I found out about IUOMA from a woman wearing postage stamp pajamas at Breitenbush Hot Springs. I have been exchanging mail art throughout my life with my sister, a retired USPS letter carrier.
I like to make art and send and receive mail. I like the idea that in mailing a piece of art you are giving it away.
I love paper, printmaking, collage, color, surrealism, juxtaposition, all things vintage.
I am a bookseller, and also recycle old books into journals.

Hi Amy, Sometimes the address is on the person's page and sometimes you have to ask them for their address with email or a message. Mine is on my page. Have a good Saturday!
Hey Amy, I love the lobster Deco book you sent. It’s just fabulous!! All the papers you used and the great tag are soooooo my style. I will add a little something and send it on it’s way to one of our group members. Your kitty postcard was perfect....So much fun. Thanks for the Art.❤️
Hi Amy, That large white kitty is Elvis. He is 7 months old and weights 10 lbs. we adopted him and his sister, (strays) Elvis is a flame tip Siamese and his sister a calico. They are both my constant craft companions.
Hi Amy. Your story of finding out about IUOMA from someone wearing postage stamp pajamas - at Breitenbush Hot Springs is crazy. Having been there years ago, I can envision the vibe. I had a really strange experience while there, too weird to share here. Anyway, it's great to be exchanging mail with you. You should be getting something from me anyday now. Happy New Year.
yes, she did tell me! the only thing thats in my blood girl scouting, ha! (now going on 4 generations w/my nieces) honestly i only did it 4 the crafts! (& the snacks 2)....
Just found about this group from Barb Candiotti -- are you her sister or a relative? I like the idea of a Pacific NW mail artists group, and would love to attend a group meeting whenever it next becomes possible. I am also a big fan (and practitioner) of collage and surrealism. Please check out my photos and website if you care to. I'll send some mail art your way! :) - Melanie
Thank you for the pouched and folded envelope.. Amazing it was not shredded enroute. iIt spired me to do some cutouts in a return envelope,but I did back them since the mono print paper element is a bit fragile.
Sometimes it works dadapoetically to make mistakes. Gokko print sounds almost like a rip off fashion label. Surviving cancellation intact. Pouched envelope. Lovely bloopers.
Hi Amy! I just joined your PNW group. I currently live in Kennewick WA and would love to trade mail art with you! Samples of work are in my photo albums. Let me know if you're interested and I will get something posted. Happy New Year!
Just got your reply to my latest "This is not art" print. You really made my day. Very funny, very clever. I love how those cheeky little cards get to people. Thank you and happy new year!
thank you so much for the amazing haul of mail art you sent! it arrived a few days ago and am just getting to confirming. I posted a photo of the mail on my IUOMA blog :) Sending something back to you very soon~
Thank you for the axolotl! They are amazing and peculiar little creatures, always with a charming smile. Love the card, love the Audubon stamp on it too! I will be sending some axolotls your way.
