Welcome Sherry!

Welcome to IUOMA, Sherry. If you have any questions or concerns about the way mail art exchanges work here, let me know and I'll be happy to answer them. See you in the mail!--Bifidus

Alaska!!! that´s really the other side of the world for me. Sherry, please accept 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.

Small painted envelope IN THE MIST OF PASSING TIME, in the mail for you.

My dear alaskan mail art friend.  The Larsen Bay-Curitiba gap becomes narrow.  A friendly bridge is on going.  Heaven is ready when you are!

Hi Sherry,

Added your comment and that of Elizabeth on the blog entry and added also the word ZEN, makes perfect sense in the context of what I wrote, based on your art works, so no surprise here.

Hi Sherry, holy cow, you are way up!  Of course, from Kodiak? island, I'm way down.  Do you travel now and then to the lower bits?  I'm especially delighted to make your acquaintance through Guido's art and poetry.   Is your Whirlpool Zen card done in inks?

It's a pleasure and intruiging to look at.

Thank you for Orca Express. For your next remittances and I hope to see lots of them. Both, the US and the Brazilian Post, do their homework in a very efficient fashion.  The US Post $1,05 USA-Brazil rate for a regular envelope is everything you need to have your parcel knocking the door of our terrene embassy in Brazil. Delivery under this fashion takes something between 10 to 21 days.  Certainly a long time for today´s standards but........who cares in the snail mail world? :-)))))))))))))))))))))))

Sherry: The dead line for te call is December 3rd. Put Alaska in the picture!!!

We, as a group, decided that we all wanted to undergo our own mail art experience, semiotics related  The group of students decided to make this mail art call and soon it became one of the assessments procedures for the discipline of cities´semiotics by the university.  Anna Beatriz Paula, PhD  (apbeatriz@gmail.com)

To receive mail art from Brazil in the terrestrial Alaska I imagine is something to write mom about.  To receive something from Alaska in my south is.........  I met the group of students yesterday, they are just eager to see and display something coming from Patricio´s Eskimo friend who lives in a tiny point in the permafrost where population was 87 at the 2010 census.  You better be here by December 3rd my dear friend from the permafrost!!!!!

A couple of weeks is an excelent lapse of time for your work to arrive to Curitiba based upon what I see arriving here from USA. This moment temperature in "our permafrost" is............29ºC = 84ºF............ahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A celestial package of mail art is in the way to the large and busy metropolis of Larsen Bay. :-)))))))))))))))
