Is he/she wondering where his next meal is coming from? Received this moody, medieval, haunting card from Sandra complete with  gothic castle on the back. She asks me how she can be indoctrinated into DKult, not realizing that she already has. Just one bit of…

I can't even imagine where she found the text "Sticky Confessional" but this collage is fantastic. thank you Lindsay!

Received this great piece in a 'royal mail' envelope from Sarah Churchill. She said she found all these bits on her way to work. I love the way she put this together and Welsh trash certainly looks more intruiging than American. the thread really makes it. thank you…

Received this excellent piece from Claudia giving a family update. Her abstract characters are entrancing and their objects have a life of their own. thanks…

This is a large piece-13 inches long. On the back she writes, "Or Should I ask what is NOT important?" We think the animal is a devil dog--the intellect with its constant need to know everything. I do know that mail art is very very important--and nearly everything else is not:) thanks…

I hope someone can tell me who sent me this wonderful mail…

This is the second round of mail art sent back and altered by Richard. I love the visual dialogue. I also was letting him know that someone was sending me offensive mail art and asking me to send them something--anything--even if it was a tampon. Although Erni Bar has send that he would probably not be offended by receiving such a thing (said that type of thing was done in the…

NBS says the recipe is from a photocopied page of her great-grandmother's recipe book--ice box cookies? her layering is out of this world as she has used paint, ink, fibers, and paper. She also sent me a wonderful stack of 'trash' supplies that arrived just when inventory was low to no. thank you Nancy!! You have been very prolific lately and i don't know how you found time…

This rare document was uncovered during expansion at the Elgin Mansion.  100 years ago, this prophecy listed all future members of DKult/  Easter Miracle? Or just coincidence?

Received this amazing hand painted/drawn envelope from Niklas-love it!

This beautiful mail art arrived today and was created in such an inventive way.The intricate collage-a combo of trashpo, asemics, and illustration, was done on the BACK of an envelope that was INSIDE the envelope and inside the envelope was some very nice paper--which I will be using shortly. Thank you for this wonderful…

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.…

Dean has sent me this "Volcano Life Experience" Piece. How did he know my life has been like a volcanic eruption lately? Call it trashpoition? He has put tire treads, pottery, and what looks like a Trashpo Diety-all constructed from mail art omens from Puerto de la Cruz. He writes "Two lost souls on the road to San Juan" does he mean Him and Vanessa? or does he mean his bar…

KDJ has sent me a huge package of trash that was so authentic that it even felt a little filmy--this is the real shit. Included inside a celery…

This incredibly inventive canvas toolbelt bag arrived stitched together and stuffed full of trash. Stewart explains that he was working at his daughter's school on building a playground and found all these tags that he knew he should send to me! So lucky and he…
