GOTIJ "ETHER" from Marie Wintzer in Japan
Yes, today, Tuesday was a GOOD Mail Art Day at Glinou 20!
(Note that postage stamps had fallen off, too slick was the paper? But my post gal kept them in her hand and delivered them to me along with the mail art from Marie...thus NO postage-due ;-)
Well, for sure, Marie sends amazing hand-crafted envelopes of fine Japanese...ads.
And while she…

Rainbow Vispo from John M. Bennett...and blue too!
A great package of vispo boekies and other art from John M. Bennett arrived in Greece on Tuesday
but I am finally able to blog today. One wants to take time to "read" and view the art of JMB, slowly and carefully.
