Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
"An artist may be a lone wolf. She may occasionally run with the pack. Most often she is happy foraging on her own. She may be wily and alert to opportunity. She may know that adventure can bring out her best. There are times when she's out for blood. There are also times when she's as playful as a puppy." from description of an artist by Robert Genn

    This is a very exciting project. We have a bunch we're glad to part with. But we're going to first shoot holes in them with an airgun, so I'm not sure about sizes you'll take. I'll consult your mailart call.
  • Celestino Neto

    Hi Lorraine,

  • Test Tower

    Hi Lorraine - You know, it is rather funny you should send me that message when you did - I was in the midst of making a 'Fashion' card for your call. Just finished it and saw your remark. I'll send it out Monday morning and can't wait to get yours. Hope you like it! Nice to talk to you again after so long. Happy Mail, Test
  • Test Tower

    Glad you are enthusiastic about 'The Affair'. I am finding your Fashion call to be quite fun as well. You'll see what I mean when you get what I sent off to Vancouver today. A lot of fun dear girl! Cheers, Test

    Thanks for telling me about "E"'s mail call. I am rather surprised to know E is a she! I guess I'll just "Surrey down to a stoned soul picnic" - as was once brilliantly sang in those good old days. Thanks for the heads up - I better get busy!

  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Bonsoir! Thank you -- and Kathryn too -- for your very witty "Dialosauros boothus" post card for my forthcoming Phone Box invitation.

    Do the (dreaded) EU acronyms WEEE and RoHS mean anything to you?

    Merci beaucoup! Val

  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Hi! I saw from the back of your phone box card various references to electronics' goods recycling, and thought that you might be in this line of business. WEEE stands for Waste from Electrical & Electronics Equipment, and RoHS for the Removal of Hazardous Substances (from WEEE). They both refer to at the time (circa 2004) controversial EU laws. As a spokesman for the ITC industry in Europe, I spent an enormous part of 15 or so years of my life lobbying against these measures.

    NOW I AM A (MAIL) ARTIST -- IT IS A LOT MORE FUN!!

    Regards, Val
