Last week I happened to receive two 10x15cms Water Colour paintings ('aquarel' in Dutch) at the same day.

One created close to my home town and sent recently, the other created far away and sent a longer time ago.

I am happy to show them here:



From Amsterdam, the Netherlands:

Thank you very much,…

Since my long bed scanner, which sat next to my lap top on the little desk space in my studio, stopped functioning, I had to rely on the scanner in my husband's studio. Okay, must also confess that his studio is just down from MY studio space, but getting up and going in there to put my stuff on the scanner, then walking back to my lap top to wirelessly scan (this is amazingly futuristic) then walk back and do another scan, sometimes is annoying. It breaks my rhythm of playing. Or perhaps…

After working on it, Dean Marks now says "BUT I KINDA LIKE IT!" So do I, yep, it's colorful, looks Italian or French, and features wine and grapes--can't go wrong with those ingredients: There it hangs now near the piano corner, lightening the heavy load of the…

I was so honored to receive this parcel. Man, it was full of some goodies:

So bright! The back is very beautiful and funny. There is a wonderful copy of an analysis of ten-year-old John writing to his auntie. "Was he being satirical when he says the towel was the best towel her had ever seen?"…

Many of you know that I've been publishing a print magazine, several of the IUOMA artists have had their work featured in it including Eduardo Cardoso and Carina Granlund in the Winter 2012 issue. Matthew Rose and David Stafford were also featured in past issues. In addition to the print version, Un<>Cut now has its own website and I encourage everybody to go take a look! You can find it by following this link:…

the eye of this bird knows something. An edifying glance. Beautiful Guido and eerie. A huge tree fell last night during a storm missing all structures. thank you god the mother and you as well Guido.

I'm trying my best to keep my postings of mailart that I've received as current as possible!  Here are three pieces from Kerri Pullo (IUOMA member) that she sent recently.…

The joy of the elements of this piece go beyond the visual which may be difficult to believe. Nancy layered  fine parchment papers. Both splendidly painted and collaged. The other element here is the SOUND of the paper when lifting to peek beneath. so multi-dimensional Nancy. an angel peeks through the window on the upper left. Gracias NBS. It's always a pleasure doing business with you. ;--)…

Thank you Lubomyr. Yours is the first MA from the Ukraine. It's lovely. 

Today I recieved a delightful envelope filled with colorful puzzle pieces from Bear.  Upon completion I got an awesome painting of a Minor Threat album cover...very cool delivery Bear! Thanks so much...I;m thinking I'll need to spray mount it on a board so I don't lose any of the pieces. :)…

Transgress

1. To go beyond or over (a limit or boundary); exceed or overstep

2. To act in violation of (the law, for example)



As far as the page is concerned, I think that Cheryl is transgressing it with every piece of art she is sending out. Guilty as charged. Her books never look like any other books that ever…

Catherine writes that she has been experimenting: Bold and beautiful colors on the card (and envelope below), Catherine, and a very nice, organic style. Yes I do like it, very much! And also the Virginia Woolf quote on the back of the card: "Each has his past…

You might have seen similar pieces by Cheryl on IUOMA blogs all around the world, but the thing is, each of those booklets is a truly unique piece of art. An exploration deep into the flow of ideas, an idea in its own right.
