Ms. Roz

I can't hold it in, just have to share!!

I am now the proud owner of an antique Rosback perforator.

Cannot stop smiling!

Bid for it on ebay and it became mine. It is located in Massachusetts. Lucky for me, I have an Uncle who lives less than 2 hours away from the letterpress studio where I bought it from. He is willing to pick it up for me and store it until I can arrange shipping.

AHHHHHH! What a great day today is.

I'll post some pics so you can drool along with me:

Things I Wish I Brought Home from the Antique Store...

There are always items that I hate to leave behind at the antique stores. So, I console myself by taking a picture. If I could have all the things, I would add these:

Peeps Photo Project

I was kindly sent an invitation from Cascadia Artpost to participate in his new mail art project: 

Peeps Photo Project

It was a lovely surprise package in my mailbox yesterday. 

I am eager to get started photographing these weetle peeples!!

Mailart Mission Accomplished!

I have had a long-time goal of being included on Brain Cell Issue #888.

Well, my penfriends, I made it!!

My rubber stamp design was included in Issue #888 in the upper left-hand corner in a pretty teal/blue ink.
"Flemina Island PMP-008, with palm frond".

 PMP = Postal Modern Permit

With the frequent mail I sent Mr. Cohen's way, I also was on Issue #887.

Above: My rubber stamp self-portrait, My "BLA" hand-carved stamp, AND my Infinite Network stamp were all included in green ink on the bottom left-hand side. Also included was the "Flemina Island PMP-008" in orange ink towards the middle-right. 

A pleasant surprise that the artistamp I designed for Vittore Baroni's GAC call for submissions (which was put on the documentation cover!) was included in green ink on the bottom right-hand corner. This must have trailed in on someone else's mail. How fun!

Brain Cell #885 included my small return address stamp at the tippitytop in pink ink.

 This so totally made my mail art week/month/year!

Do YOU have any current or future mail art goals?

Recently played with photos from an outing to a Florida State park (Washington Oaks). This is the result, which I made into a mini-zine: Purple Planet Poetry
