here is my contribution to Mark Hammond's Nothing Man Project, along with the envelope he sent the card in. do check out the site. it is fascinating what people have done with this simple, provocative image.

i finally tracked down who i sent this card to - last month! it went to someone i found on the Random ATC Exchange who goes by "Join 1".

i'm starting to experiment more with variations on the "dot" work that you can see here. i find using old book pages for the backgrounds for these and for printing quite inspiring...

Carve Your Own

i just completed a hosted swap at ATCards Forum that required participants to carve their own stamp(s) and then create ATCs with them. it was great fun with a lot of sharing about techniques and supplies. it was very inspiring and i'm now thinking of starting a thread on that site that is exclusive to hand-carved, printed ATCs. here are the returns from that swap and a sample card from one of the participants.

kent turner, with whom i swapped back in May, created this. it's a nice card. is this his inspiration? you can see his blog here.

Day of the Dead is coming...

...and here are my cards for a swap at ATCards Forum.

from Victoria Koldewyn

this (not an ATC) was included with cards for a Carve Your Own swap i'm hosting at ATCards forum. its the Magician from a tarot series Victoria is working on.

from Russell Manning

received this one quite a while back, before i started organizing my mail art, and just ran across it again.

from Jim Leftwich

no images :(

i've received some new mailart that i would like to post but having trouble uploading images to Blogger. please check back later.

more than child's play

two great new additions to my collection from b.jordan

recent additions

i just received this wonderful art doll card from Margaret Baxter. she wanted one of my cards and i agreed to a trade without seeing this card first. it was certainly worth the risk. i love it.


below is a card made by Laura Booth. it was one i received in a themed swap called "Inside Out". i think it's very nice and i'm still trying to figure out how she did it!

finally some studio time!

after working for about four fridays in a row, i finally had yesterday off!

these went off in today's mail:

i get a kick out of collecting the Free PostCards you find in those racks in restaurants. here are some i have altered and sent to Postcardx members.

from Tim Scannell

Tim sent me some delightful bird stamps...


and several of his poems, including this one i especially like...

from Lezbag

this envelope contained a couple of cool ATCs that you can see here.
