Sue Hobbs and Karin Greenwood both live in my neck of the woods and I often bump into them at the local supermarket, but it is always a treat to receive mail from them.

Karin's quirky people so cleverly painted using all kinds of media, and Sue's lovely fabric work are their latest offerings. Thanks gals, I love them.…

Not sure what bei means, but Svenja's work is always quiet and contemplative... thanks Svenja! I love the vintage photos that people include in their work, these kids seem to be doing something in the bushes!  I think they are picking grapes. What are they doing Svenja?…

One of a few pieces from Diane over the past couple of months - Name, Language, Population, with a nice spidery drawing on the left side... Thanks Diane, your work always pleases me! Something winging its way to you at the moment.

Amy Irwen is spoiling me by sending some great pieces two days in a row - thank you Amy!!

Carina send this super-collage and asks "are you pretty? Why did she ask? Look at my profile pic - I'm a bit damaged, but still pretty, I think ... ? Carina used some kind of tape transfer  and a picture of a bird which didn't find her approval (crossed out). 

Together with a very kind note (thank you!) she also send this card: …

Help needed: I received this card, someone (or someTHING) is looking out from behind, and is promising "hope"! But who?

Here is the backside:

I have received some AMAZING ART in the last few weeks and I am going to scan them very soon, tell the story and share its glory with the rest of you.

Val. Hope you guys document the actual event. Dean, in looking up Recolant it seems it means from a small, boutique vineyard. Whatever it means it must be ok with you. and this piece is ok with me. :-) Thanks! Love it.…

Carina also included one of her 'easy peasy' prints "Where is your head?" Response heading your way soon Carina. and a BIG thanks. Nothing is too small from you.…

A great piece from Jim SantAmour!

I took part in a soundtrack project called "1 minute autohypnosis" that Pedro Bericat organized, and he was kind enough to send out this object.  The package contains a CD disk with all of the participants' soundtracks along with an embossed image of a 33 1/3RPM record.  Pretty cool!  To listen to all of the CDs…

Glad to receive this wonderful card from Lesley - her drawings are ever so impressing, fine, and elegant; here the paper in the background is wonderful too:

Very beautiful, Lesley, thanks a lot lot lot!…

Received this  inviting piece from Janine! It is made with tissue paper, paint, and some other transparent textured overlay. It is warm like her and very Fall-ish. Maybe it is Fall in Switzerland?

I love the print work and the colors--thanks, Coralette!

Something new in the neighborhood?

If it is tape, it's Jon Foster!

This mail art from Jon is mysterious and vague under layered packaging tape.

"So...this ...means you"? "It's an..." arty piece :-)

Great texture and…
