Mim Golub Scalin's Comments

Mim, thank you for your great card!!!

Bonjour Mim! I've just posted a series of 9 very experimental floppy disk photos that might interest you. (If the photos don't then perhaps some of my comments will).

Regards, Val

Hi Mim. This is the card I sent to you a couple of months ago. Seems like it might have taken a little longer than '10'! Did it arrive?

Bonjour Mim! Alas I haven't received ANY mail from you for the last 3 or so weeks. Where's it gone, i wonder? Come on La Poste, do your stuff!

Hope you are all well.

Regards, Val

You are pretty close to #1000 by now, yes? go, girl!

And again, thank you for the ol' floppy :-) xxx

Doubly friendly is a good start, yes, we'll be doubly friendly!!

Thanks for posting the other side, and for friending!! I actually thought we did this friend thing weeks ago!?

#910 of 1000 arrived in Greece! Thank you, Mim. Very elegant and very oriental...I like it very much. I blogged it with the mail art that came to my NEW mailbox ;-)

New MAIL Box full of MAIL Art from the MAIL Man :-)

It looks pretty much like mine, but less firm on the front. I am thinking you could attach a display to the handle which then could be hooked to the frame down below. It would have to be something easy to open and close because this arrangement would effectively close the trolley. Or attached firmly to the frame below and over the handle with an elastic? I am sure  you will think of something, there is always a solution. I am also sure my mind will not give up on this and keep trying to get there. Will report any crazy ideas. 

Dear Mim;

I have at last managed to improve my STG display so I could take photos as I promised to explain its 'construction'.  I used to have a display inside a plastic envelope the sort that goes in a display book for art school. Too big so I had to cut it and stick it again with tape and also the plastic crumpled with time and all in all it was a mess and I was ashamed to take photos of that awfulness to show you. So, inspired by you, I thought hard and this is the result in pictures:

 Pic 1- I covered a piece of black card with thin acetate to stick the artwork on it with blue tack and not damage the card. I made holes where necessary to attach it to the structure of the trolley. I used eyelets to tidy up.
 Pic 2 – this is the back of the card with a strip of self adhesive Velcro. The front of the trolley has it own Velcro but if not, it can be added of course.

 Pic 3 and 4 - I got a piece of Perspex a few millimetres thick so it is stiff but light. I made the necessary holes to coincide with those on the card.
 Pic 5 - this is the trolley on its own. I had to make also two holes in the canvas to attach the top of the display. They do not show in the photo.

 Pic 6 – top of trolley; there is a wire frame inside the canvas front to which the panel is attached but you have to adapt the method to the particular trolley you use.

 Pic 7 – the bottom part has

Hi Mim. Just wondering if you received the postcard I sent to you almost a month ago? Hope it's not MIA!

hi.  i was asking for some help with a project on fb and somebody picked me up and hurled me into this group.  i haven't had fun with mail for some time now.  this could be just the ticket!

my search involves finding a stamp -- premade or custom -- like the ones used by the post office to cancel stamps.  i want it for artsy craftsy type stuff.  i'd really like something that looks old.

if any body in this group can point me towards this i'd be grateful.

now i think i'll wander around on your site for a while.

Thank you for the welcome. I look forward to a rewarding time.

Thanks for the welcome ... enjoying everyone and everything.

Thanks for the help! I'll be mailing your piece today, but I think it may take quite a while to arrive. Canada->Brazil seems to be a pretty lengthy mail trip:)

Hi! Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I forgot to check that particular email for a few days. And thank-you very much for the kind welcome, this looks like an amazing network:) I do have a few questions. One questions is if someone adds you as a friend do you send them mail-art, or are they just network friends? A few people have added me, and I'm not sure if I should be sending them art or not:)Thank-you again, and bye for now!

Hi Mim

Thank you very much for the welcome, it seems to be a very interesting network. You might be amused to hear I was once again securing my studio last night, big show coming up and lots of night shifts at the moment.

This mentor system, does it mean you are my mentor throughout or just for April then?

I'll let you know If I need any help, much thanks.
