Cristina Blank aka 5 Blanks: The German Goblin of Worthsee

I'm sure you all heard about the legend of the German Goblin of Worthsee. Some say he lives at the bottom of the lake of the same name. Others say he lives in an attic somewhere on Im Grund street. Others just don't believe the tale of how this creature comes out only on full moon nights and paints the strangest paintings you have ever seen. So strange that they are…

Sarah Waldron: Something from outter Space

Actually it came from Sarah Waldron in the UK. At first glance it has that Star Wars / Trek feel to it. However when you start getting into the details, I am drawn into it. Right now it sits on my desk and I turn it from side to side every once in a while. Yes I know that Sarah wants me to look at it this way, however it works well from which ever way you look at…

Sarah Waldon: Snake

My very first Waldon masterpiece. It's exciting to match the name to the work. Well actually there were two mail art pieces in the same envelope, but I can't spoil you all in one day. You'll have to wait until Saturday morning.

Also an add n'pass piece was enclosed. I'm not to good at add and pass as I never use an envelope. However I happen to be meeting another…

Two years in the making this little gem (2.5 inches x 3.5 inches) finally washes up on the shore of Paris. I love the sparkles & the title.

Katerina Nikoltsou: Christmas Cracker

Only five and a half months to go and my first Christmas cracker arrived. Why aren't they real crackers?, you might ask. Well, it don't know. Photos of crackers must be hard to come by whereas real crackers you can just buy in a store.…
