Mail Art Monday: December Catchup

November 18, 2012 in Mail Art, Slideshow

It’s been a while since my last Mail Art Monday post, and I’ve had a lot of catching up to do! Work commitments have left me with no time to blog, but I did steal some minutes to post out some Mail Art over the past month, and together with the masses of wonderful mail I’ve received I have LOTS to show you! Please forgive me for not writing much about some of these – they are all VERY appreciated, and I have enjoyed receiving and studying them all. But, y’know, it’s Christmas Eve, and there’s a lot to get through. So [...]

Mail Art Monday: Wonder Roadkill

September 17, 2012 in Mail Art, Slideshow

Welcome to another Mail Art Monday! OUTGOING Lindsay Stewart‘s (Canada) first postcard to me showed a sense of humour similar to my own, so I sent this reply off to her hoping that she’d see the funny side! Lynn Radford (USA) received a rather happy looking bee – and why wouldn’t he be happy?! Look at all those flowers! Martha W Bush received this bright ‘Quiet tonight’ postcard. And finally Alicia Starr (USA) was the recipient of this postcard based on a cartoon strip called ‘Yobs’. INCOMING New friend Judy Staroscik (USA) sent a cute stripy envelope full of treasures from Judy, a new [...]

Mail Art Monday: Zombie Feet

September 10, 2012 in Mail Art, Slideshow

Hello! Here we are, another Monday, which means more mail art! OUTGOING Arriving at new homes this week … Janine Weiss received this package filled with Arty Slides, collages, a sketch and some art supplies. Meanwhile, Amy Irwen received this first BuddyJam ATC, while I kept the second for my own collection. You can see the ATCs as they were, when Amy sent them my way in this post. Last week I announced that Zombie Kitty Kawaii! had arrived for her stay here in Wales. She was a little neglected during the week – accompanying me to work she had to amuse [...]

Mail Art Monday: Quiet Times

May 23, 2012 in Mail Art, Slideshow

Well, it’s been a bit of a lonely place in my mailbox this week, with only one (yes ONE) incoming piece. *sigh* Luckily that piece is a bit special, so it’s kept my spirits up through the mail art drought. And a few pieces from me reached their destinations, so there should be enough to keep you amused until things pick up again… OUTGOING Katerina Nikoltsou requested an embroidered card from me some time ago, and I told her I would make one just for her as soon as I found the right image. This week she finally received my [...]

Mail Art Monday: Super Warewolves

April 2, 2012 in Mail Art, Slideshow

It’s been another busy week for the postal service around the world, and I’ve had many ‘Good Mail Days’. OUTGOING I started the week off with a big MIAOW for Erni Bär, made from an old ad. It got a bit battered on its way over to Germany… maybe someone dared to try and put the cat back in the bag and a claw fight to the death ensued. You never know. A reply went out to Jim SantAmour in the US, who sent a photograph postcard to me a couple of weeks ago. I made this postcard out of the same ad as the [...]
