  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thank you, Mim,
    Your map-collage card arrived in today's mail!
    It is added to a very interesting collection of map-envelopes that I have been getting lately. Is it a new thing? Or have many been re-cycling maps for mail art? Very ingenious.
    Yours is special, of course, because it is an original collage and not color copy, BUT also because you have a little bit of CHICAGO there !
    ah, 'will be home sick for my-kinda-town.
    All the best,
    Katerina

  • Mim Golub Scalin

    I know what you mean about Chicago, my home town. Went back in June and had a twinge of nostalgia, but truth be known, I'm no longer a winter kind of gal! Glad you liked my original. I like to send original work out into the world, then I don't have to own them.

    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

    So glad my paper mosaic arrived ok.

    somethin'. See ya in the mail soon.

    What a great mail art surprise: art and letter.
    Something in the mail to you, too.
    Agapi,
    Katerina

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thank you Mim,
    for the letter and for the Nepal papers! They have such a delicate texture, I will not dare use them. I'll just keep them in my "papers box" and from time to time enjoy the touch of fibers-to-paper. I have papers from Nepal that UNICEF once sold here in Thess. I can't find to buy more, but I hold some in my treasure box!
    see you in the mail soon.

  • Ptrzia (TICTAC)

    Hi mim...I received your lovely card, and posted it in my blog:

    Hi Golug,

  • bridget gethins

    Thank you so much Mim. I had such a blast today. No matter how much time goes by in our busy lives- we pick up where we left off and that is a true friend. I am looking forward whatever we come up with-so exciting!
    Peace, Bridget

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    EYE see you, Mim!
    Kalimera kai efharisto,
    thank you for this amazing envelope (which in Valetine Mark Herman's opinion IS the art!) and your hand-made envelopes are great ART! Also, thanks for all the goodies inside, too! I shall sit down and write you a "how-I-married-a-Greek" return message :-)
    Your Greek/German is very good, keep it up! And what about the message for 1001 Nights/Sheherazade..."BinBir Gece" or "Xilies kai mia nyxtes"? That IS my favorite tale/ tales and I will send to Belgium. There is an great Turkish soap opera ...on Greek TV, too, that is a modern-day epic of 1001 Nights. Check out the beginning titles and you'll fly on a magic carpet through Istanbul at night:

    Many thanks, see you in the mail soon,
