Roberto's envelopes always seem to have multiple "goodies" included with them. And his envelope's are not the least of his treasures!...

Envelope back: Toros en Sevilla 2011 (gorgeous!)…

Thanks for all !

By nature I am a whimsical person who can whim her way into something a little quickly.  I have decided with my Mail art to not burn myself out quickly by trying to keep up with all that I receive.  So, I promise to send you a piece if you send me one but do not be disappointed if it takes time for me to get it to you.  I haven't forgotten but simply waiting for that Muse to come knocking in my brain. Also, I am getting use to mailing Internationally and I haven't figured out all of the…

Yesterday I received a smelling tobacco postcard from Nadine Wendell. It contains a chinese cigarette pack and Nadine wrote that she found it on the ground. There is a terrible picture from teeth after years of smoking (I guess, can't read Chinese ;-) So it's two in one: a strong warning against smoking and wonderful mailart!

'Tis an honor to have TWO amazing large collages from Herr Haptic Erni! Both are filled with his humor and laughter...as are his envelopes! 'Love his friendly "UHU", that makes the world stick together! "Degrees" is personally symbolic for me. Super!…

"Knitting Mill" and streams of other places flow across one page of the mail art card with a vintage "Air Mail" US stamp that Nancy sent. Perhaps it is upside-down, what that "Annual Report" reads that way...or not. It is nestled nicely in the olive tree.…

These amazing cards from TestTower will form cover and chapter dividers when I bind up the other contributions. His cards sing! Sometimes the…

Great "shredpo" Ether arrived from Marie, with instructions to "beware of ether". Amazingly textural under the clear film cover and delicately stitched and knotted with white threads. Very tempting to want to open and create with that shredpo material...mmmmmm, nice!…

... including Theresa's truly wonderful epistolary poem on the back:

I find Theresa's epistolary poetry awe-inspiring -- have become a big fan -- and this may be the best yet. In very few words, she paints a picture that allows you to see the real Emily…

OMG! as the kids would say! 

Last week I got this beautiful piece from Thom.  Wow!  So many interesting details. 

Packaged in cellophane, some pieces move around.  There are fleur de lis confetti's, pictures, faux postage, tickets, hand crochet and hand knit elements.  And the tribute to fluxus chain stitched and cable knit into the back.  

Thank you Thom.  This thing of beauty will be a joy for many years.

Thanks, Diane! I believe I forgot to post this one.

I received this monochromatic and mysterious card from Diane Keys, I love…

I'm a bit behind in documenting some of the fascinating things I've been getting in the mail the last 2 weeks or so.  This one is from Jen Staggs, my fellow Texan. Thanks Jen!

Jen, I know you had rain and we didn't last week, but I think you've had more 100 degree days this summer.  Tomorrow will be # 70 for us breaking an all time record and…

My sincerest apologies for the tamales candy cards which arrived postage due to some of all on my list of folks I owe mail to.  They were 6 inches by about 3 1/4, which is not too large, but the smaller dimension was less than 3 1/2.  There were some mylar confetti pieces, tape and ribbon stitched on the cards.  Did they get charged extra because they were an odd size? Anyone have theories?  I'd like to not make a mistake like that again.

TWO brown envelopes from Japan: one Brain Cell from Ryosuke, and one Ether from Marie Wintzer! More details coming in another blog soon ;-)

TWO Asemics16 #3 boekies arrived: one from Dark Wall and another from Freider Speck. Both SUPER!…
