This beautiful blue birdy showed up in my mail box from Toni Hanner.  My youngest thinks it's beautiful too.  Inside was very native inspired, with a vintage photo of Seattle.  If you can see inside the envelope there is a slip of paper - almost like a fortune…

Dada mail from Katerina, with a 'found poem" to boot.  How lucky am I!  Thanks so…

Ed Giecek sent me a wonderful envelope.  I sent him some ma recently because we are neighbors (at least in a global perspective). He is just north of me here in Seattle. I just love the prints and the color too.  Inside were two ATC's a trashpo note and other…

Lovely postcard from Mail art Martha. Thanks so much. I think the driver of this truck is just wonderful. I didn't take a photo of the other side, but she drew me a dog with brown patches, a picket fence with roses, and my favorite, feet with socks and sandals.  Thanks again…

Great art from Carina.  Here is the back of the card and back of the envelope.  I have a Richard 2 cent stamp peeking out.  Here is the front of the crazy card.  I LOVE IT!!!  Thanks…

Kangaroo postcard from Vizma, with boxers and a toothy grin.  Not sure who would win this fight - probably the kangaroo.  Thanks Vizma!  I love all the stamps.  What an archive you…

Jon sent this amazing envelope with a TON of goodies inside. I can't wait to get started using them. Thanks so much Jon.  I think at the bottom of the page is an add and pass of a human intestine diagram.  Who should I send it to?

Thanks to my new mail art friend Jennifer for the lovely envelope and card.  I am glad I blindly sent her some mail. 

Thanks for all of you who sent mail to my daughter Hope at camp.  She won the contest between her friends with 35 pieces of mail!  Thank you to the following; Angelica Paez, Otto Sherman, Mim Golub-Scalin, Moan Lisa and Mom Katerina Nikiltsou.…

My 14 year old daughter Hope is going to camp tomorrow and is having a competition with her best friend to see who can get the most mail while they are away.  If you have time, and you are close enough to get mail to just outside Seattle, Washington by Friday the 7th, she would love to hear from you.  Her friend Zoe H. can also receive mail at the same address...

What a trio of postcards! 

The first, from Jon Foster, is a Tucker original.  Tuckers #1 Fan, and president of the fan club, Jon is 'just doing his job' with this…

Keith says it's a minimal kind of month.  Minimal magnificence is…

Let me start by saying, that I am not in anyway qualified to tell you why this piece from De Villo Sloan is so incredible.  I could try and throw…

Mail Art Martha sent me two cards and repro cigarette card.  The theme seemed to be horses with one card for the Year of the horse, and a team of horses on the cigarette card. Horse stamp on the envelope too.  Thanks for the sketches of your time on holiday.  …

Val sent me a lovely drawing, some encouraging words, and a card with finger knitting (my guess anyhow) and a floppy disc clip attached.  How creatively cool!  I love the reverse of the card.  The heading is "Watussi und Zulus".  It reiminds me of the song lyric, "do the Watussi.."  My fave is the smiling red stamped face.  Thanks Val.…

Clever collage from Erni. Hunter S. Thompsons, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" staring Johnny Depp figures centraly on the front.  Strange movie, but lovely card. Thanks Erni.…

Thanks for the calm, cool and peaceful watercolor Katerina.  I'm headed to the ocean tomorrow and your watercolor reminds me of how excited I am.  Thanks again. 

Thanks Tiffany for the delightful card.  Love the diamonds.  The postmark even added something.
