Carla Cryptic's Comments

Hi Carla,

I'm a newbie on IUOMA, so I'm going to ask you a really stupid question, but I need to know before I get started!  Please define 'mailart' as it applies to IUOMA.  Is the mailart what you do with the envelope you send or is it what's inside the envelope, or both?  I just want to be sure I'm 'doing it right'!  I don't want to let anyone down when I send out my art....please help!   Thanks! 

Thanks for the welcome! I'm most excited about the slew of mailartists I will get to connect with through this site. Hope to have something in the mail very soon!

Thank you for the warm welcome Carla! It has been a very long time since I've exchanged any kind of creativeness with anyone else...seems I tend to keep it to myself for the most part, though I used to do it often.

 

Olá Carla, obrigada pela atenção. Espero trocar muitas ideias...e arte...com você. Abraço!

Hi, Carla!  I want to change my name to something shorter, maybe just Michila Caldera. Can't see a way to do it.

Dear Carla Cryptic.

Thanks a lot for sending me the card. I hope we will be in-contact.

Regards

Hi Karla:
Thank you for your warm welcome.
My English is unfortunate, but try to communicate best.
I launch a call for mail art called "positive messages"
and I would love if you could help publicize it.

message received! thank you so much! im particularly fond of the astronaut...

I wouldnt call it "my exhibition" .... there are 169 artists!! but you will understand why when I send you the details when their site is properly up.

Thank you for your words and sorry for my poor english.

Hi there ... sorry, I have still got a half finished letter for you here ... must try harder.
The Asml project should be a good addition to my album project with lots of new oddities! I have had the first envelope arrive this morning so things are getting under way. My design is done and at the printers but he has been on holiday for a month and is now busy catching up on orders so it is fingers crossed whether I get them posted out by the due date..
Hope everything is well with you. I spent today at the private view of an exhibition I have conteributed to. will send you the compuutor address for their site so you can see what I have been up to. Thats all for now, B

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, Carla!  I would love to exchange art with you!  I look forward to receiving your beautiful creation and also becoming a part of this wonderful community of artists!  :)

Hey, sweet cakes! What a coincidence: I just received you postcard (beautiful, I might add!) Thanks for both the card and the sentiments.
