New mail art from Erni Baer from Hamburg, I love his new superhero-style! And he has quadruplified himself, great!!

Inside one of Erni's great collages:…

Okay, Jon Foster sent one of his great tape transfer cards: "We are all here at school". The challenge comes with the backside, he just wrote "Straße 9" , that would be "road 9" - but hats off! The card made it, - maybe the postal guys already think "this looks weird, has to be for this Svenja"... Thanks Jon, it's great and funny!…

Marie Wintzer send this along with my certificate for the participation in the MinXus Solar Festival. I'm honored. Isn't it extraterristic beautiful??…

I don't know where on earth she is - but isn't this a classic Vizma??

Thanks a lot!

Last week I mistook the art charms for the trashpo buttons! But now they arrived, supercool. Thanks Stephanie, Diane and Claire - more than cool. 

Frieder Speck sent this great drawing on a sandwich bag. Some of you might remember that I wondered what Frieder drawed when I received his last mail. Not this time! It's totally clear - clear as Kloßbrühe! It's awfully, unbelievable hot here in Germany and Frieder is cooling down his feet! Love it!!…

Cheryl Penn sent this fantastic book to me, it's part of the myth of the Bhubesi women, 

I do love it, intimidating beauty (- and very special smell!). Thanks a lot lot lot, Cheryl!!

See everything …

The Most Amazing Art Charms from Stephanie arrived here today! I do do do love them!! …

One of Nadine's super-creatures is chewing bubble gums and kicking asses. Love them! Thank you, Nadine (yes, my linocut).

Thank you, Angie, love the card!!!

I love Thorma Cauli's style, cool!

Erni sent this wonderful package in remembrance of Wolfgang Neuss, famous German artist and cabaret artist (don't know if that is the right word, maybe Erni can tell more).  …

Poor donkey from Finland! You all know who sent this!!

Thank you, Carina!

Thank you, Katerina, great!…

Heinz Gruenwald had to tell me that due to a budget shortfall my (clandestine) application for a SWMAI was rejected :-(( I can not really understand where the priorities of the chamber of commerce were set, - but I think I have to accept it. (And who is Heinz Gruenwald?? A new mail art friend?? supergreat, I'm still laughing here)…

I don't know who sent this great postcard - is it David Stafford again? No, it's not his handwriting and no drawings. Look at the reverse side: 

There is a name "Wiley Coyote" on the right fringe, which isn't in the…

Look who arrived here after a long travel from Old Orchard Beach to Heidelberg! Nancy sent this slow owl (say that ten times!) ages ago. I love it and I'm laughing about it. It has everything good mail art needs: eyes, rust, fringes.…

Nancy Bell Scott! Unbelivable!!

Nancy wrote that she put this together by gathering ephemera in her study during an hour, punching a hole in it and putting a rope through it. Supergreat one-hour-art, Nancy, I LOVE…

Diane Keys sent this trashboekie with a theme: beast, animals, goats, lions, catfish - hard to believe what she creates out of trash. Thank you, Diane, that's very special for the animal-loving Svenja!!…
