Tiny art-thingies from Svenja Wahl

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…

Neil Gordon sends me an extremely lovable trashpo mail art

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…

Painted envelope from Guido Vermeulen with extra goodie inside

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.
