Hello Peter,
It just occured to me that I didn't thank you for the superb Flip-Flop Art you sent to Heebee Island. I liked that one very much. So thanks for joining in the fun. Wouldn't be the same without ya. Test

hello peter ~

excellent to hear from you. your mail art rocks! thanks so much for your sends ... it is always a treat to find a flip flop in the mail!

best to you,
stan

Peter, I think that some of the best work ever done is quick and 'random' like you made that cube art. It flows from somewhere less conscious that way and our conscious minds sometimes try to orchestrate things too much.

I am glad you like the last issue of CIRCULAIRE132. It's OK to keep the cart-o-cycle as they are on your blog, honestly, its like the Kamasutra, all positions are possible....

Cheers!
Reg

Hello Peter. Thanks for the congrats. Glad you enjoyed the mail, I certainly I enjoy yours. I hope to find you on the Island soon (located, of course, in the 4th dimension). Cheers my friend, Test
