Valentine Mark Herman's Comments

oh Val! And I was here feeling sorry for myself. yes I am a bit better but it will be a long haul I suspect, still using a stick is quite fun and the irish physiotherapist too. Sorry about your foot, i hope it doesn't take long for you to be able to hobble around, I am thinking of your many stairs, poor thing.

Vizma has arrived and also your landing card, which is in the blog as  well as the beer mat. Thank you very much for all of it. I am behind with everything sorry for the delay.

Ok, Hop-a-long, just be careful, and there is no "rush" to send

holiday greeting/mail art to Greece as we celebrate until January 6 and then some :-)

Just heal well, my dear Valentine. xxx 

I spend part of the year in Guatemala. Before I was so sick I spent part of the year in USA.

Hi Val thank you for sending Paper Visma, may be you could also send one of you? If you are in time to post them together I mean, any old thing will do, ahemmm.... (sorry)

Lovey landing card, but you didn't put my age, all of 120 years! At the moment I feel more like 300. I have hurt my leg, apparently in one of my flurries of housecleaning. It is a rare injury sprinters only get. I cannot walk and have to use a stick. The physioterapist says I will be ok soon. Oh, puree!

Love my landing card! Especially the rare bird in the immigration officer's notes!

Ooh, I must say I'm quite flattered to have namesake art.  Took me a while to find it amongst the pics but I finally did and I likey, very much!!! Thanks u :P

You're in today's mini-gallery Val - thanks again for the mailart double act : > )

Survive it??? Apparently I missed it ;)  I always look forward to mail from Sigean, thanks My Fluffy Valentine xx 

Nice to hear you enjoyed the collage and heart.

Val,

My cup runneth over!  Thank you so much for all of the mail you have sent as of late.  I will now attempt my first add and pass and will (excitedly) become a member of the Arty Slides group.  Thank you for the slides.  I also love the art you sent.  Orange is such a happy color.  You have made my week!  XOXO, C.

   The Goodies arrived safely today. I think I owe You like 3-4 kilos of goodies now Val! Thank you so much, great pamphlet from the diamond jubilee, and I am wrestling with the add and passes (I am crap on things like that but like them a lot anyway ) My son grabbed the "baby/cute bear card" immediately to have in his wallet so that one is already gone!

Cheers, Nik

THUG BOX sounds interesting! I have been wondering about burning mail art. I have burnt art for sure, as cleansing ritual. It works!

The  Mail Art Island map was made by Litsa Spathi. Glad you liked it and the card!

Oh I don't know enough Italian to read a thriller, only kids' comics, like Geronimo. We have a tv series.

I have blogged your great piece of art, and also it is on my bookshelf in the living room, to educate the family and friends.Here it is right in the middle,displayed as I first saw it dropping from the envelope:

Val,

I was thrilled when I made my way out to the post on Saturday.  Thank you for the wonderful arty slide!  I now believe, after having a look at your website and the prolific number of them; and holding my own in my hand; that I UNDERSTAND what an arty slide really is!  What a nifty idea and unique canvas a 35 mm slide card is! The eclectic themes of the arty slides you posted were fantastic to behold.  I love the Popeye series particularly!  And the great one that is on the front of the Arty Slide Group you are president of.  The only time I ever came in contact with those slide cards was when I took a photography class many moons ago.  I love the recyclable idea of an arty slide...... I may see if a photographer friend has some, but in the meantime, if you have an extra few; perhaps you will send some to me at some point please?  I also love my new mail art materials.  I can not wait to dream up a use for the flag.  My eighteen year old niece was here on Saturday and I had fun sharing my mail with her and introducing her to the wonder of IOUMA.  Merci, my lovely friend!  Happy Thanksgiving to you.

Ah, you had me confused here, I was wrecking my brain -- what photo did I send ???

Yes, of course if you come to Vienna we have to meet! I think I might have something that I could send you just for now :-) 

Hi Val, thank you for the invite! Actually I dont go to the Naschmarkt very often, because its not so near to where I live. I have another nice market very near by, which I prefer. I have not made it to the flea market in a long time, ... You have been to Vienna?

Val I am here to get your address for a little something that is going your way and since I am here I like to tell you how lovely was to receive your post, it never finished to fall out of the envelope. Great!

i love the red flamingo, one of yours no doubt and also the Geronimo Stilton's stamps. How did you know I was a fan of the little creature? I have tried to learn italian reading its books with little success and now I am trying again with Montalbano, a police series. Probably not known in France.

Hi Val...so happy it arrived and that you liked!

Winter is here, however, the snow hasn't been informed yet...thank goodness!!!

I have (3) of my foster dogs with applications...(2) are pending adoption and (1) is in the process...SO HAPPY....they all will be going to great, loving families....

....stay out of the pool....SHARKS!!!!... (just say'n)
