Anete Ulmane: Trashpo N° 3

     New on the block for me is Anete Ulmane from Riga, Latvia.  This one is called; "Trashpo n° 3".  WOW , if this is N° 3, I can't wait to see what N° 99 will look like.

   It has nearly everything you could ask for in a Trashpo piece.  Tickets, birth control pill packages, cardboard, tissue from a dress, sewing, tea packaging, a hand written letter (remember those?), magizine cut outs, and what I really love is a "waiting line ticket * " n° 146.  (* Not sure what they are…

Taidgh Lynch: And he opened his mouth ... and drew.

     Well needless to say, this one got some good feedback from the postman & our concierge, who over the pass year have somehow become art critics.  They tell me that Taidgh's use of rich colours on the envelope enhances his drawings to a high point.…

Val & MomKat team up for a surprise

Val was so kind enough to send me his credit card to buy art supplies.  Sadly when I got to the store the lady said that the balance on the credit card was zero.  I should have known better from looking at the card number.  So in the end, I give her the painted beer mat he sent me as payment.  She then called the manager ...

Yes, I might of known this, but then…

Erni Bar: Seemanns braut ist die see (A sailors bride is the sea)

A 2D piece from Erni?  Really?  There is more than meets the eye ...

What looks flat to some, may not to all.  Remember it wasn't too long ago that sailors thought the sea was flat.

Well Well, the joke is on all of us ...…

Bifidus Jones: Smoking is good for you

Well in the end, I guess it all comes down to what you are smoking.  And as we all know the famous wise phrase; "You can smoke but you don't have to inhail."  Or is it something about a horse and water?

   Whatever the phrase may be, Bifudus sends some very pleasing pieces.  Yes, those are tinted edges.

Thank you…

Janine Weiss: Coucou dit le hibou (Hello says the Owl)

The wise Owl sends a jam packed card of images and messages.  The elephant and the mouse is an age old Swiss  wise tale about how a little thing can help a big thing.  Then again, it might be the story about how the mouse took the Swiss cheese from the elephant.  I'll let you decide.

All these messages, which one do you see first?  Somehow my eye keeps going to…

E : The New Year Wishes

Scary or not, the wish is here, and it is real.  Texture, colour & deepth.  You can feel yourself just falling into this piece.  He's back and better than ever.  I'm thankful for that.

It seems that I have been added in the "E" Souls Hall of Fame.  But I think I could do better than n° 254.  I wonder what it would take to become a N° 1 "E" soul?…

Amy Irwen Marks the page with The Spirit of Art Bookmark

A lovely return to an all time classic.  Remember when people had real books and marked the pages so they knew where they left off?  Well Amy sent off this little gem in an amazing envelope as well.  I really have to get that sewing machine out of the back room.

Look at the texture of this beauty, it's great and fun to touch.  And no, those are not Amy's blue…

Rebecca & Figgy Guyver: Essay Leftovers & Zwarte Kertmis Gebak

Like Mother like Daughter, a double Dutch take on Christmas baking.  So I guess we have all heard about Dutch ovens, (I see some of you running for google), but this one takes the cake ... or should I say mince pies!

This is where the phrase baked to a crisp in an understatement.  Luckly Rebecca is a Mail Artist and can save the day.  Great Mail Art.  The text…

Katerina Nikoltsou: The day after and Erni's Christmas leftovers

A double wammy from Katerina upon my return from Holiday travels.  Yes, the 22nd of December did arrive in the end, however just in case, I noticed that Katerina mailed this one on the 20th of December, where as the Erni Christmas leftovers was mailed on the 19th of December.  Does this mean that Katerina ate all Erni's goodies before Christmas?  Post marks never lie, but it was all worth it in the name of Mail Art.…
