There's always mail art....

Almost every day I get some wonderful little surprise in the mail.  The most recent was from Cuan Miles in South Africa.   He is a cartoonist with a South African newspaper.


Butterfly Mind - Cuan Miles
 
I LOVE this collage,  You can see more of his work here: http://africartoons.com/cartoonist/miles

Terrie Purkey of the USA is another friend who sends me delightful collages every so often.  She has an insatiable appetite for learning more about art, and is constantly doing workshops to that end.  Over the time I've known her, her work has really grown in depth and execution.

Enchanted Bird - Terrie Purkey


Open Hearts - Terrie Purkey

....and ATCs arrive more often than anything else....

Lisa  Weber - South Africa

Cathy Calamas - USA


Pam Prosser - Australia


Marion Bockelmann - Germany


Pattie McClimans -  USA

Soon my collages from the International Collage Exchange will be here.  I look forward to sharing them with you.

    I used to do a lot of mail art (and wrote my dissertation on the subject), it was always wonderful to receive beautiful art in the mail!

    These are gorgeous!

    Lucky you must have a wonderful collection of mail.
    I once asked my postal carrier if she minded carrying all the mail art people sent me. She said, not in the least. She confessed to actually pulling it out for others along the route to see!
    Happy week to you, Jo.
