This is my first mail from Carina, and very nice interpretation of the song I can see clearly now. I always like her letters and the way she turns them into great mail art. Seeing more clearly, yes, for sure I would like that. Thank you very much Carina!…

I don't even know where to start to explain the geniusness of this piece. First of all, although hard to tell from the picture, it is completely en relief, 3D and everything, and shipped as it is without envelope. Dean got the idea for this after a comment on one of his blogs where I said that I was not a poulet de printemps anymore (direct…

Torma is is making great cards with newspapers these days, I always admire his creativity. And I see the little "rolls" from his last card have caught on and became even more sophisticated. Really nice envelope as well, thank you Torma, it's always a pleasure!…

Have you ever dreamed that you were falling into a pothole? Have you ever imagined what would happen then? No? Well, in this case, Cheryl did it for you. Her Dream series is growing in complexity and twists, and the poetry that comes along with it is ever so unique and sharp and chiseled.
We are still orbiting around Her and The House,…

Once again the photo doesn't do justice to the work. There is a whole world of texture in this etegami that got lost through the camera lens, unfortunately. This is a card from Debbie's new series on holes. She always finds extremely interesting topics to work on, she has an amazing collection of very successful projects, in a nutshell, she's a real…

This is a fantastic (laminated) card by Austin. He has opened the thick walls of the mysterious Hotel Nemzeti for us to have a peep into its darkest corners. The details of the three floors are too many to describe, but there is a certain glow and an atmosphere that has nothing to envy to the best thrillers. We don't know what happened there, we only know there is…

Genki people, I missed you too much, I couldn't be without you for very long. I received a LOT of mail art last week and I don't know if I will have time to blog it all, but here is a copy-paste from last week's Marie's Mailbox blog. Sorry it is a bit long but I didn't want to post three separate blogs.

Bound by Life (chopped up and happier now, she says) - from Cheryl Penn…

A few Weeks ago Cheryl blogged this gallery of Monas featuring several of the works she received for her mail-art call, a masterpiece like only RCBz can do them. I remember commenting on her blog saying that I wouldn't be surprised if the tiny postcards on the rack by the museum shop were also made with Monas that Cheryl received, made microscopic by RCBz's…

This is the second painted canvas I am receiving from Karen. I am really glad she found out about her talents as a painter, I think this new line of work is yet another excellent turn! Thank you for sending, Karen! And with two pieces I can already call it a…

This is my first card from Vizma, and I am absolutely thrilled. Kookaburra, you sure got me googling, Vizma. Just like the chimpanzee on your card, I am a very slow creature. And I very often cannot find things that are right in front of my eyes. True story! In any case, this a great collage. And the back of the card comes with plenty of interesting stamps and…

Bad films and music won't last very long in Katerina's house. She found a great way to recycle them into fantastic mail art and to give them a new and better life.
Katerina was inspired by Joni Mitchell's song "Both…

Bifidus has not been around for ages and I miss him, so I begged him to send me something. He very kindly granted my wish. I've been wondering where he could possibly have gone, and I hope this is not him sending me the answer from purgatory! So I would like to see this piece as a reference to Dante's Purgatorio instead, with Bifidus finding himself somewhere…

It's a Dean of course :-) Dean is making mail-art even when on vacation and having his birthday. This is a thank you card for the birthday wishes, which is so very nice of him. Dean went on a skying weekend during which he met the banana family, who made a big impression on him, so I am a little bit concerned about the Bar Codes. Am I holding one of the last…

It's a little bit hard to see but they are there alright, right in the middle. Dark wall's fab MinXus stamps. Between CP-SA and Katerina. Don't they look great with their little crowns? A chuffing sight, thank you Ryosuke, and Dw chan of course.…

Cheryl and I have an ongoing collaboration called The Book of Ether. Maybe you were not around when it all took off, so I will start by quoting Cheryl and her short version of what Ether is: an alternate existence created in the mind due to internet connections. This is only the very short version, of course, and every chapter unveils a little bit more…

You all know Cheryl's Mona Lisa mail-art call. It's got so many fantastic contributions, better than a museum! Cheryl made a boekie with the first four entries when the project was still very young, and I am the happy owner of one of them. Here are a few pictures for you.
Oh, I almost forgot the poem, I couldn't quite figure out wether it was from Keats or…

This is my first mail from Alicia, a wonderful surprise. The flower on the envelope seems to have lost a few of its fragile petals. I always like when things don't arrive exactly the way they left, bearing the marks of a long trip, or "travel wrinkles".…

I couldn't find Stanislav's page at IUOMA but I know he has been sending mail to IUOMA members. I was very pleased to receive this great envelope with gorgeous stamps, and a collage card from him. Thank you Stanislav, something will be out for you soon.…
