    I received a WONDERFUL postcard from Wanda Mortensen a few days ago (I apologize for being behind in posting). I can't tell you how much I adore this postcard; Thank You Very Much! I hope to be able to send one back to you in the next few weeks. I'm Totally backed up on returns right now.

    Corazon, THANK YOU for the gorgeous blackbird mail art! So many interesting layers of goodness! I love it!

    Grace, thank you so much - I am so glad you like it. It was one of my favorites too. I draw lots of little space creatures, but was lucky to find that quote and rocket picture in an old ruined book.

    Hi Dale! Thanks very much for sending me a fab altered postcard! How cute is the "Mail Art Cat Delivery" yellow cat with his red boots and companion dog. You signed it Febra J so tell me about that. I'll be sending you some mail-art by "Speedy Delivery." (I love Mr. Rogers)

    I received this fun cute frog from Alana Schlotter. I took it's picture with a yellow background so it may not appear that this is a cut-out piece with the eyes popping out to compliment the friendly smile. Thank you Alana! :)

  • Grace Sanford

    Here is a lovely found poem creation from Chris Wells. It reads:
    from place to place
    Little by little,
    flow
    My little
    muddy
    creek.

  • Alana Schlotter

    Yes Dee it was quick, I was surprised as well.... Grace, I'm glad that the frog got to you all safe and sound...

  • Corazon

    Got a fun card from Alana Schlotter today. Thanks!
  • chris wells

    Thanks for sharing my piece here, Grace! I'm glad I found this group. I'm trying to create at least one small-scale art piece a week to give away (e.g., a poem, a visual/erasure poem, a collage, a unique chapbook/booklet, or some hybrid or small collection). I would just like to send them to people who are interested and who wouldn't mind reciprocating now and then. If you *are* interested, please let me know, either publicly here or friend/msg me (if we're not already friends here), and I'll put you on my list!

    Thank you for the no/low pressure exchange.  I often work too many hours, then am off for a stretch, which is when I can focus on my artwork and desert gardening.  See you all soon!

  • Charis Schneider

    I just joined IUOMA, and would love to take part in the mail exchange. I appreciate the low pressure exchange idea, and am excited to send my first piece out!

    Hiya, everyone.

    I'm new to this whole thing too, and wanted to get started somewhere, and this seems like the sort of place to do that.
