Hi there,

I have only recently joined the IUOMA and am therefore still finding my way round it but I thought I would flag up the artistamps I have on the Positively Postal website which you can see here in the gallery along with other pieces of mailart which I am working on (constantly!) to update!

A beautiful plastic envelope from Stephanie. I think it contains several layers of goodies, but I won't open it, the stitches are too nice.

March 26, 2011 - Sue Bowen has a real talent for collage, and I'm glad I learned about her mail-art through the IUOMA. The first piece I have received from her…

Here I am.

In my Permanent Installation, also known as (AKA) my Studio, AKA 'Val's room at the top of the house'.

Three-and-a-half floors up, where only the cats and I venture.

From deep down below at street level I hear a 'click' that tells me that the mail has arrived at about noon.

I rush down stairs.

The cats follow me -- because they think it's lunch time;

I open the Mail Box, and if I'm very, very lucky I get some IUOMA Mail Art. (If I'm only…
