A beautiful and delicate card from Katerina. Yes, in spite of all the things that happened and are still happening, hope is not dying out. Spring in here. Are we going to sit under the cherry trees and do hanami as every year? Maybe not. But then again, maybe we should.

I find this card to have quite a Japanese feel. Is it the ink, the symbiosis of paper and paint, the pure lines.... In any case, I love it, thank you Katerina, you have been such a great support in these…

Today I give you four very special ladies. They might seem a little bit different at first, but they are one of us. And we are one of them.

Cheryl is a heck of a painter, and no less of a story teller. She is working on another volume of The Chronicles of Lyrehc, and those are some of the characters of the book. I think I would read such a book in one go and start all over again. And again. Looking at those paintings and reading Cheryl's words, I find a lot of that magic that I…

I'm so happy Lauriana included me in her mailing list for this series of her, her work is just amazing. 

The envelope is so original, it looks like vintage leather. It was also very tightly sewn closed, I had a lot of fun opening it with my mini scissors :-)…

I don't mean to brag (well, only a little bit), but I am still (no matter what some people might think) the number one mail art psychic in the house. A couple of weeks ago as I saw the picture of a monkey stealing Katerina's sandpaper on De Villo's blog, I predicted that some sandpaper monkey mail art would turn up very soon. Not only did it turn up, but it turned up in my…

My first ever envelope from Australia arrived last week. Until now I only admired Helen's work on other people's blogs, but I am now the proud owner of one of her cards. A big slice of Australia for me, starting with the kangaroo envelope (love it!).

The card is a book page decorated with painting, postal stamps, rubber stamps? (not sure) and... one of Helen's silky…

Holiday greetings from Katerina Nikoltsou! This is number 23 of project 365. Still such a long way to go... I am really admiring the stamina of the "365 people", I could never take on such work and stick to it. …

The wind has been bringing me fabulous things. Things that most of the time leave me speechless. It's true that mail between South Africa has proven to be anything but on the wings of the wind, but it is so worth the wait.…

This one is for my friend Crystel. I see her only twice a year when I go back to Europe and I miss her. This summer we both bought a very similar pair of red shoes and it became a sort of an in-joke between us. When I saw this add for shoes in one of the vintage magazines I bought in Jinbocho I immediately felt like sending it to her.

The envelope is made from a very cheep print of a famous japanese woodblock print.

There are not so many price tags around these days, everything seems… Continue
