Every so often something arrives that really knocks you out...

and this piece from J Block is one of those pieces! To begin with , like many of you, I am crazy about maps and the topographic maps always exert a particular pull. This piece shaved out of a magazine, I think, but the first thing I notice is it's map feel, the haptic nature of the piece and the use of pattern and colour. It appeals to me on many levels. J…

Nancy's pieces seem to glow

Nancy wrote to me about a week ago to tell me that something I'd sent her had arrived. She liked it so much that she had earmarked something special for me, she said.

I can't imagine anyone wouldn't be delighted, exhillarated, swept away by the three pieces Nancy sent me in return for a few pieces of altered crumpled trash… Here is a little glowing ember of Nancy's genius. I have…

Some Guy named Keith in Anaheim

Lots of new work on the MSK blog! Latest arrival was from Keith Chambers, although I am not entirely sure if he meant for it to be for The Postal Ledger or MSK.

But like I keep saying, it doesn't really matter! I blogged Keith's postcard yesterday but it has been sitting on my computer table and each time I pick it up I notice more.

Like who…

IUOMA groups contributed to the festive spirit in Suffolk this season!

As mentioned in an earlier blog, I got lots of wonderful mail art over the holiday season but this year it was the groups on facebook and here at IUOMA that resulted in my participating in some festive swaps that made my Christmas even more jolly!

Belatedly acknowledging and documenting mail art received!

Don't know about the rest of you but the holiday season has been long, wonderful and disruptive for me and mail art has arrived and sat in piles in my studio aching for documentation and replies.

Today the last of the family departed and when I made a path through the studio and started to examine the piles. I am a bit daunted, for the moment, but also…
