A lovely box from Dean Marks in Paris (France).

More detailed photos at:…

My first thought, upon seeing this package leaning against my doorjamb was, "Geez! Probably the art supplies I've been waiting for!" I envisioned a battle to claim damages and get the supplies replaced.

Never before, had I seen…

Yes Dean, I have tried. And am still late! Thank you for this great one, I'll get there . .…

Just wanted to give a shout out to Dean Marks, Mim Scalin and Angie Cope for the recent mail art found in my box. Not a lot of time these days to post blogs here, so I'm providing a link to my main blog:…

Snappy tells me that this was received in Canada, but something was missing.   Yes, in France we have lots of jokes about English food.  I never thought there was any truth to them until now.

Next time, I'll be ready.

So Snappy,…

I think this is the first X-Mas card I received this year. With Pre-Christmas-leftovers. Dean is somebody with foresight. Or hindsight? The card includes a reflection on how this Christmas card came together and - possibly - a…

Some time ago Dean and I had a discussion about a particular type of vintage tourist postcards, where an image of the place is placed within the letters of the name, which I like. Dean came up with the term "raised letters". And now he…

Two from Dean Marks, the first in Celebration of Banana Lover's Day

A child eating banana...WOWZA!!! And to think I didn't even know it was Banana Lover's Day. I'll definitely be marking my calendar August 27th so I don't miss it next year...August 27th  :)…

This has to be the best Mail Art I have ever received.  Wait a second, it's my mail art that I sent to Martha !  So let me get this straight.  One receives Mail Art, then makes it better and then sends it back to the person who sent it?  Maybe I should have increased the explosive charges when I had the chance!

    Of course what Martha has done here is to reply to all of my fire questions and statements.  And she did a great job of turning it around and making it funnier.…

Dean has sent me some mail-art while I was in France. Since there was a flea market coming up that weekend I though it was a perfect opportunity to get some good cash. I was sure of the success of this project, as the piece contained some rare british mail-art omens, as well as a unique "Manoir aux Visons en Alsace" address.…

Yippeeeee, Jubilee Diamond Mail from Dean. This is such an honour. I guess the figure on this card is Henry the-so-many'est, isn't it?

Look at the stamp! Ulluzubuth smiles. She must be very happy with Dean, visiting her Kingdom. I wonder what Dean's…

Another tragedy, but this one apparently avoided ... so far ... :

You must read the story. It is well worth it. And now I'm wondering, beneath the barcodes and 60w BELL bulb labels, are we seeing a map of the nefarious and unlawful procurement of the…

Including champagne, even: 

Those caps just do it for me somehow. As we know from the other side here, and from other blogs, Dean's first meeting with Val sadly did not happen. I view that as a terrible tragedy. Could there be any more fun had by…

Dean, not a fragment of glitter out of place. and 'two r's better than one', you are the bestest. thanks dear, you always make me laugh. …

Dean has sent me so many great pieces and I am so behind with blogging... I wanted to be the first one to crack the code, but I think several people have done so before me. Corked SOS, of course :-))…

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…

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…

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…

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…
