You're welcome!

I look forward to receiving your mail art! :)

Thanks.

Cheers Jon.

Yes, I love it and it made me look at  The Moroccans.

(Glad it came quickly as I'm finding stuff to the  USA and parts of Europe very slow at the moment. ) But from US does seem quicker ! 

Hi Jon, special THANK YOU for the tape transfer that arrived in the mail along with some other Haptics :-) 'Love the BLUE! ..and the ooone-eye Rembrandt. I titled it "Eye View", itis great! The haptic asemic card on top is from Sloan and the Alpha Man comes from Angie and SnookyDog. Great company!

Hiya Jon,

Thanks for the friendship and that fabulous CD. The power was off yesterday when I received it, so I listened to it today. All of those songs were very cool. My favorite was the Can song, but I liked the Howlin' Wolf and the Muddy Waters ones (I have seen both of them - long ago). Also the "Young Man's Blues" by the awesome force known as the Who (they were so good in those days and even earlier when they were all Mods) - that song has all cylinders firing - the Moon and Entwistle machine being the perfect back drop for that loud sonic blasting Rickenbacker and Daltry. I had forgot how awesome they were. Saw them many times -even the first show I ever saw 1967 - they were all still  wearing brocaded 17th century outfits and looked like some bizarre royalty. Guess you had to be there. Anyway, liked it very much. Our tastes seem to be similar in capriciousness. I'll be sending you something similar soon. Thanks again! 

'Got a SNOW day here in Greece too! Schools are closed, though i am retired this year, so everyday is a snow-day, how nice it is! Yes, i really like the Rembrandt eye, and all the transfers are great...texture, transparencies and paper!

By the way, Jon, did you send off your "Alexander" in the mail yet? Me just waiting here for the others so I can  start to make the "book". Alexandros o Megas (as we call him here) just wants to know!

nothing like being snowed in !

Make something "terrible", jon! Make four or so long pages of your tape transfers...they are "terrible". Then add that they are from Alexander's visit to Dallas. Then go and make ONLY 12 copies(photocopies are fine) and send them to us. We are waitinggggg, and we wait because we know it will be "terrible". (Then don't sign up for Cheryl's new one: 26"...that menas 26 copies of a boekie.AACK). you can do it...before Christmas even! This weekend, go, go,go!

Thank you, thank you, Jon! What a great quality of layers  of images..I am indulging, love your art and techniques....(and how about a few pages of same for Alexander?) I blogged this on the Main Page, oh yes!!!

Thank you, Jon! This great tape tranfer arrived in my mail box after my return from a trip to Athens! It is great! and check out my posts about it all at the Alexandrian group...you are going to be part of my "Alexander" book...and no weeping and throwing-in-the-towel either! We may just include the mail art you have already created...they are magnificent pieces!

Hey Jon, thanks so much for the postcard, love how all the little details in it come together :)  Expect something in the post from me in the near future too!

thanks so much for the interesting postcard!

will send something soon...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jon!

"XRONIA POLLA" from Greece...OPA!

Hi Jon,

 Thanks for the shredded house. I received it today :)

What a great packet arrive today, Jon. Many, many thanks! That's a lot of stamps, but I shall admire each and every one...some look old and rare. And the series of stamps from Cyprus are VERY special...dated 1967, before they divided the island. thank you xxx

I just got your mail art-thank you!!

I'll be returning the favor soon..

Hi Jon! I spent 10 days in the UK where my aged mother is very seriously ill, hence the British card from French (adopted) VMH. Ive been sorting through the stamps you kindly sent me. Highlights are: 3 stamp booklets that must be quite old, because the 1st class postage rates were only 4 and 6 cents (how much is it now?); an unfranked British Wilding stamp circa 1965; a US Special Delivery 30 cent stamp; and some interesting Polish ones from the Soviet-era days. Merci beaucoup!

We've talked before about sending out mail, and not receiving much back. I did two unsolicited mailings to some of my IUOMA Friends that i had not previously had contact , in mid-January. I mailed out 15 pieces, and guess how many I have got back so far? Just one! That's very disappointing. Now if I get a 'New Friend' request I always ask if they want to exchange Mail. If they don't, I'm still willing to be Friends, but not waste time, art and postage on them.

What this tends to mean is that I have a 'hard core' of Friends, like you, with whom I exchange pieces with on a regular basis. A 'soft core' of friends for irregular, occasional and unpredicctable exchanges. And, well, 'others' , some of whose work I follow on the site.

That's enough for now as Saturday's doemstic tasks call, alas.

Regards and thanks again for the stamps, Val.

Jon,

Actually, that's just from the ATC group. The trade card I sent off today....
