Here is the most unusual, an experimental paper with wax, front and back: The texture of this thick waxy paper that still smells like wax is beyond description. I can only say that it's a grabber, the feel is like nothing else, and I touch it at least once a…

Do you remember the House on the Hill? The place where Cheryl's Dreams are taking place [Dream Series- The Beginning]? We had a peep through the curtains a few weeks ago, and saw a mysterious Shadow. Walking up the Hill again today…

This two-piece art from Marie wants to hang by its delicate threads: I know it does! yet haven't figured out yet how to do it well. And that's fine, because just holding it is enjoyable, and calls up many associations aside from the wonderful ways Marie uses text: there is also the swimming aspect in this work, and that movement is mesmerizing. I love it, as I do the book that…

This handsome mail art card is fantastic, I love it, along with the delightful booklets: I've seen some of Samuel's ultra-tiny fluxus and asemic books elsewhere, and coveted them.

Also enclosed is a [ ... ] cool add+pass envelope (I.D. credit: Lesley Magwood Fraser).  thank you for everything, I'm so pleased to have MA from you ~…

Lisa sent me what she calls one of the strangest MA she has ever made: …

Number 7:

I love this asemic cardboard booklet, an excellent piece. Thank you very much,…

Who knew? Just Nadine's envelope taught me a lot (and I'm upset that the hot dog really is a sausage). Inside was a great treasure, related due to the comment on history that the book's title announces. This book is at least part trashpo--or is it all trashpo?…

During the last months we have seen some of Cheryl's Dreams resurface. Most of them were wintery Nightmares, inhabited by blinded Pigs, haunted by Monsters of all kinds. This recent series is a continuation of it, but also a new start. We are clearly slipping into a warmer and less tormented season. Without ever leaving the Fantasy behind, of…

Trash books are undoubtedly the big thing right now. Nancy very kindly wanted to send me one, but she also knows that I am not that much into trashpo. What she managed to make here is a trash book that contains only treasures. I have to say, I was blown away by her work. Every page is absolutely exquisite. I can't even start listing all the textures, the…

Transgress

1. To go beyond or over (a limit or boundary); exceed or overstep

2. To act in violation of (the law, for example)



As far as the page is concerned, I think that Cheryl is transgressing it with every piece of art she is sending out. Guilty as charged. Her books never look like any other books that ever…

Finally done! My book containing all of Cheryl Penn's mail so far. One year! But it's full now, I have to think about the next one...

Beautifully asemic and exquisitely understated work:…

Katerina is truly the boss of all Sandpo. Her latest sandpaper (book cover, you can't see it on the photo) creation is one of the very first asemic trashpo bookies.

Sometimes you hold a book in your hands and you don't understand a word of it, and strangely, it makes it even better! 

Lesley is sending me this gorgeous little book based on Sir Gowain and the Green Knight, a 14th century poem relating the adventures of a knight of King Arthur's Round Table. 

I am copy-pasting a piece from Google because I…

Heart Matters so much that it needed a few additional boekies from Cheryl, and I am the VERY lucky owner of one of them! As Cheryl says, the more it Matters, the Better.

With ensuing Consequences.

Every time…

Lesley is sending me a wonderful bookie, her Heart Matters, which shows again all her talent of drawer and book artist.

The book can be flipped and viewed horizontally or vertically, depending on the page and your mood.

Lesley's Heart is a truly physical and palpable organ. Just like any other organ, it has its own physiology and rules, no way around…

You might have seen similar pieces by Cheryl on IUOMA blogs all around the world, but the thing is, each of those booklets is a truly unique piece of art. An exploration deep into the flow of ideas, an idea in its own right.
