I trust you will enjoy Aristide 3108's beautiful concept, drawing and presentation. I wonder whether Keith's mailbox ephemera is the inpsiration for this encarted?

Elixers, Ox and Mazola


In this lucky dip from David Stafford, I am provided with all that is needed for a happy year of the ox (thank you Patti). the bottle of Professor Edmund's Elixir of Life is a haptic wonder and relates to the Mazola bottle. I love a ridged bottle!

I also love a salad and a saute and the colour yellow!

Another key ingredient to a smorgasbord mailart, for me, is political commentary. 

Finally, celebratory mail art is always great.  Delighted to receive this (annual) hand-silkscreened Chinese New Year from David's partner, Patti! Fabulous!

Thanks David!

Year of the Ox - Year of the Cure

As I filed my mail art, recently, I had to add two cartons to spread out my alphabetised folders and to add some new ones.  I have about thirty mail artists who have their own folder, otherwise, most letters get a folder and some have more than one. The metal that holds the folders in place bends and the folders collapse and then i know it's time to add a folder.  

Tofu has his own folder.  He has sent me some wonderful stuff over the years and I am delighted to have this mailing from him, commemorating the Year of the Ox and masks!  You can see more of tofu's work here: http://tofuart.com
