You - from Katerina Nikoltsou

[Marie Wintzer]

The Eisbär brought me some great Gotij Goat Cheese from Katerina (love that stamp, btw). On corrugated cardboard, clouds and earth are only one and they have the warm texture of paper pulp. The very sober YOU amongst the trees turns it into a very powerful vispo piece, in my opinion. Katerina, I now know that you are possibly ever a better Vispoet than you are a Sandpoet, thank you for this very beautiful card!

[Thom Courcelle]

Aha! Another loverly creation from Katerina!  I can see this was your number 535, Katerina.  And the one you sent me was number 534... which means that I was in your thoughts in the good company of Marie when you made our pieces!!

and sweet Cheryl -- I'm a little distressed that no Goat Cheese fruit flies are pestering your mailbox, as I was sure to send you some samples.  In fact, I sent you TWO mailings in mid-December that I was hoping you'd have gotten by now.  Alas, some of my past correspondence took quite some time to get to your address, so we'll keep our fingers crossed that these latest are still on their way...  (Is there a goddess of expedient mail to whom we can light a candle and say a prayer?) 

[Nancy Bell Scott]

You're nice to reveal your sources, Katerina, but remember we are all using items we didn't necessarily make. It's what we do with them that makes our art, yes? Besides, you provided the YOU, and that's what hit a bunch of us most of all. (Thanks Marie, I slept 10 hours, almost unheard-of, so apparently the YOU haunts only during daytime! :--)  And yah, Cheryl, that sentence has to mean either you're a rocket scientist or you got zero sleep.

[Marie Wintzer]

OK it's a common effort in this case! You took the best and made it yours, Katerina.

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Ah, thank you for the kind words, dearies. But let the truth be known:

The GOTIJ Goat Cheese stamp is from Thom Courcelle. 

The beautiful pulp papers are from Nancy Bell Scott

The "EIS" (ice? Polar Bear) carton cardboard is from my green grocer.

Oh, ok, I stamped the winter trees...and YOU.

Think peaceful, calm, setting-winter-sun-behind-soft-clouds thoughts, Marie xx

[Marie Wintzer]

Thank you girls! That's some GREAT sentence there, Cheryl!

Someone once sent me cheese from France, it took one week to arrive (room temperature) and I won't say more... ;-))

[Svenja Wahl]

Beautiful!!

I am a trifle relieved that no-one is posting goats cheese here. It would NOT survive the journey in this heat. I think it would be its own scientifically studyable symbiotic cosmology with incumbent interplanetary solar system composed of fruit flies. A piece of vispo is FAR more preferable :-) X

[Marie Wintzer]

Yes, the YOU is somewhat.... haunting? But sleep tight Nancy!

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Lovely, and the "you" is so provocative; it might even prevent sleep tonight.
