It is with great pleasure that I will outline and appeal, which is already available all information in the first Mail Art Call that im organized in partnership with the owner of the historic coffee "Cabana dos Parodiantes  " in Salvaterra de Magos, Portugal.

The Theme is "Planet Earth is a large island with a huge ocean around! " 

A new event was created here on IUOMA, where you can access all detailed information, or visit the attached link created for this Mail Art Call. 

I would like that the event become a great success, then I am counting on your participation and   would like on behalf of the organizers, to thank all those who choose to participate with your Mail Art pieces.

A new Recycling Art booklet with a little collection on my digital images....

Hola

Debido a los traductores no comprendo bien su pregunta, pero igualmente me permito contarle que estoy tratando de generar un registro importante de los artistas invisibles del correo postal - comunicacion a distancia - de ahi que intento registrar los detalles utilizados por los artecorreistas, como ser sellos, estampillas etc.

El ultimo libro de mi querida Graciela Gutierrez Marx y las charla mantenidas con ella me dan una idea de como continuar el camino.

Cuento sin duda, con la ventaja de este sitio IUOMA, para agilizar y difundir lo que intercambio con otros artistas ya no tan invisibles del arte correo.

Saludos

I like to recycle with the purpose to make mail art. For example I recycle museum tickets (archived museum work alas I cannot get :-) ), train tickets, pictures on cardboard packaging, etcetera.

It's an excellent way to get rid of unusable ephemera which are too beautiful to throw away into a paper-recycling-bin.

But to recycle my received mail art, ay!... That's hard!

And I think I can't, at this moment. Because I consider each received original self-made work of mail art as a Treasure, and treasures should be Treasured.

The only exceptions are 'add -and-return' pieces of mail art, or for example original pictures sent to me for pimp-my-photo projects (although I must confess I still have two nice photos at home waiting to be pimped for already over a year...)

But in fact I think recycling Mail Art is one of the characteristics of Mail Art!

So I have to withdraw from my hesitation and start to cut and paste...

(PS for all people having difficulty reading other languages: google.translate and babelfish might help! - they provide in different translations, so that's fun, too!)

Eu também adoro fazer isso; etiquetas de roupas são lindas, não dá pra jogar fora, então, reaproveito, faço arte postal com ela, dando-lhe uma nova face e função. Estou elaborando um minilivro de artista com essas etiquetas...são o máximo mesmo...

I don't recycle other people's mailart but I do take paper ephemera, packaging and incorporate into collage with rubber/carved stamps. Mailart is the original recycle. There's upcycling which I'm trying to figure out. When I go abroad I collect/hoard foreign packaging to be added to my scrapbook on my arrival. I hate throwing away stuff and often best to use items in your stash.

I've recently taken to using old receipts in my mail art. 

Olá amigas e amigos...Estou lançando uma convocatória para o Ano Novo, e podemos reciclar à vontade, se for o nosso desejo. Encontre-a no blog

"My loving partner, Rain Rien, is in hospice care at home in his struggle with colon cancer which was diagnosed January. He's done the whole thing - surgeries for colosotmy (2), chemo (various kinds), radiation (32 sess, and is now on palliative care. Comfortable. Confused, often. Enjoying his life as it is. I will be sure he gets to read or hear any messages or art you might send his way - he isn't doing much on the computer any more though he does draw and write quite a lot still. Thanks in advance for your care and concern, and prayers."

peanuts from Rain Rien some years ago....... (must be about 15 years ago since I lived still in Tilburg then). The transparent envelope arrived without any problem in the P.O. Box. Lucky enough the postal workers weren't hungry in those years....
