Vivid dream about Bob last night who lived in the East End of London just around the time I was there back in the 80's. He was sitting in a sand pit making constructions out of bricks and twigs with the local kids.  I was taking photos of him and the sand pit. He said "Hey man, stop taking photos of me!" and I said "It's OK BOB it's not a real camera - just my fingers contorted into the shape of a camera for dream like purposes."  He seemed OK with that explaination.  His house was a slum…

Let's start with the mail-art I received from the Netherlands - Carien van Hest sent me a tiny book in a beautiful handmade envelope containing a poem by William Blake.

Thank you!…

Among other things this very attractive piece of art from Mail Art Martha. Thank you!

One fantastic label and one of the unsurpassed Bon-zines!

Thank you, Bonniediva

From Russia comes this "recycled" beauty.

Many are offended if their mail art is "chopped up",

along…

Always good to see Rod in the mail!
