Big fatty mailings! Austin, Jill, Alicia

[vizma bruns]

Great fat envelope of stuff from Austin- TEXAS!! This was a belated birthday pack and my first mailing from Austin. A BIG Robbie the robot stamp, I remember him making a guest appearance on Lost In Space! Thanks so much Austin! LOVE IT!! I'm preparing your return mail already!!

Another first mailing from Jill French, beautiful pack of fun again, I had it in my hands and didn't know how to open it, the stitching was so lovely all around the edges! And it had a beautiful lavender scent!! Eventually I found a glued slot on the side which I pried open and got to my goodies, a collage and cute smelly heart...apparently for my studio to ward off snakes! Hope it won't attract them? I'm keeping it under my pillow instead! LOVE THIS!

And LASTly...from Alicia Starr, I also received an ART LAST!

There are a few of these going around, but only TWO are special red ones, (Katerina got the other sole mate!) to go with the Red Bag which is currently visiting Nancy Bell Scott. If you haven't met the Red Bag, you can read about her adventures and see more pics of this fancy artwork in the featured photo section in Photos, called To Noone Yet, and see what she's been up to. (eating bananas and breaking hearts apparently!) LOVE THIS too Alicia!

BIG FAT KISSES  to you guys for the BIG FAT MAIL ART!!! XXX

Fizzy Dizzy Bizzy, etc...I think I've heard 'em all! No, I take that back, now that you and DVS are listening, I'm sure you'll surprise me with new ones!!

I haven't listened to it yet! I'm waiting for the right moment to play it when there's noone else around, yeah, weird I know. Sorry Austin, it's not you, it's me!

Dear Fellow Artist:

Would you be interested in donating a piece of your art (anything would be welcome) for our fundraiser? I work for the local animal shelter (fiveacresanimalshelter.org) and we always look for contributions that we can auction or put into our gift shop.

A receipt for tax purposes would be sent to you when the item(s) are received, and if you need more information, don't hesitate to contact me via email or through IUOMA.

We would LOVE to have something of yours for the little furry friends we are trying to help.

Thanks for considering a donation. Send to me as the Chairperson this year:

Do you know what's on the cd? Austin said he's done some of his own experimental music. I'd like to hear that.

Nice collection. I like Fizzy-Vizzy, that fits you really well :-)
