received this add n pass from Alicia Starr, worked on it apparently covering over who the originator of it is. Does anyone know whom I am supposed to mail it back to?

It is interesting how the context changes an image. Arttower's friendly little lady, which I am sure you have all seen many times before, found her way onto a kitchen shelf, ready to step out of the frame and start helping to cook. Thank you!

Barry's small collage is the third art mail I received so far. I really like crows and ravens, did you know? I have communed with crows more than once. Thank you for the advice, I will try my best! The little stray dog, which usually lives somewhere hidden in the back of the shelf has come out and seems very pleased to have new…

Such a joy to find this gorgeous envelope in my box...and the beauty inside! Also, my kind friend enclosed some primo papers & ephemera...

Back of the wonderful collage & envelope, plus note:

and some of the ephemera:…

And adding Rebecca Guyver - a book that Rebecca says was an experiment - I have to say a successful one! A constructed container which acts as home for words and images.

 I think that most of us who know Rebecca know she lives on a farm - I'm certain I have a Romantic view of farming - but for certain I know there is such a thing as farm-envy.

O Henry may be…

Thom sent me this great all inclusive Holiday Card and poem. Thom is spreading the love through poetry and trashpo. DKult is so proud to have him as a member--he promises work DKoracle bags are in the works. These will be great for the Blind Auction to raise…

I think I said a while back I was the Protector  of Z. Just to ensure my position, Ruud has awarded further Z words in the building up of the back of his Fluxus 'dictionary'.  Its good that Z is getting attention - its not always pleasant to be at the back of the Q.  For a lexophile/logophile - take your pick, this is a wonderful score to participate in.   A reminder - Ruuds Fluxus Score has been in the making since 1988 - IUOMA is one such word.  On receiving a new word, the following…

Some very nice stamping and collage, thank you Samuel!…

Crushed package from TicTac...

but no damage to contents! Thank you, Patrizia...'love the game/slide and eye-card!…

All different, all much appreciated and admired - mailart at its best :>)

Dear Friends,

I have opened a group dedicated to William Blake (1757-1827) and the proposal to declare him the Patron Saint of Mail Artists. You can download this letter as pdf and pass it on: …

Wonderful energy and I love Cheryl's writing, especially "Asemic city is semiotically congested."  Thank you…

Neil sent an exciting package to me recently. (When ISN'T it exciting to get a big package??!!  WHHHOoooOOHHooo!!) 

Upon opening it I found two nice balls of yarn--just PERFECT for creating some DK Oracle™ bags for the Trashpo folks!! AND... some original art boekies that Neil created that incorporate doodles, character sketches, rubber stamps, and scratch notes.  Several pages are like a bestiary of wormish-dragons.  They're…

Hi friends! I'm recently returned from travels abroad--a lovely holiday, thank you--and I received some great mail that collected while I was away! A great fun time to go through the loot upon my return, and I wanted to share some with you (it may take multiple blog postes to get through it all...)

Many pieces were Hallowe'en-themed, so it is appropriate that I'm documenting it on the hallowed day itself...

Amy Irwen's awesome little package was WAY more 'TREAT' than 'trick!'…

Thank you Guido! Fits right with some of my books!

Just thought I'd let you guys know, posting some images online. If you'd like, share with me your blog or website and I'll add it to my list.

Thanks
