This one is very difficult to describe, I will have new discoveries for long time. Its a book full of faces, you have to discover slowly and keep the touch to the threads that seem to hold the book together. But its like a cave full of spiderwebs it makes you stay and watch, look, code to the next side.

 Great work, Thank you very much C…

Now something to find out for you!

Do you know this artist? Look at the fine lines the control of colour structure and haptic elements. See the letters vanish in the landscape of asemic poetry.

Who made this? The one who knowes first will receive some mailart!…

These weeks are very busy times so I am far behind in putting great letters in blog posts too share. I don´t know if I manage to post all of them but I will start: I received a wonderfull piece of art from Karin Greenwood, it made the long way from South Afrika. Thank you very much, Please turn your Monitor to see the beauty from the right side. (blogreading is too easy, so I have to make it more amitious). Thank you Ka!rin…

Yes, the title is so true.  Trashpo boekies are made with loving hands; by people who love to share.  They are unique, creative, tiny works of art.  Little bits of intriguing scraps, found, sorted, painted, and given a new life when the scraps are bound together.  There is mystery, drama, wonder, fun, and much more, to enjoy in these tiny booklets.  The paper/items included have come into the posession of the artists in random ways, but they are not randomly assembled.  They are prepared…

GOTIJ! In the mail box today, a beautiful piece of a masterpiece from Cheryl in South Africa.

Two-sided, one side with a photo image, perhaps of the "whole"?

and the other side: a piece of the masterpiece...painted on…

  A new mail art piece arrived today to TAKE1 Mail Art Call, the first project of the portuguese COMA collective.

"What's on your mind II", but I think it's "What's on your mind too", as what I am finding our about Carina, is that she is very clever, and being snowed in for 9 months of the year and seeing the Northern lights on a daily basis plays tricks on her mind ... too.

I had to look it over more than once as I really think that the skier looks like me, and I was wondering where she could have obtained a photo of me other than on that Rugby calander I posed for a few years ago.  Yes, ladies,…

Its a very dangerous business trying to smuggle arty-facts. You could wind up in a smelly prison-like-room without your own loo and a guard with a VERY large wart. So the best thing to do is send said articles as a belated birthday wish.  Somehow they buy that. Even if they're two years belated.

I know this because Dean was potting in his near vicinity and came…

This envelope had me doubled over laughing!! Read and weep with laughter, or wee, like I almost did! I don't kow how she finds the brilliant images, but she has a great radar for finding stuff that has me in stitches!!

Thanks Arac, I need to make a bigger shelf in my toilet to exhibit all of your potty…

I don't know if it because its the beginning of the year, or we're getting old-ER!!! Or its just serendipitous, but I had a rush on the subject of time.  David Stafford sent me a calendar which included some of the DeskTop images from an old project - well its not ttthhhhhaaaaat old! Pink Floyd - Ticking away the moments. That make up a dull day. Fritter and waste the hours. In an off-hand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground...…

First from Angie Cope, well, really from Snooky Dog...with crown.

I always get a smile from the postal gal when she hands me a "Snooky" card! Thank you, Angie  xxx

TiAr Raden sent the above card and greeting...mysterious foggy,…

Big envelope arrived today 27x18cm with a lovely artwork inside. My first one from Carina Granlund. She wrote that this piece is "an easy peasy technique in etching," and it was put in her graphic press. Nice one Carina. This has beautiful details, from stitching, drawing and kind of almost perforated dots.…

Two envelopes in one mail art! This is great!

So happy to get my first mail art from Oman! A collage with great illustrations and stamps. So much to look at,…

More incoming :-) - I think I'll begin with the one that isn't REALLY Mona Lisa - from David Stafford.  The contents of the envelope are the MOST wonderful calendar - but I'll blog that separately - this was on the envelope :-))!  OF COURSE I asked David for a Mona Lisa....!!

From TICTAC (Germany) - again, the quirky interpretation is just wonderful! - Dolly…

This piece speaks for itself. The hands and feet of the characters are fab too. The birdie has the perfect understated hand gesture to drive her point home.. Thank you very much Claudia.

Guido, your envelope was laying on the floor for its photo shoot when i noticed how it became part of it. This is a good thing. we spent 16+ hours on hands and knees staining the concrete. This probably doesn't mean anything to anyone, but it just looked great lying there. Thanks Guido.…

This is the second painted canvas I am receiving from Karen. I am really glad she found out about her talents as a painter, I think this new line of work is yet another excellent turn! Thank you for sending, Karen! And with two pieces I can already call it a…

This is my first card from Vizma, and I am absolutely thrilled. Kookaburra, you sure got me googling, Vizma. Just like the chimpanzee on your card, I am a very slow creature. And I very often cannot find things that are right in front of my eyes. True story! In any case, this a great collage. And the back of the card comes with plenty of interesting stamps and…
