ZALOP BLUE is the color of mail art to MomKat! in Greece! Yay!

Here are three that arrived in Greece this week:

from Valentine

An amazing  "sea monster" ...and postage stamp :-)…

Always fantastic to see a well-stamped envelope from Ruud!

gotta love all the words-of-wisdom"...MAIL ART! YAY!…

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.

Oh, Erni....

Three collage postcards from Erni came in the mail

Mail from the city was delivered and ArtDoggie Sushi (Kunsthund Sushi)

had to investigate, of course.…

I've been making zines & upcycled badges from used, bird-themed postage stamps this year, after my dad was diagnosed and passed away from bowel cancer.  Proceeds from items sold are going to a bowel cancer awareness charity.  This is a new batch of badges I have made from a sheet of used stamps which my dad…

I first hosted Friends & Faux back in 2010 and it was an awesomely fun project to co-ordinate. The project postcards feature ‘gallery’ spaces for 8 artistamps/faux postage stamps which are filled up as they are passed from one mail artist to the next before the completed card finally returns home.  I decided it was time for this project to live again!  For full details of…

Dot thinks Vizma's recent mailart piece is a right bit of fine minded resplendence.

Tamara sent me two pieces of mail art.  This is a fragment from her painted-altered postcard.  Sometimes a postcard is able to transmit am emotion and for me this does - I guess that's VISPO.  

The other card Tamara sent me is from her deceased friend, Elizabeth Obelenus.

Together they make quite a pair.

To see both visit:…

Thank you, Cristina, for sending mail art as you travel!

Very "minimal" envelope and very fascinating art inside:

strips of painted/mono-printed paper..…

Well, always nice to receive mail art from Mary,

and see her support for an animal shelter:

But something very special was included in Mary's mailing:…

Envelope has Mail Art Martha's 25-Years IUOMA artistamp! Great fun!
