Hi Ficus,  You're right, we are friends, but like you, I don't remember us ever exchanging mailart.  We need to correct that.  :)   The address in my profile is correct and I will be sending something to you this weekend.

Hello Fike, Your mail has arrived. Thank you for the playful enclosures. FYI: my iuoma avatar is made from a mask (2006) decorated with dried flowers and leaves, feathers, snakeskin, and semi-precious stones carvings. It represents Gaia, mourning the destruction of the earth.

Thank you! I will send something your way too! I have just finished my studies and am looking for a job. I've spent the last 7 years working with homeless people and people with addictions and mental illnesses.

See you in the mail,

K.G.B.

P.S. Picasso is my ideal: to see things like him, but avoid the trap of being such a person.

P S1 I will post on IUOMA.

PS2 To me, Shakespeare tells something completely different in the sense of "Much ado about nothing" 🤔 duplicitous man 😅..
