Mail Art Martha

Summer Solstice is the perfect time for the travelling gypsy. 

Now with a little less smog. is the time to look and see the beauty of our planet

Mail art Martha, hay que enviar dibujos, pinturas con una sonrisa?

Thank you - and I already made my first shopping tour through Walmarth to get some laughs. Wasn't disappointed, well stocked! 

Thank you Martha. 

I suddenly remembered my brief trip to London in 2000. It was in may, just like today. We were visiting the Russian Bishop Anthony (Bloom) of Sourozh. We also lived for a couple of weeks in the University city of Cambridge. I have the most beautiful memories!

.

Ok. Enjoy

Your unicorn arrived today! Thank you so much, Martha!

thanks

Dear Martha, thank You for your appreciation of my collage and for publishing it in the group. I am very pleased!

I must say that I love the winter landscape that is placed on the postage stamp. I recognize the Moscow of my boyhood. I went to school in the half-light, it was getting light, I could see the dome of the Church... bare tree... a string of workers ... snow ... it was just like that. Today, the city has changed, it has been greatly modernized, it has become less proletarian and more cramped.

Most importantly, there is a sky over Moscow that makes me think about flying. I my collages talk about flying into the sky. Thank You, dear Martha.

thank you for the Mail! love the STG!

thank you, martha ... now to conjure up a smile and/or a smirk!

Dear Martha, I wish You a speedy recovery! Just today, I saw a message about an injury that happened to you. I sympathize with You and wish You healing.

Thanks Martha, I don't want to stop making collages in any way. I just wanted to take fewer photos of mail and spend less time on the Internet. Life is changing, and I will have to learn to save time, become more frugal. All this in order to have more time to work at the artist's Desk!

I must say that Google Translate works perfectly! He's smart!

Hello, Martha. I would like to see Your online blog. I believe Your blog contains a large collection of correspondence that you have received in recent years.

In Moscow, it would be impossible to walk around with works of art attached to a bag - it's raining! The rain washes away the dust, but it doesn't wash away our fears; people around us are afraid of the virus, which returns like the biblical locust. In this situation, I need to take care of my parents ' health and not forget about my work... I wish you a successful October vacation, when you can not care about the received mail or blog, but only contemplate the space. It's as if everything is gone, and there is only the joy of being.

But where can I find your blog?

Hi Martha--your mail art packet arrived 10/23/20. Thank you for the little gems. I'll be posting soon. Happy hooting!!

Hi Martha, sorry you have trouble here at ning, hope the problems are resolved soon. Your beautiful "Greek GOLD" arrived in a fun foldilope and soon I hope something will come for your Trolley Gallery :-)

I have to wear the steel back brace until Nov. 30, but doing fine, no pain, no spams, and I can make mail art, and blog :-) No need to go out of the house, as of today we are back in lockdown...spike in Covid cases in Greece now as well. And we are very far away from the Greek island of Samos and the coast of Turkey, so we did not feel the earthquake. It is very hard for all those in that area, and with the virus raging, too. So  sad.

You take care, stay safe,

See you in the mail xxx

Thanks for the letter, Martha. This site is easily accessible, so I trust that your access will be restored soon.

My laptop is dead! This laptop contained photographs, poems, my books, everything else. I will buy new equipment after the end of the epidemic.

I wish you good and creative days! The kindest wishes.

Thank you for your inspiring comment! I have a whole series of self portraits, using reflective surfaces. I prefer the indirectness over in your face selfies and the added bonus of the reflected visuals. 

Ciao Cara Amica, Grazie!  un fraterno abbraccio , cb@

Hi Martha, Trashpo Nuevo has put you bag in the mail art tabloids again. Best wishes, DVS

Somehow, somewhere! If you cut it in half - lengthwise - and stick them together, it will be Janus! You can submit it as a "self-portrait of another two".

Ah, thanks, Martha, but no. I washed my holey love sock and got my delightful technician to sew it up all lovely so that I could mail it to that island faraway in the South Atlantic Ocean. And, as I am the girl who walks with a hole in her shoe, these socks will be a stretch too cold for me.

Nessun problema Amica Mia!  W LA PACE FRA GLI ARTISTI E FRA I POPOLI!  un fraterno abbraccio , bruno

Aww, thank you and Vermina for the nice words. :)

I agree with you. Don Luís Filipe, by the way, writes poems.

Hoping you can come to all the messages,blogs,photos, etc. here at ning, Martha. 

It seems that Mel Anie in the UK is also having problems...so very strange!

Maybe create a new account? Best of luck!!!

Dear Martha, thank You for getting to know Your new blog.

Ilya

Oh yes!

See me at this blog:

Ali Khat and friends from Mail Art Martha

And at Cat Lovers group, too :-)

Thanks so much! xxx

Sei una cara Amica, è bello dialogare con te! era nel primo pomeriggio, ma non sono sicuro.

le impronte ci sono, ma sono leggere, a causa della luce.

come avrai notato, ora lavoro su queste poetiche vicine allo zen... un fraterno abbraccio. b

Hello Martha,

Thank you for recognition my trashpo work.

Best regards Jeanette,

Dear Martha,

thank you for the art mail. I spent a long time trying to figure out how this beautiful cat was made, sleeping peacefully on the terrace ... Is it a seal, an engraving?

Thank you for your thoughts on time and for Banana Day!

I've been conversing a lot with some old mail art friends on Facebook, trying to keep out of public groups after a bit of correspondence art hazing from DVS that sent me into a mental illness spiral. We've been talking about some of my old projects in private and so I'm trying to revisit a few of the (many) projects which people found most fun. I don't know if you're on Facebook but I started a revisitation of a project that used to be "Moan Lisa's Art Akademie," which has daily email art prompts and people can post their work together in the Facebook group and comment on, and encourage each other's stuff. The project is linked from artakademie.org, I dropped the "Moan Lisa" at Thomas Brown's suggestion.

Another project I'm bringing back is from my (in my opinion) most popular call for art, zombies. The original was inspired by my ex-wife's university professor who taught them a class on zombies, and I think it is one of the most accessible calls I ever made as far as getting the general public's interest in mail art to be realized. I think zombies are easy for the masses to relate to, whereas a lot of my calls have been more mail-artist-specific and not so easy for normal people to understand like asemic writing.

Anyways, zombiemailart.com links to a new Facebook group and I'll also be posting a group here in IUOMA for zombies as soon as I finish typing this comment :)

Cheers.

Absolutely right!

This cat is beautiful, especially because there is a lot of white on the sheet and the outline is not filled in with anything. As my teacher used to say: "a lot of white is a lot of air"!

I am inspired by the idea of combining the visual with poetry.

I agree

Received your mail! Going to make a moment of it after sending you this message! 

Ciao Marta! un fraterno abbraccio, Bruno

Hello Marta! a fraternal hug, Bruno

Ciao Martha, ho ricevuto la tua Mail Art,ma fatico a leggere l'inglese scrittoa mano, io uso

il traduttore...un fraterno abbraccio . b

Hi Martha, I received your Mail Art, but I struggle to read handwritten English, I use the translator ... a fraternal embrace. b

Dear Martha, I thank you for your October Mail Art conveying the beauty of your garden!

Thanks Mail Art Martha

Thanks for the Solstice Greetings! Hope you are doing well!

You're welcome, Martha - and I am happy it arrived in one piece. I did not know if it was maybe waaaay to risky to send it without envelope so I am surprised in a positive way everything is still in place.
