Nadine sent me this last week and I fired off a reply as the Mail Art Assisted Living Facility is a notion that's dear to my heart. (I have a feeling that the crayons will be stubby and not cover the full range of colors). As usual Nadine's piece bears an underlying commentary. In this instance, about the irrepressible optimism of the Jung Social Worker. I hope Nadine…

This is the way all class photos should look and they should all include warnings about Darci Bush who by all accounts has grown up to be a perfectly normal person (the suits advised me to add this). Lotta work went into this one.  As well as riotous color, lots of detail and the signature touch: the price tag, as Stephanie looks ahead to her eBay years. Thank you, Stephanie. I predict a warm reception for this piece. …

i consider myself very lucky to have found this in the post - and check out the envelope too - thank you Jill :>)

Morning dear IUOMA-ites! I received this lovely piece in the post yesterday, but I have no idea who it's from. Can someone help me identify the artist, so that I can thank them properly?

The stamps are Russian, and there is a return address on the envelope, but I can't read it!

Help! ;)…

Look who arrived here after a long travel from Old Orchard Beach to Heidelberg! Nancy sent this slow owl (say that ten times!) ages ago. I love it and I'm laughing about it. It has everything good mail art needs: eyes, rust, fringes.…

This is beautiful. It is number one of a series of two monotypes, created by Michalis Kotsaris. I am really curious about the technique. The paper is handmade, I guess. Thank you, Michalis.

About 200 cards have been distributed for the Millennia Mail Art Project.  There is one last batch left.  If you haven’t gotten one and want to participate, send me a message (via my website) and these will be mailed out on a first-come-first-serve basis.  Learn about the project here.

Ok I joined and got swamped and over whelmed with many things.  In the last two weeks I have been watching art documentaries and getting in touch with my creative side again.   I went to the post office today and bought some new envelops to use as my canvas and will start sending out some mail to those I have recieved from first and then I will begin to participate with the rest of the…

Katerina asked why my birthday is not on the IUOMA birthday "list" and I have no answer for that, other than, I never knew where or how to do that. But today is MY day, or at least for me it is. I've been swimming in a salt water pool this morning, and had coffee and a blueberry scone in my own back yard, and am going to post images of some of my favorite things on my blogger blog. What a day, so far. How's YOUR day going?

Any one else with a 2 July birthday?

(from Richmond,…

Straight outta the mean streets of Heidelberg comes Svenja's Mail Art Nuns and Running Man with Camel. Svenja, like so many others, has sent me two (2) things before I could even blog one....(insert sound of smitten brow here). I love Svenja's wrap around technique and I'm going to try it soon. I can hear those national geographic maps a callin' me. I will need some help deciphering the text here, Svenja as my German (like my French) is limited to Woe est der toiletten. …

Another exhibit from the museum of small things by curator Theresa Williams. Weaving a story around an old Cracked card that depicts Brooklyn of long ago, Theresa reimagines the scene as it might unfold with the current residents of the contemporary epicenter of the hipness. I don’t envy Jimmy in his wonderment. Thank you, Theresa.

A small story:…

This small postcard reached me yesterday....not sure what to do with it...is it an Add n Pass? or just a hello!

if it is and Add n Pass, please let me know the originator so it gets back to them once it's been in the wind a while...

thanks…

A fantastic piece from Roberto....Very cool texture with the brown paper bag background *!* and.....an AP originated from Tofu with adds from Roberto so far...mine will be Layer 3, so will post when I finish with it...…
