Thank you Rachel ..... I'm waiting for it ! Greetings

Thank you rachel.... Are you only interesting with ATC ? Greetings

hi rachel!
i rec'd your atc's today, what a nice surprise! and your statement on your homepage is one of the reasons i like to do mail art as well, it is so great to send stuff out and see what, if anything, comes back...its like an artistic -message -in-a-bottle in a way, throwing it out into the world and hoping that it get to where it is supposed to.
anyways, thanks so much for your lovely photo atcs i hope to be sending some stuff out soon. do you like traditional type atc's or are abstract atc's ok for you? i do mostly abstract art, so just let me know your preference.
greetings from california

Hi Rachel, Did you ever get any mail art from me? I sent something to you quite a while ago. Let me know. If not, I will send another right away! Your friend, Test

Hi Rachel! Yeah I remember :) I check out your blog every now and then, you have a lot of interesting artwork there :)

Rachel,
Thank you for making up for all the crappy swaps I have ever participated in during my past lives. Two ATCs and a postcard - the later a tribute to Jasper Johns? Wow. You give good mail art.
Best, Maya

Howdy...
Ya! thank you lots!.. I like your work alot... I paint and do some collage.. I use to have a crow named Eddie.. I just opened this page and am still " figurein' it out"..lol

Thank you! thank you!.. I love the work you sent!
Your work is amazing! the cutting and Re-asembage of the photos realy transends the image. The work becomes so much more textural.. like quilting and poetry together.

.
Thank you Rachel!
just a little virtual greeting for now...next week I'll send you some mail art!

greetings!

Hi Rachel!! It was such a joy to find your beautiful art in my post box and specially when you made it from the Wichita Old Town photos that I liked so much.…you are so kind!
Thank you!!
I am working on some mail art to send you next week!

cheers
Patrizia

Go ahead Rachel, I am quite happy if you do. The fortune cookie is a digital manipulation of a picture of mine and I also use it as a stamp on envelopes/postcards.
Take care
Patrizia

Hi Rachel, thank you very much for your arts, MUCH appreciated! I will work for something special for you VERY soon!

Thank you Rachel for that nice little pig !
Cheers
Nicole

Hi Rachel!
Behind the beautiful look of your cards there is indeed a lot of work but worthed, the results are great. So nice of you, I’d love a reproduction. Thank you…Have you thought of making stamps out of some of your work?
I know what you mean, computers are a blessing simplifying lots of work but sometimes…sometimes… I would like to throw mine in the lake…:-)

Have a nice week
Patrizia

I love making stamps and also experimenting with the concept. Not having a perforating machine refrains me from making real stamps out of my experiments.
But in the meantime, I use templates with dots that give the idea and keep a record of my work. Sometimes I use pre-perforated paper. Now I managed to find one for triangular stamps. Actually you can make stamps of any size or shape, apart from the classic ones. Have you checked the Artistamps Creators Group in IUOMA?
So much creativity going on there.

Your mini collages stamps sound really interesting. Oh!!! Now I get it!!! I just realized that you sent me some stamps on the envelop with your work???!!…I thought they were official post stamps! I was puzzled by the mosaic look….good it came out in the conversation!! I’ll post them on the blog with the rest of your work!!! You should sign them they are beautiful!!!

Cheers
