thanks, tomoe

Thank you Maria for posting your box. 

It was a nice love box.

Just wondering what is it on the box I see like some person crawling? 

Thank you for joining the group, Sue Skene. 

Hello I am behind of posting in coming match box art photos, but I have received match box art from Maria Jose Silva Mize, Lilian Pacheco Gina Ulgen, Sparkle, and Susanna Lakner after Heleen. 

Hot and slow lately but eventually posting more of these. 

Thank you all! 

I am really enjoying all the clever and different matchbox designs. Thank you Tomoe for welcoming me into this very creative group. 

Eu é que agradeço a oportunidade de participar.
Boa sorte e sucesso.

Hello. Posted on FB already but here are the Lilian Pacheco works. 

Thank you.

I like the idea of organic feel, and dry flowers. :) 

Sorry I was out for a few days to visit John Held show at Shizuoka, Japan.

Here I took the Gina Ulgen box art and other stuff.

They are like little treasure in boxes.

It's blur but it is a small sized photo.

That is so nice and beautiful! Thank you for sharing the Matchbox Art also here at IUOMA, Tomoe!

(I'm not on FB, and so are a few others :-) )

Thank you Heleen. It is nice to know some people are not on FB, so I should post more on here too. 

Hi I found a list of senders who sent matchbox art and figured out who is which from the past posts here (on FB matchbox art group) and IUOMA Ning group page. Sorry for being careless and forgettable.

I cut things to put in a matchbox to send.
マッチ箱に入れるものを切ってみた。

I will send to Jill Carpenter. 

Hello. I have a question who have sent matchbox to me or somebody else. What did you write in a form about the contents of the package at a post office? I ask because a matchbox is a flammable so it’s actually not allowed to send overseas. I am sending one back, so I am wondering.

Welcome to matchbox art group George K 

Thank you for joining my fb group also. Actually I was also not active for a while  even though I was in iuoma for 14 years or so, but I started doing again now. I am also organizing my past incoming mails. 

Please send some match box art simple is fine if you wish.

Em 28 de Julho de 2015, adicionei aqui meu trabalho em caixa de fósforos.

Gracias Maria Jose.

handy website to generate templates, so you can focus on the artistic aspect when you no longer have empty matchboxes ;-)

Thank you Sil,

It’s a good idea,

I don’t have a printer now though (thinking to buy a new one) I also have a book on making books, portfolio case etc. 

Thank you for posting Sil.
