    Dear Maureen; This is a friendly welcome to the network, from a friendly mail artist living in a friendly country. A good starting around here seems to be snail mail art exchange.  I would like to be the other side on this very beginning with you at IUOMA.  Your  envelope should read as follows:

    Patricio Duprat

    Av. Paraná, 1489 apto. 1004

    Curitiba-PR

    825210-000

    Brazil

    I look forward to see your piece arriving on the mail.  I will send mine to you after receiving yours.  It’s my promise.  Patricio

    Thank you for friend me back. Nice to meet you.

    I saw your site. Do you do Jennie's book typo? I also connect with the book designer (what her name?) on facebook too. ; ) Jennie was my book art teacher and knew IUOMA through her, so it is all good connection! (^_~)

    I look forward to meeting you at the opening night reception on Friday as well as on vendors day - Cascadia Artpost will have a table. The passports sound very neat, I ordered mine the first day they were available. I am taking the train from Olympia-Lacey down to Oakland and back, arriving Friday morning. See you then!
