TRASHBOOK from Neil Gordon, and who in Connecticut can be trashier?

This trashbook from Neil is raw and real, as all his mail art is. The boekie's pages held a letter and so just a few selected pages are shown in this post--plenty to appreciate the rawness and reality: …

Beautiful art from Diane Keys, including DKult trashbook

This piece was a thrill to find in the envelope--colors, text, use of paint, all aspects of Diane's work that I love:

There are some DKult lessons in the beauteous trashbook below, including topics such as cooperation, courtesy, all the things in which I'm terribly deficient, so it's great that Diane sent this to me:…

Diane Keys aims for white trash

She wanted this trashbook pale and snowy, like the season:

It's very successful both as a trashbook and in fulfilling her wish for me to have white trash. I love it! Thank you very much, Diane, I too am fulfilled! Four more photos follow, and viewers will see that some holiday color did sneak in there. A favorite is the 2nd Place ribbon in the last photo. It…

TrashPo-litzer Certificate of Nomination AND trashbook from the Queen

What more could a trashpo executive ask for? Diane wrote that this is the first low-budget certificate of nomination for the TrashPo-litzer, but perhaps "executive" is too glorious a word for the mere manager of the claims department.

Should We Be Worried About Thom Courcelle ...

that he created so many trashbooks in one week?

One has to wonder, is it possible he is turning COB: compulsive obsessive boo? (I mean that in the best possible way, Thom.) This has been here for a little while, and whenever I'd be about to blog it, someone else would blog theirs. So we have seen several different ones, all wonderful. Above is the cover, and also the front of the… Continue

Few more pages from Diane Keys trash book

My heart's desire, from Diane Keys

A trash book from our trashpo leader:

That's the front, and this is the back:

Diane and her work have made me finally understand why I save stuff, why I love the crooked edges and wrinkles and accidents on the detritus of our lives: because they're…
