Spring-time Mailart finally Blossoming as a Blogpost in Summer-time

Katerina Nikoltsou sent me *bright* flower collages this past spring... and here I am posting them in the waning days of summer!  It certainly has been a prolific spring (AND summer) full of happy flora this year...

The nice thing about Kat's flowers are that they won't ever wilt or shrivel...I'll be able to enjoy them in spring, summer, fall, or even winter!…

Athena in Pink

Latest correspondence from MomKat. I actually LOVE that Athena rubber stamp...perfect for Kat in her Grecian haven/heaven.  Great wide-size wash tape, too...it's always good to spread a little "L-O-V-E" around!

This piece also includes some selvage/selvege...a new vocabulary word for me that Kat recently helped decipher and add to my noggin's…

A Window [Envelope] to the Stars

The best up-cycling I've seen in a long time! A business envelope turned inside-out to show its confidentiality pattern on the outside, with the envelope window revealing a peek at the delicious contents inside...…

Leap Day Special Deliveries

I received several mail art pieces either postmarked or celebrating "Leap Day" in 2016—that is, February 29th, which only comes around once every four years...

From MomKat in Greece, a hand-drawn, collaged, hand-stamped reminder that time sails away...…

We where there (in Paris)

Some people asked me where MomKat and I created mail art last month.

Here's the answer. When you stand in front of this building (my favourite building in Paris), and then turn to the right...

... behind that crowd, on the left from the bassin, you can see Momkat and Edmund already sitting waiting (I was late, as usual, this time due to making pictures of…

Birthday manias from Kat: Giacometti and Rauschenberg

Just two of the numerous wonderful birthday commemorations from Katerina Nikoltsou (momkat) recently: 

She's so thoughtful, remembering Rauschenberg is a favorite, and no doubt she has done that many times over for IUOMA members this year. Thank You for…

from Jasper Johns and Katerina

Kat has been active in Guido Vermeulen's great group this year that celebrates birthdays: IUOMA, loved ones, composers and other artists...i.e., anyone and anything you want.

Johns always catches my attention, because of his complicated relationship with my man Robert Rauschenberg and because he is Jasper Johns, whose work is never dull and much studied. Katerina sent…

Cans On Blue, from Katerina Nikoltsou

This is the second time Katerina has stitched a found can to a K.N. blue painting, but this time we have 3 at once:  There the piece is, now on a wall, as it arrived in a large envelope. Katerina may have thought I'd want to cut the cans free and eventually do something else with them, but this is a work of art unto itself from Kat.'s own mail-art sensibility, and I love it. It…

Absolutely smashing crushed can from Katerina Nikoltsou

This is in the top of the line of the Old Orchard Beach collection: 

Yes, Katerina found this elegantly and thoroughly crushed can, and stitched it to a beautiful card she arted. I was ecstatic to receive this--it's like no other and has much soul. She…

Rusty lid from Greece, YES!

Katerina found and sent me this great rusty can lid:  It's a beaut. It's a young one--probably hasn't reached adolescence yet--so its rusty and rusting journey through life has a marvelous freshness along with the telltale signs of time and exposure.

Does Katerina send only the lid? Noooo. She made a (blue) art card incorporating her own originally designed rusty-can-lid…

Ahmet Demir's Marilyn envelopes via the faithful Katerina Nikoltsou

Each envelope is really interesting by itself, too. In fact the first impression was that these were abstracts by Katerina herself:  Very thoughtful of Katerina, as I'd admired Ahmet's Marilyn and still do. But Katerina didn't send these empty. She never would! Each contained a very nice blue (!!) card from her: …

A favorite from Katerina: blue sticks

Katerina Nikoltsou is so prolific, and so generous, that she is beyond amazing. Her blue art in the mailbox is always a sight for sore eyes, but this one stole my heart specially and immediately:

Why? I have no idea. The crookedness? The dots? The pick-up sticks feeling even though they look to be in nature? I just love it, and it was love at first sight. Thank you…

Katerina Nikoltsou sends UFOs via PO, plus collage materials from Greece

The UFOs floating around in blue are a riot: 

Gave me such a kick, Kat!

Collage materials, including a great squashed and rusty Buckler bottle cap plus numerous tiny paintings by Katerina, arrived via a tiny box in an envelope. She seemed quite surprised that it got here, and I'm just glad it did. Thank you as ever, dear Katerina ~ …
