Lesley Magwood Fraser TOTALLY GETS ME!
Lesley sent me some mail art that incorporated some native phrases I shared with her from the Algonquian language--the native tribes that my family is affiliated with back east (New England, United States). WOW...I can't tell you how touching this is to me paired up with your AMAZING portrait studies, Lesley! THANK YOU!!…

Cathérine Petré Spoils Me--Exhibits Multiple Talents in One Envelope
Yesterday My mailbox contained my first blessed gift from Cathérine Petré. Oh! You know how, sometimes you receive an article in the mailbox, and you just know it's going to contain something amazing, and you open the envelope with a reverence as though it were a thousand-year-old document archived at the Smithsonian, and you pull things out of the envelope without breathing…

Carl T. Chew Made Me Blow Beer Out my Nose!
***SPOILER ALERT: Don't read if you wish to discover the secret of the "Most Valuable Stamp Mystery" on your own!
I get home from a workday I'd like to forget, and what's waiting for me in my mailbox? Hmmm... a non-descript envelope, no return address. I crack open a bottle of Big Sky Summer Honey Ale -- 'cause it's been that kinda day -- open the envelope, which is full of cut-up pieces of paper... unfold them and the enclosed "anonymous" note, and literally BLOW BEER SUDS OUT MY…

The Angel of Mercy from GuidoVermeulen
I am so glad to have one of Guido's pieces in my own hands. My poor photo doesn't do justice to his work, but his technique has much more contrast and intricacies than I ever imagined. The thing about angels is you never know what image or form they will transpire in one's life. I have a special affinity for those forms of essence that can only be defined in art or in…

Received Fiber Art from Adamandia!
Adamandia Kapsalis sent me a REALLY great miniature crocheted and needlepoint masterpiece!
Great and amazing things about this piece: I thought I had been working on a small scale with my postcard-size knit pieces... But Adamandia has taken this…

Church of the Air – from Theresa Ann Aleshire Williams
Another piece that arrived – first time receiving – from Theresa.
I am full of admiration for new members like Theresa and like Nancy [Bell Scott]—two who immediately come to mind—who jump with both feet and are able to let loose with such…

Recently Received Bounty... Great Thanks
My home internet connectivity was having troubles of late. The service technician came this morning to fix the problem (hurray!) so I am posting here several recent wonderful mail pieces that have arrived in my mailbox.
The magnificent Eduardo Cardosa sent some “Mind Bending” Paranormal Poste. Enclosed: TWO great pieces! And I loved them both… one a minimalist deconstruction of Roman letter character(s). Several serif appendages line up to create a new re-assembled…

Terrific new Digital Works from I’m a Superhero accompanying Zombie Encyclopedia Pages.
‘I’m a Superhero’ included a set of his digital work that impressed to the point of inspiring me to share…
This set was theme related to the Encyclopedia pages he forwarded to me. They were titled “Zombiesemics—Oscar Wao Remix.” And, while there is enough visual content for each to stand on their own, they work together as a triptych just divinely. I probably…

OOB OOB OOB OOB OOB OOB OOB
Say that a bunch of times fast and you begin to wonder if there's a subliminal message in there somewhere!
This piece is the first work that has come to me from newish IUOMA member Nancy Bell Scott. It kind of shocked me in its wonderfulness -- not that I wasn't expecting great art! Unfortunately you can't tell in my poorly taken photograph, but the streaks of paint…

Try to follow this THREAD of appreciation (a first blog-posting)
This is my first ever blog posting, so—please—I beg of thee, forgive me any foibles or gaffes that may reveal themselves in the prosaic ramblings that follow…
Multiple works of artifice have recently found themselves lodged in my mailbox and this post-ing is a celebration of the DIVERSITY of talent that exudes from all corners of the planet—truly!—represented by a small, but ever growing, microcosm of creatives burrowing within the electronic village called IUOMA. Though the…
