Received: Mail-art the way Mother Nature intended from Mim Golub Scalin (Richmond, Virginia, USA)

September 25, 2010 - I received a very thoughtful post card-size piece of mail-art from IUOMA friend Mim Golub Scalin that could possibly - and things are certainly open to multiple but all equally valid interpretations - make reference to a number of topics that have emerged here at various times ranging from vispo, to ripped collage, to shoes and fixing people's shoes. More of her… Continue

This site...

While I love being a member, I have not been here a great deal because I think this website is

such a tangle! There seems to be little order as responses don't follow messages, everything is

disjointed and maneuverability is tedious.

I've not run across a site quite like it and am a member of another ning site...int'l collage...which is not as 'busy' looking as this.

Nothing anyone can do about here...just needed to express as someone left me a message and

I found my… Continue

IOUMA rubber stamps

Can someone please message me as to where I can get one.
Thank you and don't forget to send art for ongoing project ... http://fortheloveofcats-mailart.blogspot.com/
A few of you have sent...the art is posted on the blog. I'm not always certain where the
contributors/artists have seen the blog, so if you have not been thanked personally (outside of the blog),
Thank you!
Nikki S.

Broken Scanner

I Have been receiving wonderful M.A. from artists all over the past week or so and I was hoping to get it all scanned and thank everyone this weekend. My scanner seems to be stuck.

220 Never Say Wonderful Until... - for De Villo Sloan

Ain't Misbehaving is a movie from 1955. It's amazing how many American movies were aired in Japanese movie theaters at that time, if I believe the number of ads in those small Tokyo magazines from the 50's. Japan was still occupied by the United…

Received: Mail-art book (add-and-pass) from Cheryl Penn (Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa)

September 25, 2010 - Cheryl Penn is an artist in South Africa who I see as working in that borderland between written text and visual image. For lack of anything better, this area can be called the visual-verbal. This is a limited edition (1/7) mail-artists book. I included what is actually the back cover of her book, because everything she is doing is very much centered in an… Continue

Received MA - PJM

Strangeness continues from PJM. Movie stills in stamp format with cryptic quote on front. Personal note with star, Cinderella and date/time/ weather enclosure. PJM's world is a unique and wonderfully weird one. Always enjoy getting work from PJM. Many…

Received: Mail-art from conceptual artist Ptrzia TICTAC (Starnberg, Germany)

September 23, 2010: Ptrzia (TICTAC) sent me a wonderful package reflecting her identity as a a conceptual artist, and I feel a real affinity for what she is doing. I'm just finishing reading "Fluxus Experience" by Hannah Higgins (University of California Press 2002). I picked this book because Higgins is the daughter of Alison Knowles and Dick Higgins: two…
