Mail art valentine

Kat proved that she is a real pro at keeping track of dates and acting on them in her amazing birthday mailings for Guido's Birthday Mania.  I received a slew of birthday mail art but I was not alone.  It was at  least a 365 of birthdays! I made a stab at doing a few, but why should mail art be any different;  I'm just not a follower of dates… so Kat's mailings are that much more special for me!

I don't know how many valentines Katerina sent out but I am very pleased to be one of the lucky recipients! The graphic nature of this valentine seems just right and the stamps and stamping are fun.  Many thanks Kat!

a packet of treasures from Laurence Gillot!

A wonderful surprise arrived in my letter box yesterday!  I sent Laurence a silly little book about a year ago and received this in reply!  I will enjoy going through my treasures and it sparks an idea for a few days I'm spending in a school for World Book Day .  Visit Laurence's mail art page: http://lo-post.tumblr.com and google her and look at her life as a writer of children's books!

Pia Brandt's haptic mail art

Pia Brandt has a distinctive style - that's lucky because it helped me to identify this unsigned piece. It has a timeless quality that I associate with women and their under garments, or maybe the sky?  What do you see in it?

Carina's secret journal

Carina and I have been exchanging journals.  Mine was experimental and reflected on a period of time, but was only a day's worth of thoughts. Carina sent me a big fat beauty which I can't tell you anything about. I am sworn to secrecy. Since this packaging made its way through the post, visible to prying eyes, I thought you might like to see what the postman saw. Thank you Carina, it is wonderful to have an insight into the life of this Finish artist and I will be responding soon.

Suus clarifies - THIS is mail art

Whenever someone tells me (unequivocally) how to think, I bristle.  Here Suus does it in such a way that I smile!  There is certainly a case that anything can be mail art… This definately is, although I have an urge to do something to it to make it into a coaster so it is used and appreciated!  Thank you Suus.

another iconic Jon Foster tape transfer!

I think Jon's card goes this way, but according to the addressed side, it goes this way.

Love the circular tape used here.  And I think I am sure that that serious pout is Ali. If so, think about his initials MA. mail art, maillot -  Vispo.
