Happy mail week for me: Diane Keys send me this great mail art as a surprise. The part on top (if it is the top) looks like an old anatomical drawing (or a river delta??) - it's wonderful, Diane, thank you very much!

After getting the postcard with notes from Cathérine last week I received this wonderful mail art from Nancy Bell Scott. I favorited and commented it a few days ago and Nancy wrote that it was already on the way to me at this time. I love this card because of the wonderful colours and the very special touch (??) Nancys cards have. And I love the tiny "Nancy" on the bottom…

Last week I received this wonderful card from Judith. If I got it right it's part of a bigger picture and a second card I received a few weeks ago belongs there too. So I'll start to collect and see if I'll get the big picture together. I love the colour and the special texture of Judith's cards very much (and look forward to her trifold pages...) 

On the other…

Received a wonderful envelope an card from Cathérine today (put it the mailbox in Belgium yesterday - rapid art!). The musical topic is announced on the envelope and on the other side there is a wonderful small IUOMA-sticker with a drawing from Cathérine and a cute little letter:…

A new secret from Frieder Speck arrived a few days ago. He named it "Thinking about words" and emphasized that this one was REALLY secret, so I first thought about not blogging it at all, and just giving Nancy a hint about it ... but I didn't want to stretch things - and it's just tooooo wonderful. 

It's an accordeon-binded piece with great combinations of…

I'm not sure if "intricate" is the right word I got our of the translation tool - it's a wonderful piece of art with many layers and languages and fabrics and asemic writing and geometric writing and just writing - I really love it, thank you so much,…

My first art I received from Nancy Bell Scott, I saw the wonderful pictures of her art, but now I have the real thing! And it's a bag of surprises, her wonderful card, with a special poem inside:

And an extra card, and some stamps: …

A wonderful small black package, I don't know if I should open it? I think it should stay a secret. The envelope is absolutely fabulous, too. Thank you very much, Frieder, I love it. 

Great mail art from Sarah (BarnArt), a huge cup of tea (I'm a tea addict, too, Sarah) with a real string attached to it (yes, it made it through the postal system!). On the (missing english word, the thingy that hangs on the end of the other thingy that hangs in the cup... ??) there is a quote from Eugene Delacroix:

"Artists who seek perfection in everyting are those…

I received a wonderful letter from Nadine Wendell. An old picture of her childhood room with the handwriting of her mother saying "Nadines room, pink and white", and a fitting image of another childs room. I can't really describe it, and how touching it is. I have sent Nadine some art including a picture from an uncle of mine and she said she would return something from her…

And another mail which made me really happy yesterday: Edward Schäfer sent a huge poster with a quote from a letter Marcel Proust. I'll have to move in a few weeks, and the poster will sure get a special place in the new home. Thank you very much, Edward, you made a Proust afficionado so…

Yesterday I found a marvellous rabbit in the mail box: Judith HeartSong sent one of her wonderful coloured art works with a picture showing a part of the Dentzel Carousel in Glen Echo where Judith lives. Thank you very much, Judith, and: give a rabbit, take a rabbit (meaning: there is another one on its way to Glen Echo…
