At 4:59pm on April 1, 2025, Michael Leigh said…: Yes, I think we exchanged a few things back i the 80's or 90's maybe? Nice to connect again albeit on the interweb. I dont do much mail art these days. the cost of postage has spiralled out of control here in the Uk and elsewhere too it seems. very sad.

At 7:55pm on January 23, 2025, Pam Chatfield said…: Hi Ficus, I received your mailart. What a nice letter! It's good to get to know you better. Thank you! I sent you something a couple of days ago so you should be receiving it soon.

At 12:59pm on January 17, 2025, Pam Chatfield said…: Hi Ficus, You're right, we are friends, but like you, I don't remember us ever exchanging mailart. We need to correct that. :) The address in my profile is correct and I will be sending something to you this weekend.

FYI: my iuoma avatar is made from a mask (2006) decorated with dried flowers and leaves, feathers, snakeskin, and semi-precious stones carvings. It represents Gaia, mourning the destruction of the earth.

Just found Postcrossing, an organization started in 2005 for people trading postcards around the world in Jean Trals's IUOMA page which I looked at due to today being her birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jean. There was a link there to the history of postcards and the postal system which includes a VERY LARGE collection of historical postal images perhaps of interest to some of us.

here's a link to one: …
