Christine Coppa

Welcome to IUOMA, I will send you something soon by snail mail !

Welcome Christine!

Dear Christine,

Bonjour and Welcome to IUOMA!

It's a great bunch of folks and I hope that you enjoy exchanging Mail Art with us. I'm your Mentor, and if I can help to ease you into IUOMA in any way, then please don't hesitate to ask and I'll try to explain what's going on and how IUOMA works.

If you haven't already done so, I suggest you take a look at the 'New to IOUMA' page (4th from the left at the top of the IUOMA home page) where you'll find a 10-point Introductory Guide that should give you an insight as to what is going on.

You have to get started somewhere, and I wonder if you would like to exchange some Mail Art with me? If so, send me something to 1 Rue de la Vieille Fontaine, F-11130 Sigean, France, and I PROMISE to send you something back.

Hoping you enjoy your IUOMA days.

Regards,

Val Herman

PS please say hello to Claudia for me! Merci

Christine, this is a friendly welcome to The Eternal Network from a celestial mail artist born and raised in a heavenly corner of the faraway universe called Republik van Patland.  A perfect start here is mail-art exchange. I would love to be the other end when you decide it’s the right time for you to start trading art. If it’s the case at the time your envelope should read as follows:

The Celestial Scribe
Caixa Postal 24827
Curitiba-PR
80510-970
Brazil

II look forward to see your piece in my terrene mailbox.  Yes! I will do my homework after receiving yours.  This is nothing less than a celestial promise.  I’m Patricio, Celestial Scribe & Envelope Provider.  LAST: Please send my very best regards to Claudia, she is a frequent traveller to Republik van Patland where we do have celestial mail art trade like the one I propose here 

I'm glad it arrive, I will be waiting anxiously your mail!

Hello New Friend Christine! I hoep you are enjoying IUOMA and getting to understand how it works. If you'd like to exchange some Mail Art, send me something and I will return in kind. Regards from your New Friend Val

Steenie,

I'm so glad to be here too!  Now to post some pictures.  Did you get your mail?

Bonjour Christine!

I just received your incredible compact disc creation, for which many thanks, no, as it contains an Eiffel Tower image, then I can say this in French: merci beaucoup. It's very nice.

Was interested to hear that you enjoyed Claudia's class: I wonder how many of the 2500 or so IUOMA members have ever sat in, let alone given, any sort of Mail Art class? Not too many, I would guess.

I'll be mailing you something back in the next few days -- predominantly Dutch in content, rather than French, as I have just been in Holland for a few days.

Meanwhile my cats, Bianca and Clifford, send my best wishes to Clifford, as I do to you.

Regard, Val

Bonjour!

Paint swatches sounds good. I once got a booklet of fake hair that had been died all sorts of colours to advertise/promote...er, hair dyes. They wxere in swatches too, and I added them to various things.

If you go to my vast, sprawling and totally out of control web-site, www.val-herman-art.eu, then look at Assemblages, then look at Works, about half way thropugh the list you'll seesomething called 'Lady Diane...etc'. There are some hair swatches in that.

Bianca and I are supposed to be doing some painting, but she has too much of the desk, so I'm computing instead.

Au revoir to you and Monsieur Clifford, Val

Thank you!

Want a ride??

Bonjour Christine! Glad you liked the envelope and it's contents. Just to think that a chip fork from Maastricht in the Netherlands has gotten safely to you, and will most proably be passed on to someone else: what an exciting life a chip fork has (sometimes)! Nope, I didn't go to the jazz concert -- I only do rock'n'roll, and yesterday was the 50 anniversary of you know who releasing you know what (or do you?).. Autumn is here, but it's still quite mild (22° forecast for today), and Oranje and I usually go to the beach. Bon weekend, Val

You did your job excellently.  The Philadelphia-Curitiba gap has been bridged.  It´s time for me to keep my promise.  I´ll keep you posted.  Give my best regards to Claudia McGill if you see her.

Hello Christine! Thanks a million for your autumn envelope. It arrived today! I'm going to have turn on my mail art machine and get some mail out to you. Take care.

Hello again! I thought I'd let you know that I blogged about your envie. See it here: http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/happy-halloween-postal... Take it handy and have a great day (;

Bonjour Christine! That's the best Valentine's Day card I've received for a long, long time: thankyou/merci beaucoup!

And how clever of you to turn the fork into a little person, a French one at that by the Eiffel Tower.

Also thanks for the Xmas/New Year greetings -- same to you, and I hope that you have a Happy Easter, too.

The autumn leaf is really colourful. I'm going to put some plastic around it, and use it as a book mark.

Will be sending you something back soon.

Thanks again & regards, Val

Oui! Everything was glued safely together -- fork, faces and hands! Thanks again.

Await your comments, queries, etc on Arty Slides.

