Received this week from Penny Reineke a great asemic card, a lighthouse card and a really cool doodled envelope!

Have to look out something special to send back.

Not Add/Pass, but something to be treasured, 

lovely pages, French and "found" poetry...…

It is quite small, came with a FluXus buck, too:

very nicely done:…

Fantastic snail print arrived some time ago in Greece!

On wonderfully textured paper,

Here is a lovely BLUE card that Diane sent!

Her project seems to slowly and surely be coming to completion.…

I must admit that I choked up a bit when I received my first completed Add and Pass. A heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone who contributed along the way.

The add and pass was made up of envelopes I had received from fellow mail artists. It was rather delicate but along the way, people added and made it sturdy.…

Cut paper flowers  from Mike Parsons.

And if you've exchanged art with Mike you know they are different than his usual oeuvre.…

Yesterday I received this wonderful set of artistamps by Diana Hale.

I must say they are great and the entire concept is so classy.

I just love them, thanks Diana!

It saddens me that Volkswagen has decided to cease production of the Beetle. I have lived in San Francisco for nearly 30 years without owning a car.  But I have fond memories of zipping around in that orange, 1973, VW Super Beetle during college.  That car was so fast.  I actually have dreams where I still drive that car.  After a trip to Europe, I plastered the back of the car with stickers in various languages, mostly…

This small but lovely piece came from Norma Soulet last week, in honor of the 4th of July.  I spent the weekend having fun, which is what its all about, right?.  SO now I'd like to share this bold image.  .  

A lovely piece of art, with a magazine  article.  I don't read (or speak) Italian, but I believe the article is about the inventor of the hexagonal pencil: Ebenezer Wood.    The two pencils on the left  are little tiny pencils.  Its amazing how something as mundane as pencils can be new from a different perspective.…

Mail art by Cor Reijn (Zaandam, Netherlands)

July 10, 2019 - I was elated to receive this wonderful card from good mail art friend – Cor Reijn – in the Netherlands. With this elegant and highly conceptual piece, Cor Reijn expresses an issue that I am confident many are pondering at this moment. (Yet no one before has been able to express it so perfectly!) Thank you Cor Reijn.

I believe the question is…

Working through my pile I found the great assemblage of artistamps from Adam Roussopoulos.…

Kathy gives plenty of warning before I open the envelope- Its so cool the way she coordinates the whole package each time.  The birthday cake is a great touch. Of course I took no heed of the clear warnings.  Love the way the…

I love the variety of cool stuff that shows up in my mail.  This time I received two books on the same day.  They are so cool, so different, and so hard to document: can't slap these babies in the scanner.  Thank you both!  Rani Goel for the book with great tips-in in the pocket and Debra Mulnick for sewn (hand and machine) paper and cloth artwork enclosed in a vintage photo folder.…
