New autumn series from Katerina today. Maybe I will NOT sell my shredder after all, I see that shredpo is still in. If Katerina sends it, it's in. At first I didn't notice, but Katerina didn't just shred any piece of paper, she shredded.... dollars!! A very bold move in the kingdom of Po! And it makes me all the richer. Rich of of warm colors and of warm thoughts, thank you so…

I have been admiring Lindall's asemic series on her IUOMA page, I think they are fantastic. It's always great to receive cards one has commented on a few days earlier. It's like magic, a wish granted! Thank you Lindall, I love it!…

New mail from the one and only Grigori Antonin to his devoted Marie Antonette :-))
A yellow envelope containing an A4 sheet which I will happily Pad and Ass on. And on the back of the envelope, Groot Suster (to me, every woman with blond hair in a comic = Groot Suster) is very much inspired by Mary. Now that's a twist! Usually it is rather the other way…

I dared and I opened :-)) Totally worth it. Thom's Halloween envelope contained a great poem full of tricks and sweets.
And look a the ghostly robe! I agree with you, Thom, Where's the Love, where's the Love...
Thank you…

It's been a very long time without a card from RCBz. My fault only, I am afraid, I haven't sent him anything for months. So this was a very pleasant surprise in my mailbox. I like his cards, he has such a distinctive and unique style, but every time I am blogging them I am in a bit of a trouble. Where do I start? What do I say? I feel that I don't understand…

Stephanie Blake is sending me the sweetest of things. A sweet voodoo doll! She took a picture of her childhood doll PJ and made some fantastically crafted mail with it. I love it. And look at that cotton cloud on the back of the card. There's nothing sweeter.
Has anyone ever tried sweet voodoo? Does it work? I think I might give it a try. PJ looks very…

During the last months we have seen some of Cheryl's Dreams resurface. Most of them were wintery Nightmares, inhabited by blinded Pigs, haunted by Monsters of all kinds. This recent series is a continuation of it, but also a new start. We are clearly slipping into a warmer and less tormented season. Without ever leaving the Fantasy behind, of…

Trash books are undoubtedly the big thing right now. Nancy very kindly wanted to send me one, but she also knows that I am not that much into trashpo. What she managed to make here is a trash book that contains only treasures. I have to say, I was blown away by her work. Every page is absolutely exquisite. I can't even start listing all the textures, the…

Katerina's mail always brings good mood to the house. It makes me smile unerringly. While traveling to Paris she sent many postcards to her IUOMA friends. On one of them (I forgot who the recipient was) she used a cut out from a menu advertising a sushi and coffee lunch set. Sushi with coffee is an odd idea for the least and it made me laugh when I saw it.…

I must be on one of Bifidus' good lists, because he sends me three times a wonder. Three cards that arrived over two days, and that, when put together, reveal a majestic (if bloodcurdling) creature. Partly human, partly animal, he just beheaded a man. Bifidus used his signature maps, adding thick rivers of text to it. The back of the cards too is layered to…

Big surprise in my mailbox. My first DK mail, yeeey! Two postcards on carboard. Could it even be very personalized mail? Did DK see my Chance/Choice picture and is sending a reply to it? Is it Chance or is it Choice? The characters on both cards are all blinded with the word Chance, Kings of which Kingdom, we will never know. The cards include numbers of…

Lesley is sending me a very precious little book. A book full of Wisdom. I keep turning its pages, I keep asking questions with the hope of a Revelation. Who knows. It looks like this boekie could tell me a few things indeed. Each page unique, minimal (minimalist? I never know the difference), full of treasures. I'll let you appreciate it's beauty through the…

Recently there have been several great blogs about mail art related to Memories and Memory. The piece that Nancy is sending me breathes the same air of Reminiscence. It comes with a wonderful letter, relating sweet childhood memories, freewheeling days at her grandparents' farmhouse. A child's universe, a lost world, but how come ever so present in the adults…

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…

A poetry-themed mini blog today. The first card is a beautiful painting by Marni Zainodin (Malaysia). I like the poem a lot:
We're both looking at the same moon in the same world. We're connected to reality by the same line. All I have to do is [.?.] draw it towards me.

You might remember Kanji Puffs. One of the girls on Angie's blog had to get several of them excised from her throat I think (the girl's throat, not Angie's). But no worries, it's a minor surgery and absolutely routine. Today we learn a bit more about those wondrous little things filled with wholesome goodness.

All these pieces deserve a blog of their own, but unfortunately time is exerting pressure on these early autumn days. So here are three fantastic pieces for you today.
My first envelope from the very talented Cathérine. Perfectly matching the card. I admire her work greatly, she has a unique style, very pure, very delicate, yet their is a…

Lisa Iversen (Skybridge Studios) is sending me this beautiful piece. I say piece because I am not entirely sure in which category to put it. When I received it our conversation went something like this:
M - Thank you for your wonderful bookie, Lisa.
L - The black bead is supposed to be a volcano.
M - black bead? I can't see any black…
