Belatedly acknowledging and documenting mail art received!

Don't know about the rest of you but the holiday season has been long, wonderful and disruptive for me and mail art has arrived and sat in piles in my studio aching for documentation and replies.

Today the last of the family departed and when I made a path through the studio and started to examine the piles.  I am a bit daunted, for the moment, but also…

Val Herman: The master returns to beer mat art.

And there I was thinking that Val was lost for good to Arty Slides.  What a surprise to see the ole Val back on the beer mat track.  OK so we can't read what it says, but it's a great start.  Are there any non-blondes out there who can read Swedish?

And Val is coming back with a THUD…

double bubble for Val

this may come off as weird posting something i sent to Val to help him with his recovery of the blow of  Vizma's departure and also since the Lil' Red Bag went to Angie and Snooky and again his heart was tampered with OR it could inspires honeymoon ideas since most of this signage was from a place in England called Blackpool.  Nancy, is this a 'run on'…

French Post Box from Val

Now you can print this out and have your own French Mailbox.  Val suggests that I stick a copy over my post box at home.  This might just confuse the mailman, but it could be fun for a good laugh.  PS By chance I ran into our postman the other day (very very rare for Paris), he told me that he enjoys seeing all the art work.  I told him about the website, and he might sign up, he says he is also an "Artist".  Please Note: He also wanted Diane Keys' telephone number, but I didn't give it to…

Recently Received Bounty... Great Thanks

My home internet connectivity was having troubles of late.  The service technician came this morning to fix the problem (hurray!) so I am posting here several recent wonderful mail pieces that have arrived in my mailbox.

 

The magnificent Eduardo Cardosa sent some “Mind Bending” Paranormal Poste.  Enclosed: TWO great pieces! And I loved them both… one a minimalist deconstruction of Roman letter character(s).  Several serif appendages line up to create a new re-assembled…
