This is my very first mail from Russia, and it is sent by Natalya Korolkova (aka Ntk at IUOMA). Yamal is a peninsula of North Siberia, and in the language of its indigenous inhabitants, the Nenets, it means "End of the World". I can't even begin to imagine how cold it is up there, and what kind of life it is to travel the roads with reindeer all year…

Nice finger clouds on deep blue sky and linear prairie from Theo Nelson. He also made great use of the stamp sheet, I really like the layout of the back of the card. And such a beautiful handwriting.... Thank you Theo!…

I received this very nice piece of photo-poetry from Natercia Tomé. I believe she is not a member of IUOMA but she has a great collection of cards on her blog les folles enveloppes. She also has an ongoing mail art call about windows, so if you are a window aficionado you can send her your favorite one. I really like her choice of (her own) photos for this card, conceptual and leaving a lot to the imagination.
Thank you…

This is another card that really touched me. I didn't know Thom before, I think he is new at IUOMA, and he didn't know me either, but he took the time to make a card and write very sweet and heartwarming words. What a nice way to introduce oneself, really. Thank you so much Thom, I hope you'll have fun at IUOMA. I'm sure you will...…

What a fluffy ball of fur this Daisy, so cute! Angie, I don't know what you're talking about, she doesn't look a thing like a monkey :-)) I was wondering, does she have special skills like Snooker the amazing mail art dog? Is she also a canis scannus? This soft nuzzle is oh so welcome, thank you so much Angie!
(sorry for this unnecessarily dusty scan)

New cards from Atte, and I'm still at a loss. Have been scratching my head all day :-)) Thanks for playing the game Atte!

Today I met Val's cats, Bianca and Trouble. Or at least I think those are Val's cats. Yes, they must be his cats... The postcard is quite cool, I have no idea which technique he used, it's hard to tell, but I like it. The back of the card comes with a drawing of a very blasé looking cat, in a very cosy looking home :-)) Great one, Val, thank you!

A message of hope from Elizabeth. Here too, spring is any day now. The much awaited cherry blossom season is kicking off, but it doesn't feel the same this year. Bitter sweet....
Her artistamp collection is pretty cool too. Rhoda knows... Thank you Elizabeth!

This blog post has no immediate effect on your health.
If I hear or read " X or Y has no immediate effect on your health" one more time my head will explode. Seriously. With immediate and irrevocable effects on health.
OK, enough ranting :-))
This is the last card I got before the earthquake and didn't have time to blog. Bifidus's cards are always a perfect blend of humor and aesthetics, I haven't seen a work by him that wasn't special. This one is no exception…

Hello my friends. I am desperately trying to get back to some kind of normality (utopia, I know)... I will soon go back to Tokyo, brace myself and cross all the fingers I can cross.
I miss blogging and visiting your pages, and although I still don't have the energy to be there full time, I would like to slowly get back on tracks.
There are a couple of cards I got before pandemonium struck, and Val's is one of them. A communism potpourri postcard, with special comrade salute…

I received this very cool collaged postcard from Amazon59. Apparently, we live in the same state. I don't usually run into folks who live nearby in the mail art world. Kathleen also used a bunch of old stamps, which added to the fun look of the…

RCBz is always aware of what is happening in Japan, I don't know how many people know that there is an ongoing sumo scandal. I am not breaking any news when I say that sumo is an institution in this island. It has already had its fair share of scandals, but this one, with sumo fighters publicly admitting to fixing matches, has left the country profoundly shocked and embarrassed. It has also left RCBz very disappointed :-) (see the back of the card).
This is once again a very complex…

What are rabbits up to in their spare time? For all I know they might be tap dancing, but today Lisa is revealing another one of their favorite activities with this postcard: shadow hands (literally)! Unbelievably cute and funny :-))
4079 refers to the year 2011 according to the Lunar Calendar. Oh yes, it is that late already...
Thank you very much Lisa, this is a…
