Received from Jen Staggs, USA--Haptic mail art that really pops

Jen has sewn a piece of bubble wrap inside a handmade fabric envelope and I can't stop popping it. This is a great haptic AND audio piece. Jen's sewing abilities never cease to amaze me. I"m mightily impressed that she sewed the Gene Autry stamp on and that the postal service gave it the go ahead. It's super to see how the idea of haptic poetry and art inspires and challenges mail artists toward new frontiers. This one is a wowzer. Thanks, Jen!!

Comment by Jen Staggs on November 23, 2010 at 3:36am: If you give her a sniff, she might still smell of fresh baked cookies...I added a bit of essential oil to one corner...just the right smell for a housewife. Eau de huswifery...
