I started Nov. 07, sending a work for a call from Greece (by Georgia Gregoriadou). My best friend was the one who insisted me in participating. I didnt realized what was it about (all the mail art thing...) I thought it was just an exhibit over seas...
The funny thing is that when I learn about Mail Art, I just love it, but my friend instead, didnt want to participate anymore... I only wish I did know before about Mail Art, because is inspirational!

typos are a terror and the unfortunate result of narrow space, especially the narrow space between my ears. Of course this is really just an excuse when the truth is my spelling is rubbish and albeit Ruud (bless him) has provided us with a fascinating platform it lacks a spelling checker. I suppose if I wanted to be really pedantic I would write in WORD then copy and paste but methinks that this method would take away the spontanaity (wow how to spell that word!?) I am very happy to be talking to such royalty (of course you are an Empress Chantal I sussed that out quick time) especialy royalty that has such a liberal spreading of life experience. Art and being an artist is a great palliative to life's bitter moments, we are indeed privileged to have such a relief/release.
Dream on, I'll be with you when you look.

Rod, please excuse the typos, I have a hard time reading what I write in this narrow space.

Hi Rod, I am 2 times divorced, my first died in a robbery attempt when he was in New Mexico opperating his amature radio set. It was part of a serial murder. My daughter now 41, was devastated, she was 2 when he left and 17 when he died. She never got to really meet him. My last is an attorney in his own practice and my son from with him. This was 16 years ago and I am fine. I have been an artist since 10 and now 62 next week. I won all sorts of junior competitions and went to art school and college where I graduated with honors in the arts. My last thought that it was not necessary for me to pursue my art and should work in a "regular" job, so after 22 years of marriage when it was finally my time to do my thing I had my funds cut off and I simply walked out and sued him for damages and won. Now I had had many exhibitions all over the place, in some museums, mail arted the world and sold a few works and also sold mailart as framed miniatures and am having a ball. I can lose my child to divorce, but not my soul.

My dear lady J, how are you today? Hmmm! I'm a true blue, green tea drinking, 3 times married, atheist Englishman living in the Netherlands and who has a passion for Iceland. My son (from my first marriage) talks to me as does my grandson.
Did I mention I love Iceland?
Judy Skolnick is a cool name, you were right to switch. I have to admit I am mostly suspicious of people who hide behind a pseudonym although there are exceptions when said pseudonym is apt and clever... said pseudonym... quite like that.
Divorce especially nasty divorce is a traumatic event, I hope you have managed to lick the wounds clean and are ready to either kick the arse or open welcoming arms to the speechless sibling. It is Saturday and the sun shines. best greetings. Did I mention...??? Oh yes...

Rise as in get up hopefully gracefully. Queen Chantal and Lady J are our personal tiles for each other. My mailart name 9 years ago was big bad mama. I had a lot of trouble with my mail in DC so I went to my real name. In event you ask, I am white, divorced, 5'2" with kids one who doesn't speak to me due to a nasty divorce I won, and grandkids

is that arise as in 'a hay and hup she rises'?
or
my Mars® bar has a coating of white mould rising?

we need to know this before the investiture can be obligated or not?
Queen Chantal... has a nice ring about it... but doesn't Can a dada already have a female monarch? Or am I mistaking it for a polar bear on acid? It's Saturday tomorrow that for some is some kind of thrum.
