This card got ripped in half on its way from U.S.A. and arrived in an apologetic envelope. Oh dear! I think the handwriting looks like Thom's - am I right? I don't have the half with the sender's name on it. Anyway, thank you - the half I have is much…

Hi Sarah - thanks for the spots, swirls and Pride and Prejudice which arrived (sorry) last month. Hope all's good for you! : > )

Dimitra - this is gorgeous. Did you use marbling inks for this? I love that figure half visible in the corner. Thank you so much! : > )

I'm a bit worried about her sunburn but this made me smile! Thanks Martha.

Andy as he sees himself - the adventurer. He and Elena are in Vietnam having quit their jobs and decided to travel. Check out their blog at postcardsfromus.com - good luck you two! 

Thank you Petrolpetal!

The first mailart I have ever received in response to a mailart call. Momentous. Thank you Val for Mother Duck taking BirdieDuck to School. Apt for September. Notice the eyebows of anxiety - oh dear. I hope BirdieDuck in particular will cope with the challenges of…

Thank you Cristina - love your mailart. The scan doesn't do them justice - they are like little floating alien creatures with tiny, tiny eyes.

Is this Barbara Hepworth's sculpture garden, Emily? It's a really lovely card you've made. Top effect with the stitching on the envelope too - thank you! See you in the post soon - so happy to meet more UK mailartists (though nothing against my global mailart friends of course!!!)…

a lovely calm piece of mailart : > )

Interesting texture - and the beermat's been franked on the arty side not on the stamp as far as I can tell! :>)

summertime sandpo - a lovely seasonal contribution to my letterbox - thank you

Two lovely envelopes from Melissa. The gocco-printed one reminds me of a suitcase I just saved from ending up in the local rubbish dump. I was told it belonged to Margaret who was 105 years old :>)…

Always nice to receive unexpected mailart and that's just what this was - from Emily in Plymouth - thank you so much! : > )

Hello Martha - thank you (belatedley) for your ma - I met this seagull in Brighton last week! And... when I went to St Ives a seagull dive-bombed my icecream and carried it off in its hefty beak. Love the card and the regal portraits. It would be so nice to meet up sometime again - thank you for cheering up my letterbox…
