I knew exactly who it was from when I saw it in my P.O. Box.
Quirky. Imaginative. Unique!
Here's a recent piece of Mail Art I received from Martha Miller! It's part of her current Mailart 365 series.
The front side!
The one she gave me was titled "Bad cakes and exploding doughnuts."
How fitting!
Close-up detail (oh my!)
Martha took red pastel paper and cut it into the shape of a head, stitching various overlapping images on top. The Mail Art's size is roughly 9 3/4" x 9 3/4".
Initially I had wanted to scan this on my scanner instead of using my camera but the head was too big and wouldn't fit!
*blushes*
The backside!
Funny pictures throughout adorned with random words. Even bits of glitter were added for extra sparkle!
Close-up detail (so bad but in a good way!)
Thank you, Martha! I love it!!
Now I suddenly have a taste for a thick piece of cake!

I didn't understand what head was too big at first.
Wow, that is awesome. So creative!
That's excellent! Killer job, Martha!
Love it! What a cool concept. Now I know what I'm making this weekend.
I'll have to check her site out in more detail once my computer isn't being annoying lol. And I have started collaging (sp?) in my journal again. If I get some great inspiration I will have to send it to you! I had a dirty joke about the head but I'm sure they have crossed your mind already lol. Glad she brightened your day! :)
I'd prefer to have a taste of this cute naked man..ahem :) cool card

You're welcome, Dean! You wanted something rated X - this is naked mail! Glad it made you smile :^)
love it!
P.S. yes, that is andy gibb. but do you recognize the other guy? (willie aames- he played tommy on the 70's sitcom, eight is enough).
these pics came from "bad cakes" - a now defunct zine made by two portland, maine artists.
I'm laughing my butt off! I'm surprised the post office didn't black out the front side. And your last line just made me laugh....just don't forget a big glass of milk with that thick piece of cake! LOL!
