It is such a free open and spiritually democratic way of doing art - making & sharing in one flow. The sharing-showing of my work is of a piece with its making.
I got fired up by Ray Johnson some years ago, reading ' Ray Johnson correspondences by organiser Donna de Salvo.. I return to it again & again.
Also 'Mailed Art in Uppsala Choosing Your Partner / Valj din Partner' , editor Peter R Meyer. In fact it was re-reading this catalogue today that led me to Google Klaus Groh and then found this website !

Dear Laurence,
It doesn't matter how old you on the outside, as long as you are young on the inside. Or as a dear old friend of mine used to say: "If somebody is young indeed they will remain so forever".
This is the theory, but a lot of cake does help, too!

Thanks Laurence for the happy face birthday wish, I am loving all the messages from my new IUOMA friends! (Ooop I typed "massages" first! That would also have been nice).....
I must ask, do you have any photos of your piece in the book? I remember when first opening it some flowers fell out of it and I assumed they were on the back but... in hindsight/seeing your "this book is full of these" message, I believe they were from your piece. I'll stick them down again if I can but I only have a Pritt Stick to hand/I can get some PVA soon-ish.
I did recieve the MA you sent, but it's been pretty rough going since November around here. I apologize for not blogging it, I'm horrible about that. :(
Thank you for your comments, Laurence, for my painting with my father at the barber! I am a friend of Katerina and she shows me how to see the posts and messages. Thank you.
I believe Treena still has some work in the Sorting Office reception hall in Northwich but I took mine down some months ago. Not sure if its worth a detour from where you are headed.
Archive not really accessable at the moment being in the coal shed and piled up to the ceiling with deckchairs, old paintings and garden equipment piled in front of it!
Thank you, Laurence, for the nice mail art picture on my page1 You brightened up my day, because today is the SECOND day without mail rt...without mail. NADA, NOTHING- TIPOTE! I think the mail gal is home sick with the flu, poor girl!
When she gets back to work, I imagine she will be overloaded with mail to deliverI shall wait patiently ;-(
Oh, thank you, Laurence. I really like the "virtual" mail you sent. That is an elegant "blue" tone piece. And...it brought good luck, as the mailgal came...late at 2 pm, but the mail is here today! YAY!
Maybe I'm wrong to put it. The book will include all the works, which reflect the postal service and all its components: envelopes, stamps, postal history, reading the letters people and everything like that.
Great (virtual) art, Laurence! You have now learned how to upload in the digital world! Really some great art you are creating. Now, to make them count for your 365 mail art project, you really have to send them out in the snail mail....go on, get to the old post office ;-)
Laurence, got your welcome comment just below a exploding visual; better than newyear...otherwise, will be trying to get some SECREt eXCHANGE information up and out in IUofMA which might take a while, or, if you use facebook go in to SECREt eXCHANGE there
Hey Laurence - looks like Susanna does not have one too? Check with John Bennet also - that way you can make them all together??? :-( - I had to remake as well! AND I have posted L this week which you should be receiving soon - thanks again.
