Bonjour! Nothing had arrived in yesterday's post, and I will have changed countries 3 times before today's arrived. Post from the US to France usually takes 5-7 days...except when those naughty Possums get involved, of course.
I have to make some sandwiches to eat on the plain --ham, mustard, cheese and cukeumber -- and then go.
Did you know that if a Knight of the Realm kisses a Lost Sock Princess in Westminster, or anywhere else, she will turn into a pumpkin? (And he will be arrested and incarcerated at Riker's island, no doubt for harassment...and worse)
here is an invitation to pARTicipate in the SECREt eXCHANGE exhibitions...pass the invitation on to your friends, and let me know on my page if you will or won't be able to contribute; for details, go to IUoMA Events...or click on the link http://secretexchange.yolasite.com/
You want a fairy story?! I thought your whole life was a fairy story! And isn't our correspondance a fairy story of sorts in which everything will end happily ever after when you send me some mail art? (When you do, add a little note reminding me that you want a fairy story, and i'll see what i can fairy story wise). Regards, the Lost Sock Prince
Hiya!
It's me back again. A wave of work just washed over me...
So, you wanted to know about my adventures... Let me give you the route: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, New Hamsphire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Puerto Rico. Sounds like the trip of a lifetime, was a trip of a lifetime. Seriously, I still can't believe my good luck...

I am happy to go along with your timetable, may be mine will get sorted in the meantime.
My New Year resolution was not to start any project of my own but respond to others more. Same as last year but last year I got into the Artistamps show. This year I will like to stick to it!
I gather that you are a bit in the dumps. I am sorry to hear that and I think what you need is a good Mail Art project of your own. To receive stuff is very uplifting.
I have been giving the dolls a lot of thought and have reached the conclusion that the dolls should not be mixed with Andy’s project. By what he said I understand that he welcomes anybody to put a picture of a travelling toy in his blog, only that, not asking for participation in a similar but different project. He is too polite to say it directly. For instance somebody added a photo of a toy monkey in his blog and that is fine, that is what alerted me. What we wanted to do was more of an intrusion in his blog/group and that is not on.
Better will be to start another group and you should be the ‘manager’. I do not think it will be possible to have two people doing the same group, I have never done one and I do not know how it works but I suppose it is not difficult. Anyway it would be a super thing for you to do and will cheer you up no end. Also I have two websites which I have to maintain and that is keeping me very busy so really I should not take up anymore to do.
I am not abandoning you; I will help you with the wording and anything else you want. One idea I had to simplify the project ( if it is complicated people will not participate so much) is to put an undressed doll postcard size for people to download and dress it and then upload it again in the group so we all can see it. This way you do not have to do the documentation, easy. That is good because it doesn’t look like the travelling toy project, it is a dress up project only, rather original, I never seen one before.
PS: I just read your comment about the travelling luggage in Andy's group, that is such a great idea, perhaps better to concentrate on it and leave the dolls for after, they'll keep.
Dear Rose, I would love to exchange ART for ART. I agree with you--that exchange is sacred. I don't need to see your work to mail you something of mine. I'm not quite sure what you mean about messaging me your address. Is that online? So it doesn't become a record on this site?
With regard to skills...well, I'm self taught and my "artistry" comes from doing. I believe we all can draw but do understand a certain amount of skill comes from process...just like I can't do collage the way many do it on this site....I am constantly wow-ed by what I see here. Cheers for now, Ruth
Thank you so much for your warm and generous comments regarding my work! I am still trying to find my way around this fantastic site. Is it possible for you to give me your address? I will send you something I just finished. I also want to look at your work but am having trouble navigating to it! Any suggestions. I see where you've posted received work....

And your 'H'??
Au revoir,

What does the 'H' in your name stand for?
Happily Yours Herman's Hermit
Liver with bacon and onions, svp.

Hello Rose,
I sent you something but it came back today and they even peeled of the adress and the stamps.Pffff I'm going to try again.
Dear Rose, I would love to exchange ART for ART. I agree with you--that exchange is sacred. I don't need to see your work to mail you something of mine. I'm not quite sure what you mean about messaging me your address. Is that online? So it doesn't become a record on this site?
