Event Description

Eliane is my granny old mother. She lives alone, she finds the time very long and I think art mail in her mailbox would bring her a lot of joy and amazement.
When she was young, she enjoyed fishing. Also, I suggest you send her fishes ! From sea, river ...
I will answer, myself, with pleasure all your mail art!

Format and freestyle.
Dates: autumn and winter 2012.

Des poissons pour mamie Eliane !

Mamie Eliane, c’est ma vieille maman. Elle vit seule, s’ennuie un peu et je crois que des mail-art dans sa boîte lui apporteraient beaucoup de joie et d’étonnement.
Quand elle était jeune, elle aimait pêcher. Aussi, je vous propose de lui adresser des poissons ! De mer, de rivière …
C’est moi qui répondrai, avec plaisir, à chacun de vos envois !

Format et technique libre.
Dates : automne et hiver 2012.

Frische Fische für Oma Eliane,

Oma Eliane ist meine liebe alte Mutter. Sie lebt alleine und langweilt sich etwas. Daher bin ich sicher, dass sie sich sehr über ein mail-arts in ihrem Briefkasten freuen würde.
Als sie jung war, ging sie gerne angeln. Deswegen schlage ich vor, dass Ihr ihr Fische schicken könntest. Meeresfische, Süsswasserfische ...
Ich werde dann mit Freude auf Eure Briefe antworten.

Thank you ! Laurence

Comment by Amy Irwen on December 4, 2012 at 10:01pm: Thank you Laurence and Granny Eliane...received my thankyou! such a treat getting this in the mail...the hand is a very original idea...

Love the idea of using the fish for the name....

have also sent another fish, but just so you know it is OK not to send via mail a response for receipt; postage must be CRAZY for you...just send message or comment and I will be happy *!*

enjoy and thank you !

Comment by Amy Irwen on November 16, 2012 at 4:25pm: Hi Laurence....I am sending another piece to Ms. Eliane...I hope we are making her days brighter *!*

Comment by Christine Coppa on October 31, 2012 at 12:42am: Thank you to Granny Elaine for her hand of kindness. I hope she continues to enjoy all the eclectic and artful fishes......

Comment by Amy Irwen on October 29, 2012 at 5:07pm: Here is my fishy...

Comment by Amy Irwen on October 29, 2012 at 1:39pm: Dean, I love those old fashioned candies...have you ever had a houre hound? My Nana always had them at her house and I loved them.

They were a hard candy, root beery brown in color with a light coating of sugar something on them. The taste is indescribable but I loved them. My brothers thought I was nuts *!*

Comment by Dean aka Artist in Seine on October 29, 2012 at 8:35am: Amy, It is a good idea to attached a request for a Kit Kat, Hershey's bar, or M&M's. Otherwise you will get in return hard rock candy, the same that my grandmother use to give to me when I was little. Thoses were the days ... before Mail Art!

I'm working on my second piece to send, and hope to get a package of prunes as a reply. Life is wonderful !

Comment by Amy Irwen on October 28, 2012 at 2:31pm: My fish went in the mail yesterday!

Comment by Amy Irwen on October 26, 2012 at 7:03pm: What a wonderful thing Laurence! I will be glad to send something to Ms. Eliane *!*

Comment by Dean aka Artist in Seine on October 25, 2012 at 6:50pm: The hand that feed the fish world. Thank you for the candy and hand. Dean

Comment by Louise Kiner on October 13, 2012 at 12:42am: Sending some Canadian fishes!
