Skull Appreciation Day 2012

I have been feeling so badly about not posting the entries from the 2012 Skull appreciation day Mail Art exhibit. BUT I'm finally getting to it, and if you entered last year, please check the blog to see if yours has been posted yet. I'm doing a few at a time because I have a shared scanner these days. I'll get them all up soon, because the 2013 event is coming up soon. You can prepared for it and once I have the details, I'll post them and you can enter your skull!

Special Collections - Virginia Commonwealth University

On display at VCU library right now - work by people we "know" from our Mail Art and Fluxus communities. I was surprised and delighted to see it. I've posted photos on my photo page.

My other blogs

I have two blogs that I blog on regularly. One is for my Mail Art and for other things in my life - nothing really personal, however, as I like to keep things personal. I have lots of images of my trips, mainly our artist residencies in Paris. They were always so meaningful in terms of being able to create work. Also, I got to visit with Dean, Andy, Elena, and Positively Postal early in 2012. The other is my recipe blog. I was going to put my Mail Art on it but ended up using it for my…

My day

Katerina asked why my birthday is not on the IUOMA birthday "list" and I have no answer for that, other than, I never knew where or how to do that. But today is MY day, or at least for me it is. I've been swimming in a salt water pool this morning, and had coffee and a blueberry scone in my own back yard, and am going to post images of some of my favorite things on my blogger blog. What a day, so far. How's YOUR day going?

Any one else with a 2 July birthday?

(from Richmond,…

Burnt Books

Nextbook Press is proud to announce a call for Mail Art to celebrate the publication of Burnt Books: Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav and Franz Kafka, by Rodger Kamenetz.

Burnt Books is an evocative theme conjuring all kinds of imagery of loss and ephemera, memory, and the sharing of stories at a time when we are on the eve of dramatic changes in how words themselves are passed on and stories told. Conflicting perceptions on the meaning of ”death of print,” losses within the publishing… Continue
