Mail Art inspired by an Orange Crush bottle
The bottle is a time traveler. The bottle is the message.

Bookcase Collages
As I was gluing, I kept thinking about how my entire life has always had walls of books in the background. When I was 5 years old, we moved into a Victorian house with a large living room with built-in bookcases. They were 16 feet wide and all the way to the top of the 10-foot ceilings. At that point my parents did not own that many books, yet. My father even bought “filler” books like old encyclopedias at the Goodwill. When we moved to a New England house with less space and lower ceilings, the filler books got left behind, but the TV room still had a full wall of books. My San Francisco apartment is filled with more than 1,000 books. I even worked in an office for many years where every time I looked up from my desk there was a wall of books.
I imagine looking at all these books for all these years might be part of the reason for my latest art obsession.
I am not done yet…

Year of the Snake 🐍
To celebrate the Year of the Snake my latest series of mail art used hand-carved, rubber stamps. Of course, it’s the endangered and beautiful San Francisco Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis tetrataenia). Let’s hope the snake can bring us peace and harmony and rid us of all those unwanted pests. Happy New Year!

Books, Books and more Books
I always like doing book-themed work and my latest series is using various ink and book-shaped rubber stamps.
While still keeping myself informed, I also have cut way back on news, especially the mainstream, compliant, corporate media. I have stopped watching almost all TV news. And the good news is more time to read books. BOOKS! Keeping reading and stay sane.
