Don't get me started! I use snail mail rarely these days owing to the price hike but the other day I sent Frips some pumpkin seeds for her "Seeds" project and although the envelope was as light as a daisy the postage was a whopping three quid to Belgium " Small Packet Rate! - outrageous! Then I realised why I don't do it any more!
Greetings from rainy Cascadia! I've been using this period to catch up on mail art correspondence that has arrived since I was in S.F. for the wonderful Ex Postal Facto event. I hope to return to San Francisco in the fall to meet up with the XPF mafiosa again and attend one of the S.F. Correspondence Co-op meetings organized by Jennie Hinchcliff. I had a number of special XPF postcards mailed from S.F. and you were on the list. My spouse and I just purchased a house in Olympia so much of my energy has been devoted to unpacking and setting up in the new domicile (our two cats have adapted faster than we have, but then, we wait on them rather than vice versa), and with three dry days forecasted for the coming week, gardening activities will compete with mail art. More in the mail soon!
Thank you very much, Martha, for your great Year of the horse mail art!
I posted it in the RWA-blog, and the fantastic eraser stamp of the horse also in the rubberstamp group, so you can visit them there, in case you miss them every now and then :-) .
Thank you also for the change-of-address of Cascadia Artpost - I still owe Cascadia A. a mail art reply to the mail art sent, so thanks to you it at least will arrive at the right house :-)
Industrial and poetic! That's exactly it, tho' I've never been able to articulate it so clearly! It's a nickname - my parents call me 'petal' but I rebel against the idea of being petal like. I feel a bit 'enviromentally unfriendly' , if that makes any sense at all! I like to argue and question and find myself taking up the contrary position (no matter what it is!) ... but industrial and poetic expresses it so elegantly!
I've heard of albino fruitflies. I hope they're not like albino brain chiggers. ANYway... I think all of our ffs are plain ol' 'black' and all we're gonna find is pix on Google.
BTW [and now for something completely different] I see Dell has a $99.99 usonian dollah color LED printer that has a stated cost per color page of $0.21.
Yes, the Samsung seems like a good option too. I actually like the finger painting - it was kind of liberating, because after all, if it turns out to be crap, its because of the finger painting, right? On the laptop I draw with my middle finger, while i hold down the trackpad with my thumb, which is awkward, but as I said, it gives my the excuse to just scribble on in a child like fashion. LIke drawing with your non-dominant hand.
What device do you use? An iPad? Do you use a stylus or your fingers? I have been contemplating buying an iPad. I have tried a bit of digital drawing and like it a lot. But I just used some online sites, designed mainly for children to draw - so it is limited.

Hi Martha,
Greetings from rainy Cascadia! I've been using this period to catch up on mail art correspondence that has arrived since I was in S.F. for the wonderful Ex Postal Facto event. I hope to return to San Francisco in the fall to meet up with the XPF mafiosa again and attend one of the S.F. Correspondence Co-op meetings organized by Jennie Hinchcliff. I had a number of special XPF postcards mailed from S.F. and you were on the list. My spouse and I just purchased a house in Olympia so much of my energy has been devoted to unpacking and setting up in the new domicile (our two cats have adapted faster than we have, but then, we wait on them rather than vice versa), and with three dry days forecasted for the coming week, gardening activities will compete with mail art. More in the mail soon!

Hi Martha, I read about you using drawing apps.
What device do you use? An iPad? Do you use a stylus or your fingers? I have been contemplating buying an iPad. I have tried a bit of digital drawing and like it a lot. But I just used some online sites, designed mainly for children to draw - so it is limited.
