Mail Received - Cristina Blank

Cristina kindly sent me the little altered prayer card which she offered a little while ago. Prayer cards have a long history and most likely are the predecessors of more modern collectables, like baseball cards.

Mail Received - Vizma Bruns

Here is the bookie I received from Vizma, from recent Trashpolitzer fame. This is a little masterpiece too.

It is a true labour of love with lots of tiny details, stamps, paper scraps such as musical notes and security envelope, cut out words from book pages, packaging tape, washi tape, coloured staples, gold leaf, a dried flower and an amazing selection of hilarious and beautiful rubber stamp prints. The envelope is made of a page from an atlas.…

I have collected a few bits of trash I found for a day or two, but did not find it so interesting. Maybe the streets here in Vienna are just too clean. Maybe I just don't have the trashpo talent. But I love studying Diane's bookie,…

Mail Received - Erni Bär and a Riddle

Erni is a mail art factory and generous sender, and I have received several pieces of mail art lately, which I want to show you here. I am also asking your help so please read to the end. I am not sure which item was in which envelope, but Erni might correct me if I got it muddled up.

Here is the first envelope with a large scale collage advertising Erniness: Homoeopathic Erniness for better health and looks. Erniness works! Yes, I am a believer.…
