Mail-Art Cafe

CODE OF. NO CODE. IN EXTENSO.

For those of you who submitted your cards to the VSArts show called Disability it is now at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in the entrance of the Hall of States, Washington, DC, all 1,200 pieces are hooked together from suspensions and look great.

Thanks, Judy, for the photos of the show.
Congratulations on an amazing exhibit...you're lookin' great!

Thanks, I am 63 and feeling great! My brother told me I have to take off my glasses and look up so I look younger!!!!!!!!

Drink your coffee in an original IUOMA cup

awww, nice cup, Ruud, for tea and hot chocolate too :-)

I love it!!!!!!

Here the pages I and Giancarlo dedicated to Mail Art in the revue Farepoesia, A5 size, 146 pages, colours.

Here comes the ice cream and cupcakes and chery pie...
goodies at the CAFE for the weekend :-)
To all USA friends: Have a Happy 4th!

Cherry pie...and all that stuff :-)

The weather is magnificent and will be through the 4th!!!!

My husband and I may do a movie on the 4th. I'm more psyched for the 21st. the B-52's are coming to my tiny town to do an outdoor show!
Love Shack! Did I mention I love IUOMA?

Peace

July 4th, plentiful cherries and blueberries in all the stores, big sales too. I am going to walk out of my building and across the street where I can see the Washington Monument and watch the fireworks, last years photos came out awful for me.

"Give me a tango for the apocalypse..."

Mounting the horse again. I feel inspired to do some stuff...

I hope to spend about 10 hours this weekend making art to mail. IUOMA has improved the quality of my life. I mean that.

Can I have a sandwich without sand... or ash... please and a green tea with honey would be nice, and some cake from Kate's larder to follow... how come humans don't melt in these summers? Baaaaah... too much wool, lanoline's a crime.

back home again Rod? Enjoyed the photos of Iceland....!

Happy 4th

4:20AM. Can't sleep. Too manic. The 4th is over. I worked on 11 pieces yesterday. I'm going to have coffee and start creating again. Good day to you my little art buddies!

Wasn't Chrissy Hynde the singer for the Pretenders? If so, I really used to like her. I'm so out of touch.

Yes she was

DON'T GET ME WRONG
IF I'M LOOKING KIND OF DAZZLED
I SEE NEON LIGHTS WHENEVER YOU WALK BY
DON'T GET ME WRONG
IF YOU SAY "HELLO" AND I TAKE A RIDE
UPON A SEA WHERE THE MYSTIC MOON
IS PLAYING HAVOC WITH THE TIDE
DON'T GET ME WRONG ..........

Vacation-time in the Cafe. Seems like that. Everybody is enjoying their vacation time?

Yep...at the seaside for sure until August 15, as most Italians and French vacation

, too! but, have MacBook...will post:-) Enjoy what remains of a beautiful summer!

Vacation ha! I'm working flat out! My wonderful time in Iceland is now just a fond memory... yesterday I finished putting together the CD with 125 of the best of this years crop of Iceland photos, Kate your copy of the CD was dropped in the post box today.

Does anyone know the inches size for the A.S.Popov call on Space? It is 35x25 cm. Not in an envelope seems very large and on cardboard.

Thanks Susan, I guess it means I have to send it in a large flat envelope so it doesn't get folded up.

It would go to Russia but I do not think I am doing it.

Great studio space, rod, me is waiting for that CD! Yeah! Thanks a lot.
And about that Space mail art call: 35 X 25 cm / 14 X 10 inches does seem like a large size cardboard mailing. I would put it in a large envelope with those plastic bubbles, BUT the mail art call says definitely NOT in envelope :-(
My Greek postal clerks will not agree to send it, they always frown at me and say they will not take reponsibility if the "art" gets damaged.
I think the "Space" mail art exhibit in Russia wishes to have the art and the cancelled postage to be on the exhibited piece, probably will be hung and turning....from what I remember of the first Popov exhibit, it will be in a huge exhibition/communication hall.

They have had great exhibits but the size has always been easy to send.

Chocolate Salame. Anyone?

Yep. Here it is.

Thank you! :)

soon Cafe will be a "teahouse"...on Tuesday :-)
August Full Moon coming soon

Lunch today with Susan and Judy great crabcakes and burgers.

Love the dragon railing outside the cafe.

:-) and the railing over the Greek village cafe,too

Everyone is welcome to come and join us mail artists
at the Art Institute of Chicago, on the steps by the
south Lion, Michigan Avenue entrance, for a get-together!
Tuesday, September 28, 12 noon!
We'll go to a CAFE afterwards?
Bring your art, artistamps, ATC...your IUOMA cap,
your FLUXUS T-shirt, your Art DeTox bag...whatever!
See you there?

Currently suffering a mind block. I can't create mail art. I don't feel inspired. I'm gonna cry and send my tears through mail...

Maybe you're right. I'll see what I can do tomorrow. :)

Eduardo, please stop crying! There are sparks coming out of my keyboard and your tear drops are staining the polished wood of my desktop.

Flood!!!!!!

Oh lord Judy! Not you too? It's like the monsoon season here at my work desk!
