I was ecstatic to receive this envelope from Marie. It says, "Hi DK You have so many TrashBooks, I thought you needed a TrashBookmark. (The other piece is data collected from my mice, cells in the brain that are active during a memory task. Maybe Trash...) I couldn't believe I might be the first and only recipient of original Marie Wintzer Trashpo!!

I know Trashpo isn't her favorite thing, but she has made a fantastic bookmark and such a great idea. I would never have thought of that. Elements I can see are:  Cheeseburger wrapper ( I see you eat much like DVS), bus or train ticket, creepy mouse wires -coated and uncoated, receipts, paper clip, creepy lab sterlization thingie, Hello Kitty stationary with handwritten note, candy wrapper, dry cleaning tag?, luggage tag

It deserves a much more elegant background, but hey, it's trashpo. She has sealed the whole thing in some kind of gel medium looking adhesive.

And here's the creepy Mouse Data on transparency

This hints to be some kind of subliminal mind control being done on these meese=made me think of those rumors about playing albums backwards. I doubt the mice are thinking anything close to Worship songs unless they are about to be 'sacrificed' , but then Marie would know. 

Thanks Marie, I'm honored. The bookmark promised a 'love poem inside' but I will never tear it apart. Thank you!!!!! Hope there is more to come:)

yes! sorry it's not warm and cozy, it's more for keeping things cold and frosty:)

Marie, I take pictures of all my mail art on our Coleman cooler in which our milk is delivered. Classy, I know.:)

Never heard of a coleman but I trust you, is it something warm and cosy? Because it's freezing here.

Yip, already a slice of history. Recipient of the TrashPo Litzer Prize. And Coleman 2.

LOL, yes my studio lightbox--the coleman milk bottle cooler. It's actually a new one so it's been upgraded!!

Cheryl and that sharp eye!  When you make it to the Coleman, you know you have MADE IT!   Congratulations, Marie!   And, I always adore that touch of red - wire or thread.  A touch of elegance.

Glad you like it, girls. You'll be proud of me, I did resist the temptation of a red thread. It's a red.... wire!
