thanks Margaret; see you in the mail soon.

my celery and his pal Hercule are eating up every last word of La Vie Secréte des Mots 17 -

merci Pascal et al

in his sprawling and endlessly entertaining installation at the International Museum of Naive Art Anatole Jakovsky in Nice, Ben has hung up signs - with quotations such as this - just below the ceilings of many rooms in the exhibition spaces.

there were also many card tables with 'pourquoi?' painted on them, and even…

awyn sends along a vintage experiment with ink; merci mon amie.

another cool collage; always a treat to see William in the mailbox

obrigado Flor

déjeuner sur les ruines?

and a lovely valentine's day card to boot! thanks for these and all that you send…

maybe a gelli plate print? and an ATC entitled "enigmatic card".

even though there's a lot of her work posted here on IUOMA, it's always nice to see my Dutch friend's creative work in the mailbox. and check out this cavalcade of postage!…

everything old is new again! from Brazil, an upcycled calendar proves that 2024=1996; go figure

and a Flux Satchel with some smaller snippets - my favorite:…

this invitation to participate in Ticket! Ticket! is such a cool boomerang piece!

Jack has meticulously assembled a bunch of my previous submissions on this card, so it's like unearthing a personal time capsule. pretty sure i've already sent in some new stuff for the next series; looking forward to…

this 'cautionary' missive makes me think of a lyric from "Les Miserables":

Red, a world about to dawn / Black, the night that ends at last

Mr. Stolte also sends an intriguing graphic by MusicMastter of Minneapolis:…

Sabela is one of the most prolific producers (and posters!) around.

this time she she's sent me a 'year-of-the-dragon'-themed packet of small pieces. 

muchas gracias amiga!

Mim sends another fill-in-the-blank/make-your-own-adventure postcard:

'i think i'll just have an orange for lunch'
