Lorraine Kwan

When I was a little boy I had a book about a little tugboat that went on a similar journey. (it was one of favorites and I probably still have it somewhere)
That was the original fascination with flipflops. When I'd pick them up while beachcombing I'd wonder...where did this come from, from how far away, how long has it been floating around, who did it belong to?
They probably float around for years before washing ashore.
Thanks again.

your second card landed today..thank you for another chair where ole zack sat..have posted it on my site...will send you something wicked good real soon..keep smiling

Hi Lorraine,
I received the Mara for DC thing also. Francais for lemon is citron. Limon is Spanish.
Have a nice day.

Hi Lorraine, I sent you something Feed-me-ish Saturday morning, but just now I was looking at a copy of what I sent and I was horrified to find that I didn't include Vancouver or B.C. on the address! Ugh! Think it will make it to you? Now it seems that another aspect to Mail Art is suspense!

Yeah, the code is on it. Have fun on your Holiday and I'll check with you subsequently. Wish I was going on Holiday!

Glad to hear it arrived okay Lorraine. I was curious about that. Bon Appetite my cool friend. Hope your holiday was fun.

on its way to you....

I could do but that wouldn't be very mailart and it's quite hard to display on my REAL wall if it's electronic. I'll drop one in the post for you this weekend

Thanks for the documentation, the table looks great.

Good to be your friend, Lorraine,
and many thanks fro sending to SKETBE.
I'll be sure to let you know when your art
arrives in Greece! thanks so much,

Grazie mille
Lorraine Kwan

Hello Lorraine,
the subject is free.

Ciao,
Bruno

Have a nice Thanksgiving Weekend, Lorraine!

Excellent, Lorraine, you can have TWO Thanksgiving feasts!
I miss US Thanksgiving: turkey and sweet potatoes and all that.
We do not have a Harvest Feast here in Greece, BIG feast is Easter!
We will have "October holidays" on Oct. 26 and 28th, and this
year that means a looooong 5-day weekend here in Thessaloniki. YEAH! Hoping the lovely sunshine weather holds to be able to get
to the seaside.
all the best,
Katerina

Thanks for the pimped photo Lorraine! It's now featured on my REAL wall

I hope you have a really Merry Christmas in Vancouver. I bet there's lots of lovely snow over there, and don't get too scared of santa when he visits you tonight!

Hi Lorraine, the post is on artistampnews.com from VSA arts in Washington, DC the card is 6" x 9" dealing with however you interpret the word disability. The address is on the site, due February 5.

Happy, Healthy and Artfilled 2010

Thanks, when they have the show here I plan to go and take photos of it.

Hello Lorraine!! I just wanted to let you know I finally got your mail art friday and I was absolutely thrilled! It seemed like forever as I was waiting eagerly haha That's really cool how you did that.. I need to consider using postcards I'll be sending you something soon!

Yes Elena loves it and I think it may stay on the REAL wall for a while yet. Looks like the council have decided to back off so perhaps I won't need to send Spidey in after all. It will be interesting to see what new adventures I can get up to now that I have stopped causing trouble!

Hi Lorraine. I thought that was Margaret. I love hats and hat makers and find that quite fascinating for some reason. Famous Hat designer Amy Downs moved from Manhattan to little ol' Centralia, WA a few years ago and is selling her beautiful hand made Hats in the same store I have some Art for sale. She is very cool and fun to know. I was wondering if Margaret had ever heard of her?

Lucy and Ethel in Mame Ike hats! That hilarious vision of you and Margaret will entertain my mind for a while. Sounds like you guys are not strangers to having a lot of fun. Be seeing you in the mail my friend

LIMITE, SCAMBIO, SEGNO
LIMIT, EXCHANGE, SIGN
A tribute for the city of Portogruaro through a project involving art through mail. The keywords chosen as the theme are the motif of its foundation, joined in a common flow.

Limit
border between earth and water,
the river harbor and the trade routes,
the channels and the gardens of the palaces,
a constant reference to a change in system, material and colour.

Exchange
not only of goods but also of colours and scents,
artistic and architectural influences,
mutual knowledge, therefore culture.

Sign
a condition of consent expressed in gesture, the conclusion of an agreement,
a trace superimposed on many others:
whose meaning is beyond the sum of the parts.

Project by Rizoo Group, Tiziana Baracchi and Pro Loco di Portogruaro
Format and dimension of work:
square of maximum size 21 X 21 cm
No e-mail

No returns, no jury, no fee, no sales

Exhibition in Portogruaro, 2010
documentation online: www.rizoo.altervista.org
info: daliobaracchi@hotmail.com – aurogentile@tiscali.it

Deadline to be received March 31, 2010

Send to:

Proloco di Portogruaro
via Cavour 33
30026 Portogruaro (VE) - ITALY

I will turn it Dibbi-San! It is beautiful either way. I can't find a translation for this other than characters so sound this out phonetically and I am sure you will get it - O-Hi-O-Ga-Zi-Mus dosankodebbie from the land of the golden mountain. Rrainy

I enjoyed the video of Mail Art Olympix.
