Hi Elaine...I received your artwork today. Please email me at silvermanarts@comcast.net. I need to ask you a few questions. Thank you for participating in my 50 MailArt Books Project.
Earthling, this is the last but certainly not the least welcome message to IUOMA you receive. I’m a celestial mail artist living in a heavenly corner of the faraway universe called Republik van Patland. When you joined IUOMA on december 17th, 2013 I was unable to welcome you on board. At the time I was in a Celestial Journey far beyond the Milky Way. Now, back to planet Earth, I´d love to be the other end if you are still trading mail art. If this is the case at the time your envelope should read as follows:
The Celestial Scribe
Terrene Embassy
Republik van Patland
Caixa Postal 24827
Curitiba-PR
80510-970
Brazil
I look forward to see a piece of yours in our terrene mailbox. I will do my homework after receiving your artwork. This is nothing less than a Celestial Promise. I’m Patricio, Celestial Scribe & Republik van Patland Official Envelope Provider.
Hello my fellow Canadian! I'm a student from the University of Toronto and currently exploring art multiples, including mail art, which I find very interesting and a lot of fun! Will you exchange a piece of mail art with me?
Thanks Elaine. I'd really advise you to go for a Real Live Exhibition -- let everyone in the local commuity see what's going on, and have a chance to participate, and shame the post office too.
You will not have nearly the same local effect if you just blog the stuff you get.
What are you going to do with things you receive to Give (Canadian) Mail Carriers Work? Exhibit them? Where? When?
Good luck with the project.
Val

Bonjour,
Je suis membre de l'IUOMA et j'aimerais échanger des mails arts avec toi, si tu veux bien sûr! As tu des thèmes favoris ?
Pour ma part, j'aime les fées, les fleurs, les oiseaux et les papillons... tous jolis et aussi selon tes envies car chaque mail art est beau.
Belle journée et à bientôt

D'accord! Vous allez recevoir mon œuvre postale bientôt. J'ai vous donné mon adresse postale par courriel.
Bye bye!
Great! I will send you one very soon! I look forward to receive from you as well :)
The jolly postman is a real classic - nice to be reminded of it on your blog!
