Cheryl sent me this beautiful piece.  I can smell the oil paint.  I love it!  Thank you, Cheryl!…

She came....with the glory of ZALOP! And the aroma of distant oil paintings and masterpieces.

ZALOP! My postal gal didn't want to give me the mail...she asked to have the stamps! Not! Sorry, but the South African fishies are mine, all mine. Well, I opened…

Royal mail for me! The Queen of Trashpo is sending me one of her Trashbooks. More than a just a Trashbook, it seems to be an invitation of some sort. Visitor pass and admittance ticket included, it looks like the Trash People are eager to meat me.

LOVE the book cover mail art coming from Nancy Bell Scott lately. At first I thought that it was something she had created by hand from blue denim, but upon a closer look, and a smell, I could tell that she had truly re-purposed an antique book.

Lisa/Skybridge Studios sent this hilarious collage of creatures. I'm still laughing about the barking cookies and the wonderful harmonious pair of zebras. 

On the reverse side a great rabbit for DYI, I love it, thanks a lot, Lisa!!!…

A book: An object filled with pages bound by a cover. Thats what the dictionary says anyway.  Could that be a suitable description? No, I'm certain its too finite.  Books  are living spaces to become immersed in, multifaceted creatures, each holding within a complex set of codes, structures and textual and/or visual experiences.  To me they are perfect art vehicles – no matter their form, medium, function or visual presence. “Boekies” is a term we have come to know well at IUOMA – it is an…
