Outgoing Mail-Art

[Ruud Janssen]

As most of you know I like to paint my envelopes. After this weekend the next batch went out to some of you.

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Oh that news is gooood--thank you, Ruud.

[Ruud Janssen]

Yes, one is going to Maine......

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Loved these at first sight, then tried to make out names and addresses, and yay, one might be coming to Maine. That would make me very happy!

NICE collection, Kat.--

And this envelope could be another Fluxus Word...but it seems so sensIBLE!

Thanks, Ruud, for all (and keep them coming!)

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

LOVE the colors (spell chick is out-to-lunch)

On these envelopes, too...all color and swooshes of paint:

And also fun colors and creatures on these envelopes!

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Also, during the summer, Ruud sent this perfect "ART" one, very special indeed!'Loe the colors!!!

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

This is a good place to blog the collection of "Ruud envelopes", yes? I have  now two Fluxus Words, yesterday's "GJOOP" and earlier this year this one: "IOPA"!

They are awesome and so colorful.  Great envelopes,  Ruud.

You are lucky, Ruud, to be able to post such beautiful envelopes in the mail. The postal clerks in my area frown if my envelopes are not "clean". They even complain about the "rubber stamp mess" if it is on the front :-(

Well, keep these colorful mail art works of yours coming. 'Tis a joy to see in my mailbox. Many thanks, Ruud, for the "GJOOP" that arrived yesterday, and for ALL the beauties! ( me going to blog them...)

So, give it a try. I know that all the postal workers who see the envelopes before it reaches the sender, mostly are very please. The computer-systems who have to cancel the envelopes don't like these envelopes though.....
