This is the 1st treasure from Laurence (Nancy, France) which I received a few weeks ago. A little French bird told that yet another is on the way! ^_^ In the meantime, I share a taste of my joy...…

That is what Cheryl calls this splendid book, a book "sort of about current things, and things a little past": …

The start of a long voyage with Thom begins here.  Fly into Seattle and you'll never want to leave after reading this Trashpo book.

And you are ever so right, Beware of ferries that offer you a ride in their car.  Yell, "Danger stranger"  Except for Dame Mailarta in Victoria.…

And the story continues over water.

I'm sure everyone has a Canoe story.  Some should never be mentioned in a Trashpo book.  Yes, there are limits to Trashpo.

Sail away for 7 days.

Ah now you're talking.  The best way to…

The Car, where would we be without it now.  So open says me.

At last the car.  At one time it was "The great American dream" to own a car.

The last page and sign off, but wait there is more.  Bits that have fallen out of the Trashpo…

Fantastic collages--they knocked my sox off.

Next come the latest crushed cans from Erni, always a thrill, and in this group the one at the upper right especially kills me. It is so flat--flatter than usual--and some of it seems to be…

A great little book from Karen Champlin, thank you very much!!…

I don't really know how to start this blog, because no blog can say enough to do justice to this work. Cheryl's Book about Books is an absolute beauty. It won't reveal all its secrets at first glance. You will have to dig in and explore to find out more about it.…

Sweet!  I received a wonderful little art book with many important choices to be made.

Cheryl and I have an ongoing collaboration called The Book of Ether. Maybe you were not around when it all took off, so I will start by quoting Cheryl and her short version of what Ether is: an alternate existence created in the mind due to internet connections. This is only the very short version, of course, and every chapter unveils a little bit more…

Only a peek since Nadine suggested it becomes an Add and Pass.  

I knew Cheryl was working on this boekie and it kept me waiting in excitement. I wanted to see what the Arthur Rimbaud Symbolist School of Subtle Aesthetic Obscurity (now the School for Complex Aesthetics) was really about. I enrolled in the School quite a while ago, without knowing much about it, just because everything that is coming out of it has a very…

I wonder how Mona would have reacted back then had she known the extent of her future fame. Which woman has provided more inspiration, undergone more transformations through the ages? Cheryl once again found the perfect starting point for a mail art call. What is an original artwork?

There is only one Mona, yet there are millions of it. There…

I have been waiting for the third of Cheryl's Dream Series (but not necessarily the chronological third) for several weeks. This forced awake state was well worth going through, because the dive into the next dream is just priceless. With this book we are leaving the House on the Hill and the Castle for a while, and the detective story is put in brackets. Instead, we…

Envious of the coinbook pages Alicia has sent others, I received a coinbook and couldn't be happier: 

This coinbook is painted thickly and beautifully with mostly copper-penny-color paint, has a few more "pages" to it (Alicia pasted the…

Botticelli book cover, that is, a nice one: This is a thank-you note, according to Svenja, for the book cover she liked so much--notice the beautiful gold heart in his hands. It might be a little forward of Botticelli, but I don't mind! On the address side Svenja uses a "pfg" stamp or print block, which I am also very taken with and she says she bought along with some other…

...in this wonderful wrap-envelope that nearly didn't survive the postal system: The envelope arrived torn, with the book-covers educational brochure sitting beside it. Lucky! Lisa tells me she took the chance because the map is of my own part of the world. You…
