Oh, I see. I thought you have organized some event or something. Yes, help me if you can when I plan a "call". Thanks "neighbor" sounds good. I misstook you said about your own neighbor in your town. haha. I like how American vase people name to help Tohoku people, "operation Tomodachi".
Thank you Plush..., for your friend request. Nice to "meet" you.
What do you mean by work together to help neighbors? Could you tell me more details if you have one?
My idea for the call if ask donation of radio and mail art together to send the radio station to Tohoku. I found that on TV that they are asking for radio for victim listeners. I will write more detail on call blog.
I was worried that Andy would think we are copying his idea if we open another group but he doesn't seem so. Perhaps we should consider setting our own group after all. You can choose the title. I do not think it will be difficult. Let's have a good think while we are doing something else and come back to it in a while. Couple of weeks? I am afraid I am rather busy.
This is hard to believe, Mme McGuinn but the combined forces of the US Postal Services and la Poste have actually managed to deliver something from you to me! Oh Happy Days...and thanks (to you -- not the US and French sorters and couriers) for the map. Now I know where to find you, I have booked my ticket and hire car and should be with you for the Easter weekend.
But if I fail to turn up in person, I'll send you something wine related -- rosé, of course -- which you will probably enjoy better than you wouild enjoy my, er, company.
Happy Easter, and may all of your Easter eggs be filled with chocolate goodies.
Apologies for the slow response, but of course you may already know, I've just been on my honeymoon and hence mailart has taken a back seat (gasp!) for a month. I'm sure I can be fogiven on this one.
With regards to the idea - it sounds like fun. I'm wondering how it differs from travelling toys, other than in the fact that you'll be sending paper toys? More than happy to play and for you to use the travelling toys group or set up a group of your own. I do suspect that this is a branch/subgroup of travelling toys though, and think it would be rather nice to host it on travelling toys if you think it would fit.
gosh! I did not felt shouted at, I know you did not mean to do so, i merely made the comment because in an invitation some people might interprete it as a bit harsh. Please do not feel bad.
"Send a paper doll to your friends and ask them to keep it on the move, taking photos of the doll in location and uploading the photo/s on this site or a video,story, drawing or any other means of recording its adventures. Please do not alter the dolls you receive only record information on their adventures. Then send the doll to another friend in this group or in IUOMA. The doll must fit easily in a standard A5 (23x15 cm, about 9in by 6 in ) envelope or smaller."
I have altered it as per instructions, madam. I did think you sounded a tad strong on the ALTER ONLY YOUR OWN DOLLS bit. We must remember artists have a fragile ego, but anyway we must be prepared to accept that some artists will not obey rules, no matter what we say. I am told also that we should never use capitals in emails as it is the equivalent of shouting at somebody.
I am having second thoughts about putting it in Andy's Travelling Toys, it seems too elaborate to sit unobstrusively there and we may be seen as taking over the site. It would be easy to create our own group, don't you think. Also if Andy accepts he will in all probability want to change the project, it is natural, and that means three of us to come to an agreement, think of the time it takes with two! But it is your idea so why don't you propose it to Andy? I will go along with anything you two agree.
Clever Possum! very good idea asking Andy if he would mind. I think it would be a good thing for the site as there is not much movement.We can approach them as a friend to introduce the idea to him rather than doing it publicly within the group. So sorry but I have not heard of the film you mention, now it makes sense so we go with it and if the doll project will be included somehow in the Travelling Toys site it makes double sense. If Andy says no we can always start another group; nothing lost with asking.
First we have to arrive at a clear invitation, could you add, change, improve the one I sent you? When we are both happy with it we tell Andy.

Of course not only photos but all artistic media should be acceptable, good point!
Please add to invitation.
