Lovely page with (Silk?) threads pouring out of it. You can't help running your fingers a long the threats. On the 9th of January 2012, the “Bound for Life” book was unbound for life as the pages have been sent around the world. Thank you ladies.…

N° 2 paint on paper from Cheryl N°5 Penn comes with a note which explains that this piece came from a 3 meter painting on paper pulp that is cut up after the paint is dry. By the look of the thickness of the paint, I would estimate that it took about a year to dry. The note further explains that the paper pulp comes a friend who by the way is 3 meters tall and works at a paper mill, and likes to give her a roll. And it seems that the paint wasn't even dry before that happen, but it does…

Friends from South Africa have been thinking of me recently. A second mailing of South African provenance arrived of GOTIJ-standard caliber. Strikingly, the format was similar to that of another South African compatriot's piece recently received--it was an accordion piece, and it also depicted an animal, though of the more aerie variety. One really had to discover the avian fellow, however, as he splashed around in a bath of liquid alphabet characters.…

Received these two abstract pieces in the mail from Cheryl. The color and texture are evocative of Africa.

Another book made from Cheryl's The World is a Town:
In case someone doesn't know it yet, Cheryl dismantled her incredible artist's book The World is a Town and has been mailing pieces she makes of it to artists as a mail art project, hoping to receive a mail art in return that responds to or interprets the title. How she could take apart that magnificent work, I'll…

Following Cheryl's example when blog is backed up: Very late to the blog due to a mix-up, this is Cheryl's fabulous Ghostwriter Part 4, which knocked my sox off when I opened it. It says: "He was CERTAIN the link was Durers self portrait -- The likeness was unmistakable" and "The manuscripts revealed NOTHING" and "Bound by Betrayal. No-one he could trust." Plenty ghostly, the…

The book form has featured prevalently it seems among our artwork. I’ve tried writing to a few of you about the appeal of the book form… why it attracts us so much. Most recently in the Trashpo Group, there have been several of us who have explored that medium. I’m still a little hard pressed to explain fully the draw, but I am an admitted bibliophile… something about the familiarity of books, of how knowledge is contained in them… and even in that phrase—“contained knowledge”—there is…

I love this piece, Cheryl, what a wonderful surprise in my mailbox. Thank you very much!
Your stitching is terrific -- both neat and lyrical at the same time. Love the "shaking her head to make her meaning clear" in the music directions. Like a…

This is my first ever blog posting, so—please—I beg of thee, forgive me any foibles or gaffes that may reveal themselves in the prosaic ramblings that follow…
Multiple works of artifice have recently found themselves lodged in my mailbox and this post-ing is a celebration of the DIVERSITY of talent that exudes from all corners of the planet—truly!—represented by a small, but ever growing, microcosm of creatives burrowing within the electronic village called IUOMA. Though the…
