Greek Summer in my Post Box

[cheryl penn]

From Katerina Nicoltsou and Georgia Grigoriadou

I KNOW these two are enjoying sun and sand - aside from telling us so - their work LOOKS like it!  This is one lady on IUOMA that I KNOW heart matters to.  MomKat is supportive of everyone, sends out work like a MACHINE and collaboratives with a giving spirit ALL THE TIME!! The heart is an asemic matter too for sure - we unconsciously write on it and into it ALL  the time. A tablet of living flesh. Thats what this looks like.

Stamps of every sort, tonal blues of a very recognizable Greek sky palette.  My Greek Column is growing again I am pleased to announce - thank you MomKat - your asemic # 3 contribution - GREAT also - thank you for stepping in - as DVS said a while back - collaborations are NOT the same without a bit of you :-) X

Georgia is not part of the Asemic project but I can see she is experimenting with this medium - with FAB success. This stab-bound booklet is a joy.  Stamps, collage and asemics on buff sugar paper with marginalia - its a  beauty for sure.

Writing like birds in flight sweep through Georgia's unconscious, taking me places that only books have the power to do.  Georgia was skin diving during the holidays. And now she's taking me book diving. THANK YOU!

AND - a card from Georgia's Face Project which we all know so well. Old Blue Eyes. The King for a Day.

Thank you  both - MAN!! I'm chuffed :-) XX

Marie says she's going to Greece. Let's see if Kat and Georgia start receiving cryptic messages from Grigori Antonin mysteriously tacked on their doors - I hear there will be Elvis Presley Impersonator conferences in Greece.

Wonderful heart-I-facts (artifacts) from Katerina. Georgia's work is purely wonderful. Cheryl, I'm so glad you wrote a tribute to Katerina. You have work you call "Women Who Hold Up the World" - I think of Katerina as one of those women in the eternal network. Mail-art is so much about the collaborative spirit, mutual support, acceptance and Kat embodies all those things. Yes, something was missing in Asemics 16 until she joined us. Thanks for the blog and many thanks to Katerina and Georgia.

"...the heart is an asemic matter" , oh, I like that! Definitely agree ;-)

'Must work on more flowing asemic writings to the heart...

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

XXX big kisses to you and "sud suet" ((HUGS)))! Thank you, Cheryl for such kind words and 'know that you are my boekie guru...especially with Heart Matters (and Asemics, and Windmills, and.....) !!!

So, so, so happy when my mail art finally arrives in SA. It is such a long road getting there. 

Ya awl welcome to Sunny Greece....where today the temps have risen and need to have an afternoon swim as well ;-) But keep in mind, we are heading towards winter were as SA has summer beginnings!

Georgia and I are both from Thessaloniki (though no way are we in the city this week! HOT!)

I NEED to go to Greece right now! :-)) A land of sun and sand and artists as talented as they are generous. Such a pleasure to read this blog and see those pictures!
