a great series of this "holes" and "anti-holes" idea!

using fantastic color arrangements and surprises! Keeping it MIM- minimal !

After completing her first "365" mail art pieces, she went on to do "1000"!…

Medwolf was away for a while for health reasons,

but a fun package arrived in Greece and he is BACK to mail art!

Many a reference to the natives of Saskatchewan, beautiful leather and beaded crafts:…

"A Circle" is a poetic and very beautiful book sent by Marie: 

This book is a thought-provoking reminder that it was Marie's work I first saw the day I stumbled into IUOMA over a year ago. It was in a blog by Thom Courcelle, and her work…

She might have found this, as is, for all I knew, but she tells me she put it together:  It touches me that Susan made this inventive art piece in honor of my love for rust. She even tried to make the middle part rusty--spraying it with water for quite a while, she said--but it wouldn't cooperate. Rust never sleeps, but now we know it isn't everywhere. And no matter. I love…

First the old from Erni, of course--a great found paper, mounted on cardboard: That part of this paper is rust-colored is yet another sign of the thoughtfulness of Erni Bar. But this isn't all! In a small round cheese box the following contents arrived:   Clay…

Katerina found and sent me this great rusty can lid:  It's a beaut. It's a young one--probably hasn't reached adolescence yet--so its rusty and rusting journey through life has a marvelous freshness along with the telltale signs of time and exposure.

Does Katerina send only the lid? Noooo. She made a (blue) art card incorporating her own originally designed rusty-can-lid…

Each envelope is really interesting by itself, too. In fact the first impression was that these were abstracts by Katerina herself:  Very thoughtful of Katerina, as I'd admired Ahmet's Marilyn and still do. But Katerina didn't send these empty. She never would! Each contained a very nice blue (!!) card from her: …

If you get to receive detritus from David's desk now and then, you are lucky too:  David says this is from circa 1992. David's history continues to prove that he didn't just grow an imagination yesterday. This thing had me in stitches, and my only complaint is that the "informal evening of frank, open whining about life in Santa Fe" was restricted to life in Santa Fe. Why not…
