    I'm so glad you got a kick out of it, Martha! I was actually laughing while drawing you!!! Keep away from huggifying (I made that word up) beasts!!! x

    Hi Martha,

    Greetings from rainy Cascadia! I've been using this period to catch up on mail art correspondence that has arrived since I was in S.F. for the wonderful Ex Postal Facto event. I hope to return to San Francisco in the fall to meet up with the XPF mafiosa again and attend one of the S.F. Correspondence Co-op meetings organized by Jennie Hinchcliff. I had a number of special XPF postcards mailed from S.F. and you were on the list. My spouse and I just purchased a house in Olympia so much of my energy has been devoted to unpacking and setting up in the new domicile (our two cats have adapted faster than we have, but then, we wait on them rather than vice versa), and with three dry days forecasted for the coming week, gardening activities will compete with mail art. More in the mail soon!

    Thank you so much for your wonderful Ostrich and Puffins!

    I'll post the Ostrich picture in my photos at IUOMA - and they already have found a new home among the other animals at Real Weird Animals.

    Coucou Mail Art Martha!

    I got your wonderful enveloppe... ! thaaaanks ! have a good one :)

  • Michael Leigh

    Don't get me started!   I use snail mail rarely these days owing to the price hike but the other day I sent Frips some pumpkin seeds for her "Seeds"  project and although the envelope was as light as a daisy the postage was a whopping three quid to Belgium " Small Packet Rate!  - outrageous!  Then I realised why I don't do it any more!

  • Ruud Janssen

    yes, postage has become high and sending out mail is a luxury......

  • Elaine Fafard-Marconi

  • Petrolpetal

    Thanks for the beautiful mail art - love your silvery finish

  • yves maraux

    why not create a sailtschukudu ? & a sail troley ?

  • Heleen de Vaan

    Martha!! Thank you for your beautiful mail art!

    And no worries, you didn't forget to mention who Kevin is. It was just my forgetting mind in a busy time, when I posted the artistamps in the Artistamps group yesterday. 

    Today I posted you mail art in the RWA-blog, and for that re-read the back side of your Rabbit/moon mail art card, and remembered. And even added a tiny modest tribute to your Postman in the blog post :-)

    I now recognize his picture in the Local Postperson group, so nice to see, Martha!

    Great blog you have for Mail Art in the Clouds, Martha! Love seeing all the wonderful mail art, wow! Glad that you got the card from Paris :-)

    I have returned home...and really relaxing by the seaside shack...with the two Hippo Twins :-)

  • Dan Mouer

    Glad you liked the horses. It's a good old fashioned hand-tinted b/w photo of the front pasture at the barn where we keep and ride our equine pals.

  • Dan Mouer

    I wish we were a lot closer to our horses. It's a 45 minute drive each wayfrom house in the city (Richmond, Va) to our barn. Still, we are lucky to he able to do that 2-3 times a week. The joys of being retired! Of course, it doesn't leave a lot of time for mail art... Heheheh
  • David Stanley Aponte

    A big thank you right back at ya! (David Stanley Aponte c/o Jakubowski 1371 Kim Street, Bethlehem Pennsylvania, 18107 USA) http://sub-post.blogspot.com

  • Dan Mouer

    Martha, i post every bit of m.a. i get. It's a pleasure, especially when it's work I know others would like to see
  • Marya Dawn

    How cool that we have the same hat!!  :-)  That's my lucky art making hat.

    should tell him about Retalia

    Marcel send a parcel to RETAILIA

  • yves maraux

    that' was kind of haiku (shortened)

    well, you don't know Marcel ! i had to introduce !

    Marcel : son of Duchamp & Proust

    early wrapped in marcel ( this french workingman underwear , maillot  )

    was prompted by MY in the 2000th , quickly stolen by a Commissaire d'exposition i'm going to find more info about !

  • yves maraux

    he became Marcel l'Universel ( kind of swiss knife )

  • yves maraux

    Marcel l'universel

    between zwiff knife & swiss knight

  • yves maraux

    That could be a commercial war: it is said that the factories of snails around  have difficulty of supply now ! 


    & the retired postman writting with salads ! when i think to Tate or Beaubourg promoting mega artists , it depress me & more heavy artcritics telling us about what is art & not as well , as we could eat poetry of Charles , the retired postman, WRITTEN WITH SALADS!

  • Marya Dawn

    Love, love, love, love, love Martha.  Thank you!!!!  :-)

  • De Villo Sloan

    Glad it arrived safely, Martha. Your stamps are located on the Jesus Jim page, BTW.

  • Brooke Cooks

    Thanks for the "swirly art".  Great colors, or should I say colours...

  • Brooke Cooks

    In regards to your tomato growing, I am from the Pacific Northwest and growing tomatoes each year is a risky bet at the least.  No peppers for me though.  No way they would ever ripen.  Thanks for answering my questions.  Later.

  • Jennifer Kosharek

    hello!  so i just reconnected with this website and mail art... lol... I had a gallery for 3 years and now I'm raising a new baby!  

  • Jennifer Kosharek

    Thank you!  I adore him so I can't send him anywhere!  :-)  He's a keeper! 

  • yves maraux

    great ! shell painted snail's race ! you're an expert ! I have collected snail's eggs in my garden , i'll send you some soon ! can you confirm snails will be sent on remote planets cause they are oxygene athmosphere bio builders ?

  • Heleen de Vaan

    Great to read Nougat has arrived well!

    And no, we don't have horses, neither Nougat has us. I guess she wouldn't be in the right place at our appartment (3rd floor, small balcony).
    She's one of the horses of a riding school, some 7 to 10 kilometers from our place. Where I sometimes infiltrate (and Edmund, see - after scrolling down a little - at Edmund-in-Amstelland's blog)

    Glad to read that Kevin is enjoying your mail (and our attention)!

    Nougat and friend

     

  • yves maraux

    snail's eggs are over , spring collected !

  • Carina

    Thanks for your inspiration, Martha! I had to cut up / glue together "our" card again. It sure arrived quickly, maybe something to do with Tom. Have a good week :)

  • Rebecca Guyver

    Already received you brilliant boekie.  Have done a min-blog/ hook em here and the real blog at:

    Huge thanks, of course!

  • Amy Irwen

    Thank you MAM....glad it arrived...
  • Brooke Cooks

    Thanks for the envelope of cards Martha.  Love the drawings of your time by the sea.  Makes me wistfull for summer. 

  • Minneapolis Gnome

    Tracy's work is just so perfectly wonderful.  I LOVE the eye candy I get to absorb by viewing all the art on the IUOMA, it inspires me to learn and try new things.  I don't know if I mentioned to you that I love your art gallery front door.  I built a Community Book Exchange on a post on my front lawn and the attic is a miniature art gallery and reading room viewable through plexiglass with tiny furniture and tiny books.  I'm building little wooden easels to display tiny works of art on in there.  Thanks for friending me!

     

  • Tracy Anderson

    Thank you Martha. Glad to have you as a friend also. :)

    I enjoyed looking through your mail art ebooks.
