With lyrics from a Joni Mitchell song. Very cool!

I have to be honest, Carina's envelope is just pristine. WONDER WOMAN!!!!

That is one impeccable photo transfer! This is the "Rules of Trashpo" Study well.…

Do you suffer from too much claim in your daily life?  Does it snow so much that you can't even open your front door to buy an envelope?  Do reindeer stroll by your windows looking for food?  If not, you need Mail Art.

A real fun card with lots of messages.  Happy New Year…

In FinLand the New Year starts in the dark, and it continues that way until June.  I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!"   But wait, there is a bright side to this story.

Carina hit the bulls eye with this 'mind and body combo'. Love how she combined classical with contemporary. "...Both sides now, it's life's illusions I recall.." Hope the details on this piece can be seen in the photo. Thank you Carina. …

FromCarina, a fantastic digital photo transfer that I think reflects pretty much how many of us react when placed in a black-and-white prescribed room of the everyday and we let our visions and fantasy become the guiding influence in our lives. Thanks Carina!…

What a wonderful surprise to receive a Boekie (14 pages in total) from Carina which came in a Mr. Rain envelope.

       As I understand it, somewhere in the deep jungle of Finland there was a dragon who ate skiers.  One day the dragon met one of the ABBA singers (I think it was the blonde one), and they were happy together until they went on a ski trip.…

This is a sea symphony book cover for an add 'n pass boekie that originated in California, rocky cliffs!

Interesting vintage pages with prints and drawings,

originally from Lee Goldberg in California:…

TV Noise...it's everywhere!!!

and the latest, Over-Powered. I always smile when they say Finland, thanks lots Carina! :)…

A beautiful card from Carina made my heart skip a beat. It is a photo transfer - I am still mystified as to how this is done - and a wonderful juxtaposition of what looks like a Chinese factory worker making what - orange rugs? opposed to a bunch of white men in suits in what could be courtroom. They are looking at something or somebody outside the frame. I…

Folks, I am happy to announce that Trash Bubbles are making a splash in the world!

When I first began creating these self-contained ecospheres of trash for my…

A+ Carina.  This one is stamped 'ERASURE VALLEY REGIONAL LIBRARY'. Eraser not needed on this one. Carina style at its finest. Thanks Carina.

p.s. Carina drew little broccoli florets on the back side.

Oh yes I remember you.  You were the first skiier that Carina sent me.  And now you are here again with all your friends.  One can never have too many skiiers on Mail Art.   For those of you who did not go the Finnishing school, the cartoon says: "inch by inch they penetrate the valley"  "just quietly…

I thought about hijacking at DK's blog, but let's make it a "C-Day" with three blogs for Carina's great mail art.

Wonderful envelope arrived in Greece today, and also fantastic contents!

For today and everyday: Seize the Day! Carpe…

This is a wonderful painting, postcard size, by Kerri Pullo. A true work of art. Thank you, Kerri!

'Always like the "signature" stamp, too...great red and vibrant background:…

Carina Granlund almost claimed that this is one: 

Her transfer tragedy is WAY less tragic than the one I sent her in our trade. This thing is unwittingly masterful, and I love it. Well, she did admit to me privately that maybe the white paint ended up helping.

Here is her note on the other side, which is included mainly because there IS a mistake in it, in the…

At first I didn't know how to take this card.  A man with two women in his arms, and a warning at my own risk.  I thought; "What does Carina take me for, two women at the same time, and blondles none the less?"

And a stiff warning to boot!…
