Washi tape and painted envelopes, lovely!…

A nice batch arrived from the USA this morning, 

nice postcards with cat, column, circles and  flower postage :-)…

A great little book from Karen Champlin, thank you very much!!…

I am always looking forward to Karen's envelopes. It's a gift every time. I got two of them last week, with card and arty slides, and very sweet messages. The card is a photo of relatives, as she explains on the back of it. Tightly surrounded by a protective white line, and looked after by an angel. The slides are great too, I particularly like the black and…

My home internet connectivity was having troubles of late.  The service technician came this morning to fix the problem (hurray!) so I am posting here several recent wonderful mail pieces that have arrived in my mailbox.

The magnificent Eduardo Cardosa sent some “Mind Bending” Paranormal Poste.  Enclosed: TWO great pieces! And I loved them both… one a minimalist deconstruction of Roman letter character(s).  Several serif appendages line up to create a new re-assembled…

June 14, 2011 - Within the last few days, Bifidus Jones (Minnesota, USA) blogged a new piece of mail-art by Karen Champlin entitled "The Nascent…

The postal service in Decatur, Georgia, delivered a gift of the mind and soul from Karen Camplin in Highland Park, Illinois. It is from Karen that I receive the first "enveloped" mail art, which adds an entirely new dimension to mail art for me! Layered visual communication!

Well, it feels good to have our jaunt northward and into the wilds of Longmont for the latest surprise from none other than Karen Champlin, a wonderfully gifted ATC artist.

WOW! What can I say?

See for yourself!
