Mail-Art Cafe

Yes she was

DON'T GET ME WRONG
IF I'M LOOKING KIND OF DAZZLED
I SEE NEON LIGHTS WHENEVER YOU WALK BY
DON'T GET ME WRONG
IF YOU SAY "HELLO" AND I TAKE A RIDE
UPON A SEA WHERE THE MYSTIC MOON
IS PLAYING HAVOC WITH THE TIDE
DON'T GET ME WRONG ..........

Vacation-time in the Cafe. Seems like that. Everybody is enjoying their vacation time?

Yep...at the seaside for sure until August 15, as most Italians and French vacation

, too! but, have MacBook...will post:-) Enjoy what remains of a beautiful summer!

Vacation ha! I'm working flat out! My wonderful time in Iceland is now just a fond memory... yesterday I finished putting together the CD with 125 of the best of this years crop of Iceland photos, Kate your copy of the CD was dropped in the post box today.

Does anyone know the inches size for the A.S.Popov call on Space? It is 35x25 cm. Not in an envelope seems very large and on cardboard.

Thanks Susan, I guess it means I have to send it in a large flat envelope so it doesn't get folded up.

It would go to Russia but I do not think I am doing it.

Great studio space, rod, me is waiting for that CD! Yeah! Thanks a lot.
And about that Space mail art call: 35 X 25 cm / 14 X 10 inches does seem like a large size cardboard mailing. I would put it in a large envelope with those plastic bubbles, BUT the mail art call says definitely NOT in envelope :-(
My Greek postal clerks will not agree to send it, they always frown at me and say they will not take reponsibility if the "art" gets damaged.
I think the "Space" mail art exhibit in Russia wishes to have the art and the cancelled postage to be on the exhibited piece, probably will be hung and turning....from what I remember of the first Popov exhibit, it will be in a huge exhibition/communication hall.

They have had great exhibits but the size has always been easy to send.

Chocolate Salame. Anyone?

Yep. Here it is.

Thank you! :)

soon Cafe will be a "teahouse"...on Tuesday :-)
August Full Moon coming soon

Lunch today with Susan and Judy great crabcakes and burgers.

Love the dragon railing outside the cafe.

:-) and the railing over the Greek village cafe,too

Everyone is welcome to come and join us mail artists

We'll go to a CAFE afterwards?
Bring your art, artistamps, ATC...your IUOMA cap,
your FLUXUS T-shirt, your Art DeTox bag...whatever!
See you there?

Currently suffering a mind block. I can't create mail art. I don't feel inspired. I'm gonna cry and send my tears through mail...

Maybe you're right. I'll see what I can do tomorrow. :)

Eduardo, please stop crying! There are sparks coming out of my keyboard and your tear drops are staining the polished wood of my desktop.

Flood!!!!!!

Oh lord Judy! Not you too? It's like the monsoon season here at my work desk!

I did my Facebook performance today:
1. Delete your facebook account.
2. Enjoy the world outside and the millions of inspiring things it has to offer.
3. Repeat point 2.

::)

Eat your fruits and vegetables

Enjoy the architecture

I doubt if I could stop doing mail art it is wonderful and interesting and a challenge when someone gives you a theme a size and an address! Oh well, it is interesting and fun!

I LOVE mail art, myself! I post all that I receive on my blog...

if you want to look. It is scattered through the archives...

Check out Shirley Hathaway's album on my page and Adamandia's.
We were a "tiny" group but BIG on enthusiasm in Chicago!
IUOMA met Art DeTox....and we had a
mail art exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago~
(we also had lunch there, too!)

Back in action, mates! I've just started to send some tears to the world.

I'm all exorcised! Now I can't stop thinking about mail art! ::) (Extra Joy!)

(the egg by Marie-Claire Krell)

Good morning everyone!

Also good morning!

It's almost elevenses here, still AM, Good Morning!

ah winter draws nigh and evening is upon us, time to prepare the meal of the day, a starter of sliced tomato and mozerella cheese followed by rice, carrots and vegetarian schnitzels with saté sauce, please excuse me whilst I wend my way to the kitchen.
Chantal, I have missed you, would you care to join us for dinner?

... and, by the way... anyone got a good recipe for pumpkin, I love it roasted in the oven with olive oil or as soup but there must be some other way to prepare delicious/nutricious?

I am coming Chantal, I love pumpkin in anything, curry too with pumpkin.

Perhaps dear ladies we should have a virtual banquet, my garden produced enough pumpkins to feed.... 5000... virtually. I have a real cupboard downstairs that is full to overflowing with the jellies I made this year, Blackberry and Apple (superb), Quince (sublime flavour), Tay berry and finally Wocesterberry (however that is supposed to be spelled) but I have to admit that pumpkin jam recipe looks tempting, however because of the stock in cupboard I will pass on it this year... curry eh? and a whole page of recipes, thanks and thanks again.

..and pumpkin pie,
I am coming for the feast, Rod, and Chatal, and Judy, and Susan and Elizabeth, and Ruud, and Eduardo, and everyone...

Make pumpkin butter, like apple butter, almond butter it is a different consistency than jams, preserves and jellies and spreads on breads, cakes etc. Wonderful stuff!

Pumpkin goodies and it's almost halloween... :D NICE! Should we make a virtual banquet? HAHAHA!

Treat Pumpkin as you would apples.
Pumpkin in slices, not too fat, laid out in a pie crust. Add all the butter sugar and the usual cinnnemamon and other pumpkin spices. Maybe they should be mixed into the P slices Before they meet the crust.

Caveat: I seldom cook however the results are surprisingly successful since I make them up from what I've eaten, r have around, or just like a lot such as pumpkin.
