Amy Kiessling's contribution to the Wreck This Journal (by US Postal Mail!) arrived this week and it's wild, energetic, bright, creative and cool!

On page 50 she uses staples, string, 4 colors of washi tape, tiny golden arrow tape, domestic mail labels with thick black marker graffiti, a hole punch and (hand carved?) rubber stamps of a spiral,…

Another wonderful piece from Amy.   I think I always said, Amy has the eye.  What I great sense of balance.

Thank you Amy.

OH yes, this is why I love Mail Art.  It's the little gems…

Two is the lonliest number since the number one. Well to tell you the truth Amy, my neck of the woods is a bit strange right now.  I wish I would have…

Amy bats a homerun with this one.  Wonderful texture that doesn't show up too well on the scan.  Just take my word for it, this piece has a great feeling.  And yes, that is a whole star, I mean star hole, or star punch hole.…

A nice little card from Amy to say thank you for the London group card we sent her.

Thank you Amy, but I will have to disqualify this mail art piece.  I don't think we really say the "B" word.

But is surely made me smile.

I had entitled this one "D", but Amy had another idea in mind.  I like Amy's aspects of Man Woman and machine.  Thread and no thread, and a sense of "Don't thread on me" (The American flag of 1775).  You have come a long way and Betsy Ross would be proud of you Amy.

Yes, Amy's sewing machine has been…

Titled: The sea rushes to me.  Amy has woken up from that cold winter and is on a Summer roll.   Wonderful Amy, this is simply wonderful.

Not to mention that living in Minnesota, the sea has a long way to rush.

And in the same hand made sewn envelope I found…

Lovely mail-art came in last week with some actions needed on my part.

Stray Cats have nine lives, but if they stray too far, they end up on Mail Art.

Thank you…

Last week this appeared, I've seen an envelope quite like it.

Inside revealed to be 3 ATCs on of them used the dye handmade paper I've sent in other mailart to her.

Distress Stains are great to use but due random nature it can be difficult to…

A lovely return to an all time classic.  Remember when people had real books and marked the pages so they knew where they left off?  Well Amy sent off this little gem in an amazing envelope as well.  I really have to get that sewing machine out of the back room.

Look at the texture of this beauty, it's great and fun to touch.  And no, those are not Amy's blue…
