I found your perfect destination Val! Internet is frustratingly slow where I am.. back to mail art business in the new year. Hope you had a lovely Christmas. x
You'll see that on the one vinyl (you'll know which one when it arrives) I adopted a conservative approach and did not include condoms, cannabis or cocaine - for obvious reasons! Nor did I include carrots, cards, crisps, crayons, crap, courgettes,or vitamin C. Cryptic, not so??
I sent you a Christmas card and some mail art yesterday (December 9). I apologize for not mailing this sooner, but have had a lot on my mind lately. As you know, in June, I lost my Father, who was 80 years of age after a neurological illness. On December 1, I lost my Brother-in-law to a rare form of cancer. In a way, my Brother-in-law's death was worse than my Father's. My Father had been sick for a long time, and was in terrible condition, both physically and mentally. My Brother-in-law was only 48, and had a wife and children.
My family and I were in California (where most of my husband's relatives live) over the weekend. The funeral for my Brother-in-law was on Sunday morning, held on a beach that he loved. It was very different than any memorial service I've ever been to. It was very informal, nearly everyone there wore jeans and tennis shoes. They didn't even call it a funeral - it was referred to as a "Life Celebration".
I am glad that 2014 is nearly over. I'm sick of going to funerals. Hopefully, 2015 will be a better one for all of us!

Hi Val, I'm planning several exhibitions in the Netherlands in 2015/2016. I'll let you know! And the Zwarte Piet discussion is very difficult. I understand the commotion, our history of slavery...so I think Zwarte Piet will change, but it can't be achieved overnight. And why is there so much hate, it's a feast for children!
Thanks, Val! I have always wanted to travel to France and see the sunflowers and the rows of lavender, and then to England to see the daffodils! Once the Christmas rush settles down a bit, I'm hoping to get more and more mail art to my friends here at IOUMA!

Temporarily is it online. It depends on the amount of incoming mails. If there enough for an exhibition, I plan to organize one.
