Tomoe N

Oh nice :) Yes, it's tricky for me, a westerner to learn it >< hah
it will take awhile for me
Spanish is fun to learn :P good for you

hm. that's interesting :) i see
Oh, I'm learning French in school, and yes. the feminine and masculine can be tricky :P lots of rules...
then again, I hear English is so hard to learn for most people, so good job to you! and everyone else who has learned English ^^ haha

Hi Tomoe
Thank you for friending me - it's nice to meet you!

:-D

For me, I do Postcrossing for the international concept, and the IUOMA to share the art (but of course the two mix in both) So the difference is only the way it is organized. Most of my mail really is from direct swaps and pen pals that I have made through Postcrossing

どうもありがとう!

I see what you mean :) Yes, they are different groups I guess... the thing for me is that Postcrossing has more users my age so I could find some friends ^^
I am so glad to have discovered IUOMA because it includes the international and the art! Great! I would love to correspond with you also sometime ☺

Hello Tomoe, thanks for your friendship. You know what, yesterday and today I was with Jennie-sensei from SF: She's in Tokyo for the Art Book Fair.

I knew that you knew Jennie because in your page you wrote: "I found this site from redletterdayzine who was my teacher." ;-)
Let me know if and when you are coming to Tokyo!

Wow! Those cicadas are crazy. I like your blogs, Tomoe. The Flying Over San Francisco piece is wonderful.

You're a terrific artist. Korekaramo ganbatte kudasai.

I received your mail yesterday Tomoe! Thanks so much! I'll be sending you something by this weekend. Don't worry about it taking a while - I am happy to receive things whenever they arrive! There is no deadline. :D

こんばんは！
急に思い出しましたが、７月１３日知絵さんにメールアートをお送りしましたが、届いてますか。

わたしは７月３０日に日本へ行って、８月１４日に帰ってきました。
東京と静岡に行ってきました。
１６日間とても楽しかったです。
今はまたメールアートに夢中になっています。:)

メールアートが無事に着いてよかったですね。:)

大阪もとても暑いでしょう。
ソウルも蒸し暑いです。

レンタカーで旅行してましたので、富士山にも行ってきました。
都会を外れて自然の中で休んでたら、気分がとてもよくなりました。
今度の旅のために、今の生活を頑張ろうと思っています。

お返事は急がないでくださいね。
ごゆっくり！:)

キム。

Hi Tomoe san!
I'm really happy to be part of the family. Your nice collage has really inspired me a lot and made me want to start this too. It's thanks to you and Jennie.
I don't know why, I felt really inspired to make the rubber stamps, I love it. But now I have to write some mail and use them :-))

Hahaha, I think exactly the same. When I visit to the stationery floor of Tokyo Hands I feel like buying the whole shop, especially the stamps, some of them are tooo kawai.
I just started collecting ephemera and I really like it. I sometimes remove stickers from the poles and the bridges etc. For the moment they are just accumulating in a folder at home and i still don't know what to do with them, but like you there are some that I would like to keep for myself. I guess mail art is also about learning to be generous . Huum, I still have to learn a lot about that.
Today I want to start using some of my vintage japanese books I bought in Jimbocho the other day. I looooove them, it's a pitty to cut them up with scissors but they were so cheep.
Have a good Sunday!

Hi Tomoe,

Yes ! but its javanese artist, not japanese :-)

aaahhh yes ! :-) sending you the warmth regards from java island ! :-X

Hello Tomoe! Yip - I am a book artist - dont worry, over here the book arts are not well recognized at all either. I teach book binding to many people - people are interested in learning the craft of binding, but as for artists books - well - people wont PAY for them. I will post you something and then you can send me a card back x

I will post on Monday - post back as soon as you are able!! I am off to look at your sites x

Tomoe,
would you love it to join into a little mail-art project with kids. I'm looking for people from around the world and still Japan isn't in my list.
READ EVERYTHING ABOUT IT HERE and let me know if you want!
Hugs Kathy

Tomoe,
I really wish you could be a part of this very little project. We can wait, but if you participate in this you have to promise me to send the card back, the kids are looking forward to it. A little image/collage of your house/ the place where you are living would make the heart of the child so happy! I'll count you in? I really hope you can spend 30 minutes on the little card, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease! :)

Tomoe, I wish you soooo much luck with the big work! You will receive a card like THESE ONES...we left a part blank and there you can draw or make YOUR house...so that the house of the child has a neighbour, so that we make the world much smaller, all together so many different cultures close to each other. And the way we live is very typical ...Next week you will receive...take your time...and don't stress...I'm looking forward to your add! Hugs Kathy

For sure, Tomoe, it can be modern Japan...just the way how YOU see that...of course with pictures or photos whatever...and about your classes, stroung girl...admire you for your power...and you have to know I'm very fascinated myself about Japan and his culture these days...take care girl and hear you! Morninggreetings from Belgium! :)

Hello... thanks for following my blog. I`ll be glad to exchange a mail with you :) btw I`m from Akita.

こんばんは！
今日、知恵さんのメールアートが着きました。
素敵なメールアートをありがとうございます。
Alexさんのspoon key chainも素晴らしいです。
感謝しているとお伝えくださいね。

キムより。

お名前の漢字を間違えてすみません。
手で書くのじゃなくて、キーボードでtypingしたら、こんなに失敗することが多いので、気をつけなければいけませんね。
おやすみなさい、知絵さん～！:)

お誕生日おめでとうございます

Happy Birthday, Tomoe,
and greetings from Greece:
"XRONIA POLLA"!

Dear Tomoe,
on the blank half of the card, next tot the house of the kid, we ask the mail-artists to do/make something about the house/place where they are living. Our meaning is to bring cultures together on the way they live. Our house is like the most typical we have. Hope you will find inspiration...HUGS! Kathy

uuuups, and still a Happy Birthday from me and lot of creative dreams to realize! Kathy

Con Trencito
Saludos Samuel

COLLAGE

Tomoe, thank you for telling us about Shozo Shimamoto. And I got some "heads" from Moreno Menarin in Italy. The IMAGINE PEACE is from Yoko Ono, I am sure. I will send you a copy of the "head" and you can make many photocopies and add art and pass to your other artists friends. Then we should send them to Shozo.
In the mail to you soon!

dear Tomoe,

You are welcome. Yes, it's good to hear about your activities --good luck with earning a living side of things, too.

I love Japanese art, the zen, and gardens and kimones and calligraphy. So inspiring and of course, Hokusai.

all good wishes & good Vibes,

Laurence

I'm glad you liked the card and it was my first to Japan.

Tomoe, you are very welcome. I am also a student and working a full-time job, so I understand what busy is.

Kris

on its way to you....!

Yes, I live about 70miles from the Grand Canyon. I love all the parks in this area as well. I think the Grand Canyon is my favorite. Flagstaff and Northern Arizona is my idea of paradise. If you are ever in the area again, let me know, and I'll show you some places that aren't popular but are gorgeous.

 

Kris

Nakamura-san,

thank you very much for the New Year greeting and the wonderful photo of the moss-covered Fudo god. I like it very much. When I lived in Japan I took pictures of moss regularly because we don't have so much of it in Minnesota:

I wish you much happiness and success in the year of the rabbit. Akemashite omedetōgozaimasu!

Thank you very much for the New Year card. Watashi wa sore o konomu :-)

I wish you much success with your art career during this Rabbit year!

I hope all is well with you and send my best wishes for you and your family and all of Japan. We are thinking of you. kathleen
