"Please don't run away. I mean you no harm"

Claudia's figures always have inner dialogues with themselves or their surroundings, very thoughtful and funny! This is a another great work by Claudia, thank you so much!

Cheryl sent me a piece of her beautiful painting, still with the scent of oil paint! It has been a chop day in Cheryl's studio.. and I fantasize up a picture how a chop day might look like, it's not as hard as Cheryl has written a note (poem)..…

Theresa Ann Williams sent this card of a little bird she found in her driveway, it's part of her "little things" mail art call. I have to admit I can't really see the little bird, but the picture is beautiful.

What do you think it is? 

He wrote that it is a bat and asked if I could find it. I had to admit I see only pieces of bat, and he has left me to ponder the secret of this piece, as he is wont to do. Very beautiful envelope, too, which Frieder is famous for: …

(Scanner freaks out at transparent neon, darn it.) Thank you very much, Carina!

Theresa's poignant "small things"…

This piece was a thrill to find in the envelope--colors, text, use of paint, all aspects of Diane's work that I love: 

There are some DKult lessons in the beauteous trashbook below, including topics such as cooperation, courtesy, all the things in which I'm terribly deficient, so it's great that Diane sent this to me:…

Jill was new and I fear we've lost her already. :--{   Thank you for these, Jill, and I hope you come…

This is a most appealing collage, tpurk, thank you--and from another member hailing from Seattle!

Lynn writes that she is fond of repurposing the beautiful packaging from consumer goods, and this piece includes "Tim Holtz and the art from a reproduction ad calendar." This is very nice, thanks so much, Lynn ~
