So beautiful comes the Art-of-the-ENVELOPE from Marie, that one hates to open it!

Blossoms and colors, postage stamps and Japanese calligraphy abound, and one knows it is from Marie!

I always carefully slice the sides of the…

Thank you, M Nidham!!

This weird doll has nothing to do with this post. I just thought it was cool. I sent out some mail art. It was returned to me chopped in half.…

Thank you Jon!!

Actually the main part of this is the envelope which is so amazing that the post person forgot to cancel the stamps.  Bingo!  In side was a thank note and 3 French stamps (one is hidding on the photo) leftover from her stay in Paris.  And where did she find Eiffel tower tape?…

Thank you Val!!

Anna Banana sent me this piece of paper with a note: "This is paper that covered my spray table for the past 2 years, see what creative magic you can do with it."  Well to tell you the truth, I don't even know what a stray table is, or even what it looks like.  The only thing I could think of is the stray I put on the collars and cuffs of the my shirts when they are on the ironing board.*…

Mail-art by IUOMA member Marie Wintzer (Saitama, Japan)

March 28, 2012 - A message in this beautiful package of mail-art from Marie Wintzer warns me that this material is meant only for the mysterious…

Cheryl has once again investigated. She always brings back tiny bits of forgotten history from her trips for us to enjoy. This one had me laughing for a long time. And where does she get all that stuff from? Leonardo and his bi-pede T-shirt that he never took off :-))) a piece of genius writing. The front of the card is a picture of the T-shirt, and the back is an…

I am always looking forward to Karen's envelopes. It's a gift every time. I got two of them last week, with card and arty slides, and very sweet messages. The card is a photo of relatives, as she explains on the back of it. Tightly surrounded by a protective white line, and looked after by an angel. The slides are great too, I particularly like the black and…

GOTIJ! Mini graffitti with sir wonder dog charging the general in uniform. Who is that guy? Always enjoy your self portraits, (see lower left of envelope).

:--D   Thanks…

Yes Yes Yes, Katerina did it, and alas, I failed.  A leap year card post dated the 29th of February 2012.  Spot on Katerina.  Some when wrong with mine and they were all post dated 1 March.  Bravo I say, and I'll have to wait another 4 years before my turn comes around.

A very rare card indeed from Katerina, but I'll be more on the ball the next time around ...…

Faster than a speeding paint, more powerful than bar codes on a card, and able to send Mail Art without an envelope, it's Super Kat ... erina.  I received these little wonders in two seperate envelopes, but they arrived on the same day.  All the elements are here for my enjoyment.  What are the seeds you ask?  Oh those are Bar Code seeds.  They must be planted on the 1st of April and become flowers with stripes.  Thank You Katerina.…

The printed word from Nancy reminds me of an old cowboy series called Gun Smoke.  My Dad loved that show.  The cowboy would go in to see 'The Doc", and "The Doc" would show him this card to tell the cowboy what he had.  The cowboy would reply; "Doc, you know I can't read"  My Dad would laugh.  Thank you Nancy, or should I say Miss Kitty!

Where she found…

Lovely FiberArt! (or should I say FiberArt-ichoke)

Hi there,

I am going away for a week to Scotland at the beginning of April and I am looking for somebody who might be willing to create some artistamps for the Positively Postal website while I am away. I usually make mine based on (historical) events of the day or if there is some sort of special (sometimes made up) occasion, such as Make Up Your Own Holiday day (that was yesterday apparently!) or Bunsen Burner day this coming Saturday. However, you could just make them about…
