The "Odori", a Dramatic Dance in Old Time Costume - from RCBz

More art from RCBz today. Receiving postcards from your friends is always uplifting, but receiving mail art from a mystery person takes it to a whole different level doesn't it? Nearly gives me chills :-)

This is a great collage, featuring various japanese characters, traditional and modern. They all seem to be part of a dance "odori" performance on stage, a traditional tatami room (love the way the head of the rocker guy pops… Continue

A person's a person, no matter how small - from Deborah Davidson

A great piece of etegami arrived from Hokkaido yesterday. "A person's a person" is part of the oil spill series and pictures plankton swimming amongst blotches of oil. I'm very fond of Deborah's work, and I will proudly add this card to my growing collection, thanks dosankodebbie!

Two big smiles

This one is from Grigori Antonin, much obliged. Love the way the camera lens seems to be popping out from the card!

And this beautiful japonesque postard is from Jennie Hinchcliff.

Am I lucky or… Continue
