Burnt out and not sticking around

This is a piece of Artist Insane Mail Art I got the other day. Eleven burnt out graduates. Or are they? ... Well, I don't know about you, but I'm counting one! What ever happened to the 10 other fellows? 

My investigations led me to the original card as it was sent out, and it looks like those chaps went on a voyage of discovery alright! Makes you wonder. Did they all leave at once, or are the they scattered between Paris and Wakoshi like Tom Thumb's bread crumbs? Who's the boss of them? Why did the fat one decide to stay? Such an interesting piece of mail art and great visual poetry as well! Thank you Dean! (and maybe that glue stick has expired?).

Hurrah! I got the cat I've always wanted! (and he teaches me yoga) (oh and he's introverted too)

Mail art goodies

My mail art activities have now come to a complete standstill but I amazingly still receive the best goodies from my favourite people. I wanted to show you a few of them and to thank you for keeping in touch even when I'm not sending anything out! All of this made me smile and laugh and giggle, you are very talented artists and I'm the usual lucky cookie. I sure am.

A wonderful amended Hokusai from David Stafford, this is what happens before Marie's head explodes, LOL!! (he even got the colours of my jacket and scarf right. Amazing).

Artist Insane Dean needs some fresh air but it seems he doesn't mind the smell of goat cheese. Alright then, chèvre it is. But not just any chèvre. Chèvre-la-Pointe or nothing! On est gourmet...

"So how was your day?" is SO not a rhetorical question, I found out by reading Cheryl's free verse poem. A fantastic read, as is all of Chery'l work, needless to say.

Carina sent such an elegant diptych, I love the composition, colours and textures. And below, a stunning visual poem (sorry for the prominent folds, my scanner is on strike and has been replaced by a camera). Simply beautiful, Carina.

Patti and Dave's latest effort arrived just on time for Christmas, thanks you two! You look so peachy. Aren't we all getting warmer and warmer....

This one is from a few months ago and cost me to lose my favourite barcode art piece (the barcode sink) after a disastrous Facebook bid. Well, I didn't exactly lose it, I got 1Euro for it and it's now somewhere safe in a Finnish forest close to a Finnish lake where it is protected from mosquitoes. So there.

Rebecca Guyver sends a beautiful stitched and painted card and a collaborative boekie. So much visual poetry!

This one is from RCBz. I like it so much I'm thinking of asking him to design the logo for Bijou Caillou who's in desperate need of one.

And more from David (I told you I was spoiled). I love the Authentic Lone envelope, and the dinette, yea, tell me about it, it's all the rage in Japan now and my in-laws insist I should get one. No way.

I said no to the dinette but I quite fancy the small bull calibrator. My birthday is May 16 :-))

Et la cerise sur le gâteau, barcodes now have their own airline!! Barcode Air! OMG. Now that's a cool logo there! :-)) Are they flying to Tokyo? Say they do! I sure have the barcode illness but I'm flying first class so who cares. I'm sure they serve Chèvre crackers.

Arigatoo my friends! And happy new year to all of you!
