Here's a Greek Dada Trashpo boekie MomKat started -- then I think it came to me and Heleen, then back to Mom, then finally to me. I don't think we can fit any more stuff on or it it, so it and all its lovely "omens" are staying in Oregon at least for a while. I…

A very small envelope, but with a big impact.

It was loaded with performance enhancing mail art; Inflatable hand (which we'll see again at a later time), a picture of Bruns (a speed-obsessed snail), a Tour de France souvenir stamp, the king of spades, and a…

A boekie which should never be opened in a public Library.

Was I second or third place?  It was all a bit stressful and it kept us at the edge of our seats.

And no, it doesn't stop yet.…

Much more recent is this called as Birch Leggings.

Two artist trading cards from her:…

As the next one I would like to show you the Birthday Bookie from Vizma Brūns

.I got it a long time ago, but since a while I was gone from here, I can say - better late than never. (Latvian saying: Labāk vēlu nekā nekad)

Birthday bookie cover:…

The thank you is a book in its own.  The bag starts here:

The story will make you cry.

The best is yet to come:…

Men are helpless fishes in Vizma's net.  A very funny piece of Mail Art indeed.

So what do wanders do with their corks?

Thank you Vizma.  Very cheeky of…

Over the Top, non?

And a message that just won't quit.

Well what can a guy…

The Vizma Fish book of schools.

Plenty of Fish in the Sea and hours in a day

Well as they in Jaws:…

A one-stop shop for mail viewing and a great way for me to catch up on some overdue blogging so I can have some mailart-making time :)))))))))))))))))))

An eye-popping bubble kissed collage from Angie sans Snooky, I'll bet he would've had something to say about that cat suit.

 …

The text is there, the photo is here, and it's time for a party!

Now if anyone understands this text, could you send me a translation in French.

Thank you Vizma, lots of smiles…

Quick light a match!  Very funny mail art from sister Hot Stuff herself.

Seeing this in the our letter box, I quickly ran out a purchased a few more fire extinguishers just in case.

Thank you Vizma, I enjoyed…

I can spot Vizmail straight away and I always start by kicking back and studying the stamped envelope before getting to the innards.  Is that a strange new hand stamp by my label I see?  I like it very much and I see your new Frida Kahlo's on here too.

the octoskellie with all his parts...nice! :)…

I'm very glad that there in IUOMA is such great and optimistic mailartist as she, especially if we speak in common language and we have common origin - latvian.

And now ... some words especially to you, Vizma! : Es jau sen esmu vēlējusies Tev atsūtīt atbildi, bet esmu bijusi šo laiku aizņemta ar studijām, kā arī - esmu ļoti lēns artists.:) Man vajag ilgu laiku, lai izdomātu ko un kā sūtīt konkrētam cilvēkam, jo parasti cenšos pieskaņot kautko attiecīgajai personai un savam…

What you see is what you get.  This had me laughing on the floor.  A drawing does say a thousand words ... or messages.  Arrives as is without an envelope.  The Postman now wants Vizma's telephone number!

OH yes, very clever to put two toilet paper rolls together.  Now that's thinking!  Or is it just dirty thoughts?…

First up from Elgin the awesome Interface Trashpo Collage from Diane.  It doesn't look like it even lost any bits along the way Diane. I have no idea how you always manage to make everything you touch so trashionable but pretty soon you may be on the run from the trashpoparazzi.  I'll be proud to say I knew her when...  ;) and I'll be proudly wearing my glittery D-KULT for Life…

You saw the photos, you read the blogs, but now the Mail Art is the real proof that Katerina & ViZma met up in Greece.  And the mixing was carefully controlled.   Katerina on the front and ViZma on the back, but then again it depends which side you pick up first.

Includes airline baggage tags, food ads and the receipt for a new swimming suit.  LOOK OUT…

In this little matchbox, resting on a bed of wool from her sheep I got this little snowman from Vizma

As I dug deeper I got the story of How the Snowman became an Arac....WOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!

She says it reminded her of The Monkees guitar and I totally agree.  Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!!!! I've been stamping it on everything around…

The bark is delicate and wonderfully soft (but with inner strength). To try to paint on it is most tempting. 

Lovely…
