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.

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.

Hello Fike, Your mail has arrived. Thank you for the playful enclosures. 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.

I sense that we think of mail art as visual or perhaps textual [poetry] art but there is a whole Universe of other art, think singing, dance, instrumental music. And, with that to prime our mindset, allow me to introduce you to an amazing guitarist, Jin San Kim, 19-yr old Korean, self taught, sounds as if he plays with at least 40 fingers...