Regards, Val

Thanks Christine, I'll see if I can find some empty arty slides and send them to you....and then you can join the  Arty Slides International GroupI'm glad that you like them -- they are good fun to work with, and I've even organised a couple of arty slide exhibitions. You might be interested in the Slide Art section of my web-site www.val-herman-art.eu, especailly the Description part where it chronicles my small art history. I've also tried to do things with floppy discs and vinyl 45 rpm records and you can see bits'n'pieces of those in the Assrmblages/Works part of my web-site. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, and join me in celebrtaing the National Holiday of Monaco today. Bestest, Val

Hi Christine,

Thanks for The Mountain Top Sunset view which made me write a poem around it in Dutch:

SUNSET VIEW FROM A MOUNTAIN TOP

Gelaagd is het zicht van de berg

wanneer

het lichtgewicht van de tijdskus

de zwaarte overwonnen heeft

van gestolde wonden

in helende stenen.

Kleuren reiken naar het wit

slapend in de heuvels

van een landschap

dat haar lichaam roept

in dichte stilte.

Het woord hiervoor is een deur

van zijn wortels beroofd.

Hij ligt begraven met weemoed,

ergens onder de allerlaatste laag.

Dit kan leugen zijn, het verzinnen van een beeld

maar ook de afdruk van ultieme waarheid.

Poem by Guido Vermeulen

around art work by Christine Coppa, USA.

Maybe some day I’ll make an English translation

Christine,

Internet translations are always a disaster! LoL

Hello Christine ! Tea arrived ?
http://lo-post.tumblr.com/post/35767447559/pour-christine-coppa-phi...

Glad he did the trick!!  I enjoyed making him.

I've been doing a bit of it lately, and so have you!

Celestial beings tend to be sharp when timming is the issue, like this time.  Friends tend to bring healing breezes when someone is in need of them, like this time.  Have merry and happy everything this year end.  Christmas, New Year and  surgery recovery are certainly included.  :-)))))) 

I love specials....

Bonsoir, Christine! Many thanks for the Xmas Arty Slides that you sent me -- they are very nice indeed, and I'm glad that you're enjoying Arty Sliding. I have a bad foot, but if I can hobble/limp my way to the Post Office next week, I'll send you something back. Best wishes for the Xmas/New Year holidays, and for 2013.

Thanks again & regards, Hopalong Herman

Bonjour! Glad to know that I have a date, and that your foot is getting better. Mine progresses slowly -- just about the time the Left Foot will be OK, it will be time for the Right Foot to have it's operation. Meanwhile, I hobble about and am getting quite good with my special shoe and walking stick. Also, if I replace that shoe with an open-toed sandal, I can drive my lil ole car for short distances. Tomorrow I have to see an eye doctor...butthat's a different story. Keep on hoppin' around.

Bestest, Val

Christine!! Thanks a million for your mailart and note. I nearly drowned this morning with all the rain we're having so it was nice to come back home to some hot soup and your nice, bright mailart. Great to hear your foot is doing better. Any chance, when your foot is totally healed, that you'll try your foot at mailart? :)

Hoorah you made my day! Just received your philosophical and button-bloomin' lovely mailart today and I love it. Fabulous enevelop too and a long message - so nice to read about spring being just around the corner, as it's all rain and mud here at the moment, with a bit of snow thrown in now and then. Cheered me up no end. I will be replying soon. Keep on keeping on with all your lovely arty stuff : > ) 

I'm sorry for my mistake, Christine !

And I loved your tea !

Hello Christine, how nice that you found a useful task for the 'punnik thread'. My pleasure, Suus

Happy Easter to you too! I remember watching Prince of Tides, though I haven't read the book. I like Nick Nolte's character in the film. The pun made me laugh! The changing of the clocks (daylight saving time) really has me in a loop. We had to add another hour on but sure the feeling of not really knowing what time it is will soon pass. I am reading Slaughterhouse Five at the moment, it is one of those books that I reread regularly. Have a great week!

Your bottled ice tea cap and the brazilian flower that will grow there will be the cornerstone of the Philadelphia-Curitiba bridge you handsomely started to build. Now is my turn.  There is a celestial promise made to you.  It´s time to keep it.  I´ll keep you posted  

Hi Christine, I goofed and didn't include you on the arty slide blog last night... your box wasn't with the other arty slides,oh let's face it I am disorganised! Anyway, I have updated the blog now.  I adore you slides, espevcially the pressed pansy - gorgeous. thank you! http://thepostalleger.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/summer-is-here-and-art...

Thank you for the GORGEOUS arty slides package. I have posted photos on the arty slides page. A real treat. Have a lovely day!

Thank you for your MailArt, Christine. http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/mailart-from-yulia-fru...

Christine: my mail art to do list (me) is a litte bit confuse at the time. I received a nice box from you on June 5 that was dispatched May 25.  The confusion is wether or not I sent something back to you.  My list (there is one) tends to be efficient but not today.
