As a new member to IUOMA, I appreciated the welcoming MA I got from people like Angie and Snooky, Elizabeth Parsons, and a couple of others! That was so magical! My "method" was to reciprocate. And, yes, I had questions about sending original or photocopies of my work collaged. Then I started absorbing the fun and perhaps irreverent haphazardly love of communication and as expressed by Ruud Janssen. I'm feeling quite "freed" to try anything. About using all the resources on this fluent IUOMA site--well my method is to spend some time each day seeing what is going on, and to try something. Suspend judgment and see what happens. I am having a hoot!

methodical ; now that is an interesting approach. Which methods could one use?

Hi Jessica, welcome! I've been on here a long time but am still finding my way around.  I post pictures of my own work on my page and then post received art on the blog section at the top of this page. I send mail art out randomly to everyone and anyone I can find by looking at their pages and finding their address. It's the sphagetti on the wall method but it seems to be working for me. At first I just added as many people as friends as I could. I'm sure other people have a more methodical and productive method than I.

'It is that simple' if you have been a Mail Artist for 31 years, and are the Founding Father of IUOMA.

It's not simple at all if you havebeen a IUOMA member for 31 seconds!

Regards, Val

Mail-Art means something different to everybody. There is no standard welcome package possible. Jump in and absorb what you see. Then decide on which road you like. It is that simple. "Mail-Art changed my Life" is a simple statement. This can happen to everybody that stumbles onto mail-art. Meet new people, meet new views, change your views, change your life. Basic things that Mail-Art has in its power since human beings communicate on a creative and a direct way.

Re Jessica's ...Help! Ruud, why don't you prepare a short and simple 'Welcome to IUOMA' package so that people like Jessica, Plush Rose Mc G and others will have some idea of how best to partcipate in IUOMA when they join? It is not very clear what new members can expect or should do. Regards, Val

@ Jessica : Yes, there is a lot going on. Just start with some of the things you suggested and see how people react. You will find a way to make this place work for you. There are no fixed rules. Just enjoy and participate.

Hi! I'm new here and a little overwhelmed! Am I supposed to post pics of  the mailart I send or what I receive? Do I post my received cards as my photo, or do I send a message to the sender and post it in the message? Help!
