A gallimaufry from Cheryl Penn

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

Collage and trashpo treasures from Erni Bar

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…

Coveted work from Alicia Starr

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…

Svenja Wahl sent Botticelli through the mail!

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…

"American Book Covers 1830-1900" sent by Skybridge ...

...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…

Potpourri from Frieder Speck

Here is the most unusual, an experimental paper with wax, front and back: The texture of this thick waxy paper that still smells like wax is beyond description. I can only say that it's a grabber, the feel is like nothing else, and I touch it at least once a…

Not one but two special pieces from Marie Wintzer !

This two-piece art from Marie wants to hang by its delicate threads: I know it does! yet haven't figured out yet how to do it well. And that's fine, because just holding it is enjoyable, and calls up many associations aside from the wonderful ways Marie uses text: there is also the swimming aspect in this work, and that movement is mesmerizing. I love it, as I do the book that…

Great MA from Samuel Montalvetti

This handsome mail art card is fantastic, I love it, along with the delightful booklets: I've seen some of Samuel's ultra-tiny fluxus and asemic books elsewhere, and coveted them.

Also enclosed is a [ ... ] cool add+pass envelope (I.D. credit: Lesley Magwood Fraser).  thank you for everything, I'm so pleased to have MA from you ~…

Hot dog history and a ____book from Nadine Wendell-Mojica

Who knew? Just Nadine's envelope taught me a lot (and I'm upset that the hot dog really is a sausage). Inside was a great treasure, related due to the comment on history that the book's title announces. This book is at least part trashpo--or is it all trashpo?…
