This is not mail art but for painting exchange but I want to share here too because I sent keroko to some mail art friends here...

from @Taziana Baracchi I first thought it was a regular mail art but she said it's for the mail art call. looking at again the mail art bunny sheet has a size of the matchbox.

It's do-it-yourself matchbox design... (^_^)…

Here is Keiichi Nakamura 's matchbox is it kind of like a Western painting on Japanese Byobu (screen)? my own interpretation...

plus his additional stamp sheet is funky.

Thank you very much for your busy time, Keiichi san.…

here are 2 of matchbox art arriving today for the call! Thanks to both of them for cooperation! 

This one is from Stripygoose from England I think she made the box herself and put an tiny owl in the box also the photo of the owl as the cover. Love it!!…

my postcard to San Francisco USA

Amazing Tokyo map collage boxes with little "Peeps" just have arrived! 

This is the first match box call I have got so far.... very inspiring... Thank you.

Anybody else who wants to try the project like hers, please join! no complications, simple is fine! (as I learned from her.)…

I was doing this painting last year when Moan Lisa was asking about Fake Andy Warhol. I was painting at some event as a live painting but could not finish. I finally finished these with Marker and Pastel for the cans. I am planning to send this to Moan, but if other people want I can send it too as a postcard. …

I made a photo book about the Tenderloin Park SF, designed and printed from a J photo book site.

I am selling on the net but feel free to view pages on my blog. …

Before Facebook era, I did not know anybody in IUOMA but member just sent me without telling me or asking my address. They just looked up my page (I guess) and sent me. It was mysterious because I had no idea who is this guy or woman sent me or what were their mail art about.... In FB, they post photos and explain their in coming or their own mail art, so…

I am so behind returning to you all, but I am documenting the mail art. Here are some of them from Picasso's mail.

He has sent me many mails since last year, before and after my visit at his stampland in Chicago.

Just was experimenting doing some medium transfer today.

Before I use my own photos, I just use different ads, leaflet, bread bag paper. It was fun, but I need more practice and experimentation.…

mail art out going, just made a photo collage from my photograph today.

Today is very hot and sunny. He is relaxing and dust out. 

The last medicine box was too large, so I made a new one now.

If you want the last one, please let me know I can give out.…

I made a magnet with a bath roman (name of the Japanese bath salts) pull top. Behind it I pasted a sheet of magnet cut-out with the size.

Here I made for Nikki S. 

She seems to like cats so I save the cat photos from the cat food bag. 

I stamped a cat stamp on Mac Donald paper bag and cut and pasted on postcard.

I also pasted a little origami doll just got recently... …
