A few weeks ago I left a comment on one of Nancy Bell Scott's blogs about an envelope from Ruud, saying that one day I WILL get one of those too :-)) and what do I find in my mailbox a few weeks after that? Yes, absolutely, my first painted envelope from Ruud! PLUS some goodies and a very nice letter. Needless to say, I was thrilled to receive this fluxy envelope, I…

I like this zippy request/order to the post office: ...and love the painted envelope itself. Inside were recent IUOMA materials. Thank you so much, Ruud, your MA is always a treat! …

It's beautiful and playful: Inside, more treats: Also this C.F.E. (Community Feeling Enhancer), below, which I get a big kick out of. Thank you very much, Ruud, I love it all ~…

She led me to believe she'd sent something silly, and then a crowd of intriguing minis shows up: and the calmer but nice back: In this art batch in plastic sleeves there are Svenja's animals, asemics, interesting compositions even on slide-sized cards, and…

It's hard to pinpoint why, but Neil's asemic envelope--which IS the art, with just a sliver of grocery bag holding it together along with an abundance of clear tape--stole my heart. I asked him, with hope that the answer would be no, whether I need to…

Guido's "The Work of a Lifetime":

The title could be interpreted in multiple ways, like probably many of Guido's art envelopes. The man is astoundingly prolific, and that his verbal interpretive mind is right up there, always on the case along with the painter, makes everything I've received from him not only visually interesting and often beautiful (like this…

Mail from Guido Vermeulen (Belgium) arrived last week. A beautiful painted envelope (large) in which he included some details of his work and also a photo of his working place where you can see how he makes his envelopes. Seems he like to use a lot of ink. Also a…

She was obsessed with sex and appearance the day she sent these:

They're everywhere in these delightful pieces. My favorite tip appears…

... in that I whooped and hollered, I'm so thrilled with it:

To me this is a really fine work that includes elegance, contemporaneity + history, and mystery. The red and black/brown giving the face its soft-tissue structure and expression are a bold move, one that I find very successful.  The eyes are fascinating and enigmatic -- sometimes I see them as spookily blank,…

I have been admiring them, Guido, and am really thrilled with this beaut: What luck, and not only that: Guido included a photo of a piece he received from Catherine Petre. Catherine's piece is one I saw among Guido's photos here and liked so much that I favorited it!  Did you know that, Guido??  Or was this an amazing coincidence?  In any case, Thank You!  Photo is below.  (And…

A beautiful plastic envelope from Stephanie. I think it contains several layers of goodies, but I won't open it, the stitches are too nice. I'll enjoy the fabric and paper and drawings from "outside", like the window of a shop I can't afford to enter. This is really beautiful, Stephanie, thank you for sending!

A fun envelope from Lin Collette, with ATC. Thank you Lin!…
