A vibrating OM arrives in my mailbox from NBS. It is a beauty Nancy Bell, thanks. 

So all together now OMMMMMMMMMMM.

Chernobyl Pepsi by Teri Hruska…

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.…

N° 2 paint on paper from Cheryl N°5 Penn comes with a note which explains that this piece came from a 3 meter painting on paper pulp that is cut up after the paint is dry.  By the look of the thickness of the paint, I would estimate that it took about a year to dry.  The note further explains that the paper pulp comes a friend who by the way is 3 meters tall and works at a paper mill, and likes to give her a roll.  And it seems that the paint wasn't even dry before that happen, but it does…

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! …

Helen knows how much I love her painted abstracts on cardboard. That's why it was extra nice of her to send me another, and this one has a barcode, no less. I absolutely love it. Dear Helen, thank you very very…

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 ~…

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…

I finally was able to get a set of cards done and here they are. I really liked doing mixed media but am ready to try something else. A fabric card or painting. Cut paper maybe. Too many ideas and not enough time. Oh well, I shall move along, keep going and see what happens. I do like the idea of using up some of my art supplies that have been sitting around. Now I can plan a road trip to get more.…

 Today i received this weird abstract collage paint with the title "hot hot hot" by SUE BOWEN (Norfolk), behind the strange composition…

Received a hand inked addition to a vintage style postcard for Italian MA Nicholas Antoine. Lovely paper and ink work - but no regular mail addy - I'm always surprised when artists will contribute such beautiful work and not allow reciprocation. I emailed him and requested a regular post address and sent him a digital piece of my own art - yet I feel it lacks the permanence and beauty…
