Dean aka Artist in Seine's Blog (986)

Roland Halbritter lives in Germany and continues to be a Mail Artist without being on this website. 

     At first I didn't think that this would be legal, so I checked it out with the European Regulatory Agency who told me I needed to see the European Medicines Agency.  They deal with Scientific guidelines, but also Regulatory and procedural guidance.

     I called; "Mail Art?" they said.  "Oh yes, that would be in Volume 10,256, page…

Buttoned up Kiwi from Amy Irwen.  The sewing machine lady keeps zig zaging away and producing these beauties.  I like the custom made buttons.

Thank you again Amy.

Scene VI of course is after scene V but not always in that order.  But what does this all mean you ask? 

Well ever pot of gold has its rainbow.  And ever rainbow has its Marie.

Thank you…

The hood is up and the bar codes are raring to go.  You'll either love this one or you'll hate it.  It's half & half !

Thank you Nancy, I love it.

In Paris, only down the street for me resides a Mail Artist that keeps me on my toes.  Within Paris, if you send Mail Art  before 6pm, the other person will have it the next morning.

     Ana has recently sent me two pieces that had me running back to old art books.  The first is her own version of a work of art by Marcel Duchamps first conceived in 1919.  (Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa onto which Duchamp drew a moustache and beard in pencil.) 

     The name of the piece,…

Even the hot spots of Trinidad & Tobago can not stop Vizma from making Mail Art.  Of course her luggage tags and places to go helped.

And she is still staying in touch with the latest events of Wimbledon.  Poor Andy let us all down.…

A good reminder of how I once said that I would never fly in or out of London's Heathrow airport again for the rest of my life.  Very funny this one, but then all UK newspapers are funny.  Even the serious ones.

And with London 2012 coming in two week, all of the world's eyes will be looking at Sarah's Mail Art!  Thank you…

Arm in arm art will travel through time.  (Well it sounded good at the time.)

Not sure where to go from here?  Thank you Mail Art Martha

Kerri, has the colors and the style.

And the text to follow.

And there it is in all it's glory. Thank you…

The wooden Humpty Dumpty Bear appeared in Erni's eyes and he just had to buy it.  "Yes, I should be able to do that puzzle."; Erni said to himself.  But when he got the puzzle home, it became another story.  He started to open the package and all of a sudden, the puzzle fell to the floor. "OH No"; Erni cried.

   Never the less, Erni tried to put the…

Although it kills me to imagine Cheryl cutting up her paintings, I have come to terms with it now and it no longer gives me nightmares.  And an original Cheryl Penn is worth its weight in gold as far as I am concerned.  And with the current gold prices I estimate this to be about $2.72 USD.  So if the other nine people who received a piece of this painting would like to send me their piece, I will happily send them a cheque.  But could you please wait until the end of the month before…

I can't say that they came all at once, but when it rains, it pours fantastic Katerina's mail art.  This is my recent collection, which despite the bar code, I might add is not for sale.

MNOPQRS goes without saying.  A bit like the Zalops and other funny words which comes on Mail Art.  But this one includes a bar code

Cake it easy and watch your dough…

The Land O Lakes kid pulls a fab piece out of his log cabin and sends it to Paris.  This book is simply amazing, and had me smiling from sweet corn ear to sweet corn ear.  Thank you very much Mr. Jones.

     But the girls that do, have a ball.

A good story always has a little hidden mystery included.…

Come all ye young fellows that follow Amy. And pray pay attention and listen to me. I'll show you a piece that you'll just have to sea.  HO HO HO Well blow me head down.   The Rosemount post office must have been smiling all day.  They split their sides laughing at Mail Art which was sent all this way.  Give me some time to blow the man down.  Great Amy, and Thank you, it is a barrel full of fun ... but wait, there is more.…

Wicked, Simplily Wicked.  What a surprise to find this amazing piece in a suspicious brown envelope.  Alicia out did herself without the help of the Good Fairy of the North.  Bravo!

Totto, I don't think we are in Iowa anymore.

I click…

A real wonder if I ever saw one. A little apple & banana stand made from a cheese box.  Covered with the smallest beads and bits including mini books which you can read.

-  It came in a package with another surprise.  I spend most of last night just looking at it.…

     Well I am told that our housekeeper and postman had a right giggle over this one.  Apparently the postman said to our housekeeper; “Do they think we don’t have buckets in France!”

     This is no cardboard cutout.  It’s the real thing, and without an envelope!  As Erni would say; It’s 26cm (10 inches) high and 26cm (11 inches) diameter at the top.…

"Utopology and what we know of it" has me thinking from the start.  A very unique style from Marie that comes in a form of Boekies.  Or any way this is how I see it.  I must admit I had truoble with the text, so before going to bed, I asked my wife if she could read it.  She picked it up and started reading it out loud.  "What, you can read it?"; I said.  'Yes, it's easy" she replied.  So I sat back and listened as she read me this bedtime story.  Even if we don't live in Utopologia, Life is…

Right in time for my bicycle trip around England, and then from London to Paris.  (Not sure how to get over the water part yet.  I'll work it out when I get there.)

Thank you Erni, and yes I will be taking it along and using it.  Thank you also for the sign with the bottles.  Have Bicycle Bottles will travel is our motto.

Here it is just before the wind came up an nearly blew it away.…

At first I didn't know how to take this card.  A man with two women in his arms, and a warning at my own risk.  I thought; "What does Carina take me for, two women at the same time, and blondles none the less?"

And a stiff warning to boot!…
