Triple Jam ATC's by Fleur, Erin Young, and me

I love these ATC's. They are on super heavy card stock, thick with layers of paint, paper, and glue. Great texture. I just added a bit of poetry.

Gail Anderson's New Day Mail Art

The top piece is a wonderful, whimsical look at the new choices possible, right out in the open and under the sun. The bottom left is a card made from an old polaroid--looks like maybe a row of bus station or train station seats, very noir. And the happy Hello from Texas with the "Muleshoe" label from a pumpkin. And all this came in the same envelope Gail and I have been…

Blog Jam--Lynn Radford, Vikki Johnson, and Suzanne Jarvis

These three great cards, all "naked" -- Lynn Radford's "Magic Elixir" the perfect antidote for these times, and Vikki Johnson's "A Squirrel's Life" (with partying crow) looks like he is indulging in that very elixir, maybe too much of it! Below them is Suzanne Jarvis's "Whatever," an altered PC. When you look closely at it you can see that the elegant lady is posed against a…

Debra knows I like shiny things! You can't see it from the photo, but this card is made of colorful foil. Really pretty. And the other side is even better....

Back side has great hand-carved stamps, "Fluxus" ephemera, beautiful postage and eyes, eyes,…

JAD Media Bits and Sheri Rice fell into my mailbox today!

Two beautiful naked postcards, the top from J.A.D. Media Bits. He doesn't say where this photo was taken, I'm guessing San Francisco where he lives because it looks hilly. And Sheri's card is so lovely and peaceful. Thanks so much, both of you!

Poems from Richard C. -- and strange coincidences (or ARE they?)

So, just HOW did Richard know the postal service was going to "enhance" his poem, which reads "I'd stop trying to read this if I were you)." How did he know that it would be torn right through the words "stop" and "if"? Coincidence?

Then, ON THE DAY I GET CALLED FOR JURY DUTY, I receive this:…

In the Pink from Fleur

Wow, what soft pretty stripes--I really enjoy Fleur's wallpaper series. And she also sent me a fabulous bit of Oakland mosaic art she says is on a square trashcan at "The Cook and Her Farmer" there. Plus, a sweet little piece of wall art. Who knew Oakland was so full of art? Thanks Fleur!…

Big Batch of Goodies and a Beautiful Collage from Gretchen Brautigan

This is a hilarious collage from Gretchen--on the back it says "It all started with the stamp." I don't know if these two guys with the Hellmann's and the MiracleWhip are really the Mayo doctors but I love to think so. Great background paint, too. And then,…
