Thank you everyone who is interested in receiving a piece of my mail art series, "Confessions of a Bipolar Girl." Here, for example, is number 8.

The story of the "Three Glass Pears."

Three glass pears, put them in your kitchen. Yum! Don't they look tasty?! Some days, I think, I'd like to chew on a glass pear. Maybe a pair of pears plus one...those three glass pears! Well, I think that would be very tasty, CRUNCH CRUNCH! The blood starts to pour, the taste of metal…

something we made for DEAN'S  parents 60th anniversar.

Fabulous piece of Christmas from Viviana!  Each sequin and bead is lovingly stitched on.  Thank you!

Just a wonderful piece from Roberto for Christmas!  It's made of fabric.  Thank you!

Cheryl is one gal that makes the most of an envelope!  I recently received a GOTIJ (thank You) on one side & a ZALMOP…

Apparently, licking too many stamps can have little-known consequences like pregnancy.  Thankfully, Dean Marks has provided an unusual mail-art object for the delivery: a French-government-supplied bandage kit!  Complete with plastic scissors, drape and two tweezers in the French national colors.  Trop bien!  Merveilleux!  It also includes a real scratch-n-sniff strawberry stamp, a thing I didn't know ever existed and I am sooo excited.  What a fantastically weird and wonderful piece of…

Received 30+ cranes in an envelope that was addressed from Acton, Mass.  There was no name on the package - if you see this and it's you, please let me know so I can thank you!

Thank you Katerina for this card and the beautiful white peace cranes that you sent!

I was the very lucky recipient of the MAILART 365 stamp that Mim offered as a prize to those of us still making mailart every day for a year once she had finished. Not only did I get the stamp, I also got a wonderful jiffy bag full of precious scraps.  I pulled out some of the scraps one by one and laid them down on the scanner randomly and this is what I got when I download…

 She wanted this trashbook pale and snowy, like the season: 

It's very successful both as a trashbook and in fulfilling her wish for me to have white trash. I love it! Thank you very much, Diane, I too am fulfilled!  Four more photos follow, and viewers will see that some holiday color did sneak in there. A favorite is the 2nd Place ribbon in the last photo. It…

"Celebrate Light" is the perfect message this time of year: 

Beautiful message, colors, shapes--I love it and have put it in the studio storefront window so people passing by can enjoy it too. Roberto Rios sent a very Christmasy card that I'm…

Catherine says this is the artistic result of a conversation we had a while ago: 

This is a monotype+collage, and I think it's brilliant--evocative, stylish, and detailed yet with a certain undefinable atmosphere. Catherine tells me not to worry, this guy "looks grumpy but he's sweetness itself!"  I love it, Catherine, thank you very much.  Very nice, artful envelope…

Two art works from Japan were in the mail box today. Long time traveling, but so happy to receive!Thank you both!xx

Debbie's art is well-known here at IUOMA...beautiful etegami.

Here is an open door for me, and a road to follow...who knows where i might be swept off to!

Marie's is  a delicate Japanese writing on even more delicate Japanese…

A very Happy Holiday Themed fiber art postcard...Love the combination of the leathery paper, fabric ribbon and glass gift wrap...then you add additional texture and depth by sewing on sequins and beads...

Thank you and Happy Holidays!  *o*
