Wonderful postcard from Jim SantAmour, I love the old pictures he uses for his art!

I received this great manifesto from Lisa, Skybridge Studios, I thought it was super when I first read it in someone else's blog (sorry, just couldn't find it anymore!). Now I have a copy of my own to put on the wall...

Lisa send a clever piece of art with the manifesto - nobody could possibly call this cheap art: …

A few month ago I sent a card with "Mein Auto" printed on it to Sally Wurlitzer, now this wonderful postcard came in return. I love the texture of it. Sally wrote about "joss paper" she put on it, - finally I know what joss paper is. It feels great. Thanks a lot, Sally, I like it veryveryvery…

This wonderful masterpiece (is that a word?) from Marie Wintzer arrived here, the red thread tells us everything about the sender, doesn't it? The japanese paper has a really great texture and I love the fine, fragile character of the whole card ...…

I received this wonderful card from Angie and Snooky, I love the different patterns and colours, and I immediately had to laugh when I saw it - it's a "feel good, smile, be happy"-card. Thanks a lot, Angie (and Snooky)!!

Nancy sent me one of her wonderful paintings. She wrote elsewhere that they are made with ink and a bamboo pen or a piece of broken glass. She wrote "New creatures for you, Svenja" on the reverse side - so we have to look for the creatures in the painting. Ultra-wonderful-super-work, Nancy, thanks a lot!!  …

 I received this wonderful painting from "E", it's great! And I'm honored to get this "Certificat de proprietè mail artistique" - very official and special!!…

Great card from Kerri Pullo, I favorited it, and Kerri was so kind to send it to me. The texture is great, it feels like a piece of wood. FAB!! Thank you, Kerri!

Karen Champlin, Art Nation, sent this fab work: It's a rather small, but thick piece of cardboard - wonderful! I had to fetch it at the Heidelberg courthouse and had to open it to prove that there is no invoice included. The clerk wanted to know what it is worth, and she was lauging when I told her, that it meant a lot to me, but was really just…

A surprise in the mailbox: Fabulous mail art from Nuno and Nela from Nottingham, England. It's great. Love the stitched cut:

As an application for my creature of the month contest Nancy Bell Scott sent me this wonderful book cover with two truly beautiful beasts. I searched for the  translation for this kind of dog and found "wiener dog" or "sausage dog" - funny. I really love this piece, can't really describe its presence but it is old and wonderful and as a book loving person it's very…
