I heard Elisabeth call my name...

Amazing mail from Elisabeth. I am a terrible insomniac - and in the middle of the night,when all through the house not a creature is stirring...I can hear an owl hoot if I am lucky. I've never seen it, but it sounds close. It is such a beautiful sound - like a wind instrument in a low register. But better. much better.

Busy!Busy!Busy!

As you can see I am on the brink of mailing out a huge batch of mail art...each one absolutely original.not a mass printed item in sight! I've been working on them for a while now.
