Mail Art Martha's Comments

Got a theme?

We could do a twofer or a one to one, take yer pick!

Hundertwasser! You lucky woman, you!!! I adore his work, would love to live in one of the buildings he designed. I love that free form work!

 

Please tell Giles it is quite acceptable for bears of distinction, such as himself, to keep a bit of a tum and enjoy lounging. It is a bear's jog, after all.

:)

DDendum: Trip's postponed till late next week, so if you're about and up for a bit of interaction here, I'll be online a fair amount at the weekend.

If you wish to view possum art at its best, take a peek at the newest look over at the Studio's blog. We possums enjoy sprucing up, no matter the weather! ;)

 

Tell me, do you ATC at all?

Just curious.

I'm up for air, but busy as a fly in a horse barn as I'm headed out shortly for a bit of a wee adventure with friends.

Just 5 days off with no duties to speak of. Sounds like heaven after the spring we've had!

I'll try and stop by at some point on my return.

hi, dear martha, how are you these days, i sent a letter in this weekends to you, although i made it two weeks ago, but being a little busy after i changed a  job, and it's a big pitty that there no mail office in the road to the new company. i hope the letter can arrive safely.

best regards

Amo

**sigh!**

Very tired, grumpy, sore necked. headachy, and ready to take to my bed in a perfect snit.

Hate headaches. Hate. Passionately. Company did leave, but now I can't stand people. This will adjust shortly, not sure when exactly. Look for me to come up for more air at some point next week.

NO MORE company for at least 2 months.

End of story.

Hope your month shapes up better than mine has done thus far.

Wow! Thank you for thinking of me. 

It is really a choice to be made when things are quieter in our world. The Possum bunch (a wildly imaginative but crazy group currently comprising a gaggle of more women than men along with one cat and one dog) are really too busy to handle any further commitment. The generating of new works to keep a blog rolling forward is really more consumptive of our free time than is suggested. 

In other words, no fun when there are already too many irons in the fire.

Thank you for the thoughts on fairness toward Andy. He really has his hands full already and it would be best not to try and take over (however unintentional such a takeover might seem to those of us participating) even a small corner of his turf.

Similarly, I can see where you're coming from as far as your own needs for time.

Maybe it is the better thought to free up the space on our timetables and relax about it for the time being. I'll let you know if this changes. Please keep me apprised as well in return, if you will.

Thanks awfully for the time end mental effort already taken toward a project which may or may not fly in future, but which I suspect could go far if nurtured.

And let's trade art sometime--once you and I are both ready for it.

Cheers

Rose

As are we here at the Studio's central location. So much is going on, it really is too too much for words. So, thank you , yes, those 2 weeks really hit the spot!

*sigh*

It is just incredible just how very much there is to do today. It seems I can't keep up with the juggling act. After next week, I imagine things will get much better.

Take care! Be seeing you in 2!

;)

Gosh! I kinda wish we had more time at the moment to discuss details and such. But I can wait. I wouldn't like to continue without us both working as team, and, as Andy decided for me what we should be called while you were away, I felt I had to sign for us both that all was not settled. You'll see if you go visit the discussion he'd already set up. I think he's lost on the idea of the name I'd asked him for.  Perhaps he'd rather not reply to that one.

Have a lovely holiday weekend upcoming, and do keep in touch once time will allow such contact. I will endeavor to do the same.

Ciao for now!

Rose

Duty calls me too. I hope we can continue shortly.

Take care. Hope you've had a great weekend!

Rose

Forgot to mention earlier, how I've left it up to Andy as to how he'd like for us to go. This could take a while, as he's rather busy.

Sounds like me and my typing skills!

LOL

I'm sorry. Facetious me!

:P

A shouting possum?

Did I shout?

Beg pardon! I will endeavor to communicate without doing so.

*ahem!*

That being said, and your wording having been rendered so beautifully, I guess I'm abashed. Did I set this in motion? 

Without you, it wouldn't be happening. In all due respect to Andy, it may well be he will love the idea and appreciate it as a part of IUOMA, but separate from Traveling Toys.Or, we may find he would welcome a change to his scene. And it occurs to me how he did indeed get the ball rolling, for without the initial idea of toys that travel, I doubt either of us would ever have begun our ideas--together or singly.

I'm still struggling with this one. I'll get back with you later, after a further bit of thought, followed by a message to young Andrew.

Rose

I don't believe I' been called "clever possum" till just then.

LOL

I like your wording. It sounded fine when I read it aloud to myself.Folks outside IUOMA may not have heard of our envelope size or demarcation before. I'm trying to recall off hand what those dimensions would be in inches? There might be some confusion.

If they send stories with their dolls, that could be fun

OH......

And absolutely, positively NO doll altering!!! This won't be an altered art project, but one about our paper dolls' travels, their adventures, sight seeing, and so on.

You could state right up front, in caps: THIS IS NOT A ROUND ROBIN FOR ALTERING! PLEASE ALTER ONLY YOUR OWN DOLLS. THANKS!

Maybe I'm too strong here, but some people with too much caffein in their veins might rush right through an intro and hurry up and "fix" a doll. To my way of thinking, since each one has its own heritage, so to speak, they would be best left as they are--and much more recognizable when photographed, as well.

 

Your thoughts?

 

This is fun! ;)

But if we were an offshoot, affiliated with Traveling Toys, wouldn't that help mend fences?

I will admit, those synonyms you've offered might make for further clarity. One hates to be thought of as having the temerity to plagiarize. :)

The Fellowship of the Roaming Paper Doll loses its verve or rhythm, take your pick, in that I was basing our temporary title on the movie about the Traveling Pants.

Not meaning to quibble, but couldn't we politely ask for permission from our Toys group leader?

Just a thought.

So the photographs become like a mass installation. And those poses with the doll as subject become a part of the art as well.

Naturally, if someone's camera were not in working order, a drawing, collage or another depiction of said doll might make for fun viewing as well.
