I love Blog Jammin' and I love the "blues"! Well, actually, ALL the colors and designs are fantasic,lots of

great mail art in my new mail box :-) Thom Courcelle sent this fascinating BLUE-print envelope,

and the contents with Ray bunny is amazing, too! thanks, Thom xxx…

Dean loves to play with words, and taking the twisted roads of language back and forth between French and English is even more fun. He knows how to build a story around the most (apparently) insignificant comment that comes up on a blog. So he knows that crêpes suzette only make me moderately homesick and that it is cheese (and alsacian Munster cheese in…

Poor Greek Soldier...how to survive the postal system dressed in a skirt? (It's NOT a "skirt" it's a "foustenella")

Tears of laughter!!!

So you send a collage...poorly pasted and expect NOT to have a leg ripped off?…

Dean went MAD, and so went the bar codes. Lucky them. He says he made this card during a flight. I'm wondering, what does he bring on board? Does he collect all the bar codes beforehand and then assembles them in flight? Or does he carry piles of... what exactly, I can't even figure out where they come from and he won't tell. They look so nicely similar and…

A bit scary? No, although the postgal came close to losing a finger or two.

How did Dean know that I am the daughter of a carpenter?

In order to see what is going on here...I picked up the hammer and saw!

Real metal cutting…

Oh, yes, the postgal was very happy to see this mail art piece, though I don't think she really knew what the "base" was? The dude is just too distracting, yes? Could it be a portrait of Dean Marks? Oh, yes!

And then again, on the other…

I don't even know where to start to explain the geniusness of this piece. First of all, although hard to tell from the picture, it is completely en relief, 3D and everything, and shipped as it is without envelope. Dean got the idea for this after a comment on one of his blogs where I said that I was not a poulet de printemps anymore (direct…

On the way to Paris? Tickets ready?

There was a IUOMA mail artists' meeting in Paris this past weekend,

but a couple of us, while we had plans and tickets, didn't make it.We all made mail art though!

Valentine Mark Herman was to travel from southern France to Paris, train tickets ready, but cancelled:…

How did he do it? We thought he went simply to quietly celebrate his 39th birthday:

Striking way to visit and come home from Mont Blanc, eh? Most original--the ice cube kills me--as we've come to expect from Dean. Thank you, Dean, this mystified…

Whoo Hooo!  At last one of Dean's fabulous Rubber Band Webs has graced my mailbox.  And what a delight it is.  Many thanks to you, Dean. 

It has everything a girl could want and lots more to ponder.  Like who ate that chocolate bar and was it delicious?  Did Dean eat it or was it the postman that delivered it to my house?  Who but Dean would think of combining a tiny book, a pin with a running man, an army tank, a shoe string and lots of ribber bands, into an object of mail…

This card wasn't signed. Is this from you Dean Marks? There is something about these banana people that makes me laugh. Maybe the guy in front needs another glass of wine. Thanks to whoever sent it.

Always a joy to see mail art from Dean Marks smashed into my litle mail box.(No.116 of 366)

(Well, the postgal loves to stuff the mail art in, even it it does not fit.)

Fortunately, Dean's cardboard "folded" nicely and was not…

Does anyone tire of yet another card from Dean Marks? NO!

(ning would not let me continue on one blog...so a new blog, just for Dean ;-)

An ENVELOPE...a card in an envelope...from Dean! Super fun ;-)

Great stamps,…

Yesterday, I received this funny birthday themed card from Dean Marks.  When I flipped it over to examine all of the interesting trivia, I noticed that Dean's upcoming birthday is cleverly intergrated (more than once) I may add.  The subliminal…

A wonderfully creative Christmas wish from Dean Marks. We loved your work(s) of toothpaste art. Thank you and hope you have a terrific 2012. 

Newman is an apt name here, because Dean has created a new man: Oh yes. And he did so not only by pasting Paul Newman's popcorn-package face on as the head, but also by cutting out individual popcorns from the package and using them for haptic happy pieces of popcorn in Leonardo da Vinci's (new) man's four hands as well as a fig leaf for the guy's "privates." It's about time,…

This cannot be easy. Dean collected multi-colored rubber bands...and then, "wove" them to create a great happy haptic mail art piece. A joy to the eye and to the touch, and plink-plinck...music to the ears, too!

I can use it as a harp and wander the…

More apparel, this from Dean Marks, sent un-enveloped from France: It was beyond smashing and hilarious to find this stiff red HAND in the mailbox yesterday. Somehow Dean made a cardboard cutout to fit this lovely Bordeaux-colored left-handed leather glove and got it in there, graced it with a large ruby-colored gem on the ring finger (gold band of ring is painted on and can…

What happens? The Eiffel Tower goes in a "bubble" on a mail art card and gets sent to Greece...almost

('would that it be of solid gold).…

First, Dean's claim that Barcodes Are Human Too: We've exchanged a few words on the barcode/human idea, but actually Dean convinced me with the art itself, as soon as it arrived. I love it and look forward to more of whatever Dean chooses to send. I like his…
