Thanks Jay. The stage is set, and the dialogue begins.

Photo doesn't do this piece justice. Dimitra used Graphite and maybe a stencil sine the tiny squares would be nearly impossible to draw. Too bad they show up in this pic. Thanks Dimitra. 

Minxus Waitpinga! Starting with Vizma's envelope, a gorgeous relief map of her neck of the woods. 

And inside was this fabulous…

with a velvet finish. Repurposed direct mail never looked this good. Gorgeous Claudia. Thank you.

This card was made using the tape transfer technique, right? A breath of fresh air. It's a beauty. Thank you Jon.

Nadine sent me a birthday book filled with our history. Actually, her kids were features but mine weren't. Here is a peak at a few pages from the boekie.…

She sees from the horizon.

E'gyptian, E'cdysis, originalite'. Thank you E'. Good to see you again.

a bit of trashp0, stamps and collage all go together in this hermetically sealed package. Stephanie, not sure why i like this so much, maybe it's the name tag saying 'hello my name is' and the transparent envelope and the mustache stamped on the young woman on the back. It all works. thank you. something coming your way soon,…

This is just one of the reasons you are 'worth it' Erni. This envelope sat contentedly on the table for 3 days before it was opened. and you will understand why when you see it. Erni DOES FEED ART TO THE WORLD. From the outer envelope to the inner prize, this is…

Theresa, a certain household member is offering bribes to have this piece. And the stakes grow higher. 

Nice pairing with Vera Pavlova's poem. Thanks Theresa and another thank you for the introduction to a new…

Thanks Kat and Sarah. Been busy with a house guest recently but will send an appropriate thank you soon. First from Katarina: layers of textures with article about a tv series, chapter 2, the pacific boils over. and the Agean painting on verse side in Katerina style. Peaceful with a twist of dk. :-)…

an accordion boekie, filled front and back, both sides, with entertaining and absorbing characters.  It's like Nadine's version of People magazine. A gem for sure. Here is a peek into Nadine's madcap figures.…

OMG, OMG, DEAN, it arrived, not a thread out of place. Even the star stickers stuck. Can't stop smiling. so this is the sock you found in the heart of Paris? I am one blest gal. Couldn't resist a little sniff ;--) ok, now i am laughing out loud. Gotta send this pic to my son in NY. thank you thank you thank you. 

p.s. is that Snooky on the upper…

Gorgeous painted and layered collaged card from Roberto. rich colors we don't see in Iowa this time of year. Thank  you very much Roberto. 

 Seriously, who wouldn't?

This photo intrigues me. there seems to be more than one story here. tiny bits of newsprint on intersecting threads can be moved - but - only to the next intersection. I will spend some time with this one. That isn't a bride carrying a wreath is it? First communion veil? Literal translations usually don't appeal to me, hmmm.  Thank you Laurence.…

Unusual experience yesterday, opening the mailbox to one (1) priceless envelope resting there. No bills, no direct mail, nothing but this one envelope. Apologies for the drama, see for yourself. Painted and collaged page from a book. Enough said. Thank you Nancy. Really, really like this.…
