The eyes, the hair, that bow tie - it just works so well. I love it. Thanks Amy. This one's a real gem. 

and thank you for keeping me supplied with little blue birds! Love 'em. 

A glimpse inside David Stafford's mind - I do like what I see...…

Finnbadger was (totally) inspired by a typo...

Katerina has sent wonderful bird bunting and here it is decorating my desk where I work make stuff. Thank you - I love it! And only yesterday I favourited your TLP Meeting Notes and today one such pamphlet arrives. Is the greek post awesome or are you…

poise and elegance

What can I say? This beautiful copper-wire nest arrived

safely nestled in tissue, travelling all the way from Crozet, Virginia 

to London, England. Big thanks to the maker, Diana Hale (of Philpott 

Lake Project fame). It is completely generous and delightful. Diana suggests

it should find a home in a tree so that nature can work on…

a suitably birdy card from babs bird to stripygoose. I'm a little worried about the guy with the tophat and pointy stick as he looks very disapproving...  great card! Thanks babs bird. Keep sharing the art :>)

A drawing (I really get those hunched shoulders from that sketch), cartoon (an original no-less) and a little book that I need to blog separately I think, so hang on a mo. Thank you Martha - your mailings are always a treat. See you soon in the post or perhaps in…

Striking bird tangle - thank you Heleen. 

Isn't this gorgeous? Thank you Tiffany :>)

or is it a canary? either way as Feynman said... "You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts..."

Anyway, thank you Gail for the collage which I like very much, especially the collection of bird stamps. See you soon in the post, my friend! …

...peaceful, muted colours on this textile mailart from Lorella - thank you. It's delightful!

Coupons (designed keri smith) received from elena hoang (mailartists and ace-quiller) - thank you elena. There's a lot of wisdom on this card and alsoa very nice watercolour on the other side :>)
