    Karen, wow, I just got you're wonderful work. (I had to fetch it at the customhouse, and had to open it there to proof that there was no invoice included. The clerk wanted me to tell her how much this piece is worth!! What could I tell her? We agreed on a value of 5 Euros in avoidance of a fee for me to pay. - It was fun explaining her what this mail art is all about, don't know if she will become a fan or still thinks that we both have to be crazy). Anyway your work is fantastic, I love this little format you sent!! Thanks a lot!

  • Austin Wills James

  • Tomoe N

    Hi I think you sent me mail art again, and got it 2 days ago. Thank you. If it is ok I will email you directly so I don't need to come around IUOMA site.

    Just a thought, you just put your card and a small card. You could use a regular envelope for the cheaper postage fee? Thank you. Tomoe

  • Svenja Wahl

    Karen, nonononono, that is so wonderful what you sent me!!! I absolutely love the photo and the three-dimensionality of the whole piece, thank you very very very much. I just put it on the wall here above my desk! Happy mail day!!!

    :-)))

  • Kim JungYoun

    Dear Karen,

    I got your mail art today.

    I love it.

    Thank you so much.

    I'll send you something soon.

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thank you, Karen. What a beautiful "gold splash" greeting!

  • Cernjul Viviana María

    I Received your Christmas card. Thanks. It's wonderful!

  • Marie Wintzer

    Karen, I got your beautiful Gold Streaks on canevas. Wow, you never cease to amaze, it's really beautiful work! I've sent you something today, but it now looks like a very meager envelope when I see what you did :-( there will be more for you....

  • Jen Staggs

    I received your piece "Once" today and it totally made me tear up.  That is such a powerful story and to receive another chapter in the artistic tale is a true gift.  Thank you for sharing such a bittersweet moment with me.

  • Austin Wills James

    KC,

    Thank you for the "We Are One" piece, it brightened my day immensely. On a side note, I recently picked up a metal cable & clip display system; so that I can admire the various cardboard items you've sent me. Since they're too thick to fit inside the doors of the DVD storage units, in which I've displayed much of the Art I've recieved since joining IUOMA.

    -Austin-

  • Austin Wills James

    KC,

    I've got a piece headed for you today. I was curious if you might want some more music to create by?

    -Austin-

  • Austin Wills James

    KC,

    In that case, I'll include some in an envelope of goodies I'm putting together for you. :)

    -Austin-

  • Austin Wills James

    So relieved to read that it made it to you alright, there was some doubt as to whether that package was too heavy to be mailed from home. I kept expecting to get it back. I hope you enjoy the tunes!

    -Austin-

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thank you, Karen, for the birthday wishes! I have sent a little something in the mail for you for Feb.14th! ;-) All the best, xxx

  • Kim JungYoun

    Hi, Karen!

    I received your artwork today.

    It's so wonderful as always.

    Thank you so much!

    Have a good weekend!

     

  • Marie Wintzer

    Karen, I have sent you something but it might be all stuck together when you get so I apologize in advance if it's a disaster. I have sent something similar to Cheryl and she couldn't do anything about it. I'll send you something else :-((

  • Austin Wills James

    KC,

       Thank you so much for the treasure trove of goodies you sent, everything in it was amazing!

  • Austin Wills James

    Oh, just listening to the rain, working on a drawn/painted piece, waiting for my Soma & Valium to kick in.

    -AWJ-

  • Austin Wills James

    I really hope you enjoyed the CDs I sent, & possibly found some inspiration in them. :)

    -AWJ-

  • Austin Wills James

    No problem at all! Next time I gather enough goodies to justify a bubble mailer, I'll included a couple more for you.  :)

  • Austin Wills James

    KC,

       I mailed out an envelope with some more music, a couple of ATCs, & an Asemic for you today.  :)

    Sure I'll post something for you soon!
  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thanks, Karen, I am glad to hear that it arrived. Some are trying to play it on their CD players, it might work. Then again, the acrylic paint may block the laser. In any case, look at" both sides now" and see a rainbow :-)

  • Susan McAllister

    Thanks for the Red Asemic card. I am so pleased.
  • Lindsay Stewart
