This is the "front" of the postcard -- the image on it fascinates me. Tall-hat people with long skirts and conical straw houses, playing ice hockey. Hmmm. It's not Oregon and I don't think it's Carbondale, either. But the real treat is I told Richard he might be…

Wonderful comment on our food industry, I'd say. The red background is sort of darkly creepy and somehow cheerful all at the same time -- Amerika the Beeyoutifull! Or maybe it's just that I watched Mulholland Drive last night and David Lynch is still hovering around my tired old consciousness. Anyway, I love this card and would love to know how you got the corn and cow images…

Wow, isn't this amazing? The piece with the black squares looks woven but it's not--the colored squares a glued on -- I would make such a mess if I tried that! The upper left ATC is a complete jam that I started, William M., and Fleur added to. William added the guy leaning over, Fleur added an orange star, a butterfly, a mushroom, and a strawberry! And the little valentine…

Wow, beautiful ATC's from Ruth, of course they don't show up nearly as sparkly as they are for real. The combination of colors, shapes, and text on these is really fascinating. Then, because I'm completely ignorant, I had to look up the "Stay gold" and S.E. Hinton. I've never read "The Outsiders" so I guess I need to do that. And the "Stay gold, Ponyboy" quote comes from…

Pinkie has a new skirt, although I had to Google the original to tell. I love the butterfly and the text -- inexpressive girlishness indeed! Thanks Sheri!

Coincidental reds from Judy Staroscik and Jan Hodgman. Judy's card (top) is beautifully textured with different kinds of paper layered with text and even some bits of barely woven orange thread within a circle. Jan's welcomes me to "Blue Rondo" which she says can double for orange lovers! She's doing the Mailart 365 and this card was #8. Beautiful, both of…

Happy New Year everyone!  For this first blog post of 2017 here is an impressive accordion book from Dean Marks.  It contains all sorts of surprising objects such an enamelled earring, buttons, an electronic circuit, a cd, stamps from all over the world, a…
