Wednesday 16 november: my first mail art arrived!

A wonderful envelope, painted in beautiful shapes and colours!

Inside this piece of art a poem, Guido Vermeulen made for me, after he had seen the video of my paintings

with the music of Debussy.

Thank you so much, Guido!…

If mail art came in a candy sack, I would be dragging my haul along the ground back to my lair so I could roll around in all my sweets!  As it is, I got some really SWEET mail art in celebration of All Hallow's Eve--the day that marks the thinnest veil between this world and the other where our forebears ethereally mingle. Just look at this stash:

Guido's "The Work of a Lifetime":

The title could be interpreted in multiple ways, like probably many of Guido's art envelopes.

I think this is wild and wonderful:

I have been admiring them, Guido, and am really thrilled with this beaut: What luck, and not only that: Guido included a photo of a piece he received from Catherine Petre. Catherine's piece is one I saw among Guido's photos here and liked so much that I favorited it!  Did you know that, Guido??  Or was this an amazing coincidence?  In any case, Thank You!  Photo is below.  (And…
