My God, what have I said now? - from RCBz

Another fun and elaborate postcard from RCBz, I was missing them. East and West are never far apart in RCBz's world, trying to cope with each other when not battling. The card and its back side have a strong comic strip flavor, but the theme is actually…

A snowy Christmas mail with the scent of roses - from Yara-Colette Lemke de Faria

Taped wishes (project 365 nr 23) - from Katerina Nikoltsou

Holiday greetings from Katerina Nikoltsou! This is number 23 of project 365. Still such a long way to go... I am really admiring the stamina of the "365 people", I could never take on such work and stick to it. …

The circles of my (mice's) mind - from Cheryl Penn

This title must sound rather puzzling to you, but let me try to explain. A few months ago when I just met Cheryl she asked me what (on earth) I was doing in Japan. I told her a little bit about my job which, in a very small nutshell, consists of drawing circles around mouse brain cells after they have been in a square or in a round box. A tiny drop in the huge sea of the research going on in the field of learning and memory. I think we are both fascinated by the way memory is encoded in our…

received from Jon Foster

ok I'm slow, this has been a couple weeks. Thanks Jon for the most interesting PC. (I like the writing over the woman's face) You can't tell from the scan but the trees and fire are made of many small pieces. …

Budget goodie bag - from Jennie Hinchcliff

I met Jennie at the Tokyo Art Book Fair last summer, where she had a stand. This was also my first encounter with art books, and my fist encounter with mail art. What can I say, I fell in love. I owe Jennie a lot, without her I wouldn't be aware of this very special world of mail art, and she is a truly nice person and a talented artist.

The (plastic) envelope she sent me cracked me up. It is a traditional japanese household budget envelope. Each month one can write how much one spent…

Advent goodies - from Susanna Lakner (Planet Susannia)

I have landed on Planet Susannia, yeeey! I have been admiring Susanna's work on the various IUOMA blogs, I find it very cool, she is such a talented collagist and stamp designer. A true artist.

Those are the first artist trading cards that I got. I think I'll be making some in return for Susanna, they are quite inspiring, I like working with…

On the wings of the wind - from Cheryl Penn

The wind has been bringing me fabulous things. Things that most of the time leave me speechless. It's true that mail between South Africa has proven to be anything but on the wings of the wind, but it is so worth the wait.…

An asemic island - from Karen Champlin

I commented on Cheryl's blog the other day about how much I like the asemic world and how much beautiful art was coming out of it. It's a strange feeling, something not unlike jealousy. Like wishing one had done that piece oneself. And I feel like this with Karen's asemic writing too. When I saw her first piece I thought that there was a very Japanese Katakana touch to it, something in the purity and simplicity of the lines maybe.… Continue

An early winter sunset - from Katerina Nikoltsou

A piece of Greek beauty arrived in my mailbox the other day. A big slice of warm and luscious Greek sunset. And I should add, fragrant (I'm guessing cinnamon this time?). The painting is a perfect dégradé of orange in thick brush strokes. Wouldn't it be great to sip a tea at a table outside a café in front of the sea, best seat of the theater? I actually feel like I am there, in Thessaloniki, witnessing the sun… Continue

Sugar for my mule (braille card) - from Bifidus Jones

I can't believe I nearly missed the braille script on Bifidus's postcard. I was looking at it for several days without noticing anything. I even read Karen Champlin's blog post about a braille card she got from Bifidus, but it only struck me now. I don't know if you can see it, it is very subtly haptic and maybe only meant to be explored by fingers. And since this is Bifidus he placed it on a sea of wavelets for an even stronger… Continue

Big time flâneur the Crimson G has landed

This was a very much awaited envelope. In fact I had lost all hope of ever seeing the face of Cheryl's Giant. Do you know how long He has been on the road for? Three months! Where has He been all this time? Oh well, I guess they didn't call Him a flâneur for nothing, there must be an abundance of things to see between South Africa… Continue

A refined young lady - from Jen Staggs

Jen's mail is the epitome of vintage. Here she used a card that already had a pretty vintage fragrance (the red flowers), and gave it her own twist. The dress is a pencil work on tracing paper, which gives a nice transparency. But the story really unfolds on the back of the card. It's like opening the doors of a sophisticated and elegant salon of the 18th century.

"A young lady, to be eligible for mariage, was not trained in… Continue

Multi sensory booklet - from Katerina Nikoltsou

My very first mail from Greece arrived the other day. And it smelled wonderful...

I remember reading a comment on Bifidus's haptic group where Katerina was wondering if haptic art was restricted to the sense of touch. I think the general answer was a sort of a "yes but no" type of answer, after which Katerina came up with this booklet where she cleverly combined multi sensory goodies. After going… Continue

Crossroads nr2 - from Douglas Galloway

If you scroll down my blog you will find the first postcard I got from Douglas Galloway a couple of weeks ago. I called it crossroads at the time. This one is the grid version of it, a detail of the beautifully named "South of Market" from the lattice series. I have seen a couple of other versions of the grid prints on IUOMA blogs, and they nicely complement each other, it's interesting to observe their growth in the blogging world… Continue
