Nancy, you should have received this in the mail some time ago? It was #264/365 for August 20 in my "365" project. I had aded olives leaves and olive pits, and I am afraid it didn't go through the postal machine?? Let me know if it arrived/ arrives ;-(

Well, I have plans to expand it to 4 " X 4", but the closet is packed full of other stuff. The trash is carefully filed away in a zipoloc bag (gallon size though not sandwich)

Nancy, received the fabulous trashbook of yours today!! It isn't really like trash though because it is vintage and dreamy and charming. Love the unexpected pages you interspersed with the vintage pages like the xeroxed hand, window envelope and stamped envelope. The safety pin binding is just great. who would have thought? Also the glassine envelope will definately be making an appearance in another trash book.You will be pleased to know that I found a fabulous handwritten note today so the trashpile might be starting to pile up again. Thank you so much for this but I don't think I can bring myself to write on any of it!

Hey hey there! I don't have my list in front of me but I don't think (right off hand) that I've sent you anything. I am going to work on a few things later on tonight and I will add you to my "to be mailed" pile. Hope you're doing well and see you in the mail.

Sorry, Nancy, but the "Blue Moon" was the card I sent AFTER you didn't receive the olive pits ;-( So, perhaps it is lost-in-the-mail...or, may turn up one day! The "Blue Moon" is for my "365"...me thinks for today, August 23! 'Glad you liked it.

I went through only a couple of the 390029992883763666563555535553 pictures you displayed. I was unable to "see me" there, but you made my day anyway. :-))))

Hi nancy,

Yeah i use a checkered board because i really try to come up with a new kind of alfabeth, my asemic really has meaning. I think i have to figure out a way of writing it together, like i learned at school with the first writing.

I also have a thing for table of signs and images, like the Phaistos disc or Rosetta stone like image. Looking at that keeps the cretaive juices flowing.

Aug 25, 2011
Gabriel Xiloj

Thats the beauty of true asemic writing, the emotions of the writer are in it. On wiki i read an article about a chinese artist who wrote thousands of pages full of chinese calligraphy but all the words were meaningless, the viewers should have felt the idea and emtions behind the work. Most people are reigned by their minds, it is too scary to see with the heart and intuition. Yeah, my spiritual hobbyhorse, but you'll forgive me.

Yes Nancy!! Where would I be without you? I used all of the trash I had on my pages for Cheryl's book. I hadn't really planned to make trashpo but that is how it turned out. I put a piece on my blog in your honor based on our conversation about how draining some people can be. Also, the last page in Cheryl's book uses something you sent me. I hope you're not mad that I tore it out of the notepad!!! Ack--no shopping lists written yet:)

I love you Nancy, you are so funny! I can't wait to see what you sent me. I hope your postman doesn't stay mad at you. He's earning $20 plus an hour afterall. They earn every penny. I would do that job if I wasn't so afraid of dogs and people.

Wanted to check up on you in this weather report? You ok? Got you wonderful mail. Loved the poem will find one for you as well.The handy blotter was too cool and your watercolor was fresh up(as the kids here say).Keep the mica coming I'm going to do something with it.

You are so amazing Nancy--Received three PACKED envelopes from you today. I will soon post a picture of the fabulous "Trash Pile". You will be keeping me happy for daaayyyzz. I've already made a few pieces of mail art from them. It's so interesting to take things chosen by someone else because there's a whole interesting vibe to it . It's challenging! You are so kind to be my dealer of trashpo. without you I would just be without:)

Aug 30, 2011
DKeys

I know! It was faster to arrive than the trash book I sent you. Glad you like it. You are officially the Trashpo Coordinator. You included so many fantastic handwritten lists etc. and the Hair? too cool. Is it yours? will blog today. It does become time consuming doesn't it? Hope you have a good day with lots of time to create:)

I'm sure it was totally confusing. As I told you before, I'm easily amused. When they don't cancel the stamps I'm ecstatic and was able to put that in the mail to you the very next day it arrived. Too cool that the PO is supporting our art exchange. I also got an envelope from Belgium (Catherine Petre) and they weren't canceled so sent that back in the same envelope. Will see if it arrives to her. My brother used to commit mail fraud essentially. Him and his friend used to make their own cassettes for each other talking nonsense etc. and mail it with the friends address in the return address and the TO to a bogus address so they would return to sender. I don't recommend this kind of deliquent behavior but you have to give it to them for concocting this. Yes, the yard waste was a good find --meta-trash

Well, I hope not. It was 30 years ago. Cool hair--hadn't notice the split ends. I will really have to think what to do with that. I know I saved hair from my son's first hair cut and a lollypop that we called "Lolly Dolly" that got stuck in my daughter's hair and had to be torn out making a lollipop with long blond hair. There was a call maybe it's still ongoing, that asked people to post photos of their junk drawers-pretty interesting!

Aug 30, 2011
DKeys

It was a call by Sharon Zimmer called Project Junk Drawer and I looked at her blog and am unable to find it. Maybe someone else knows where it went. She has a blog and it's not on there that I could find. Waaa

I am in awe of your perceptive talents mylady. You produced the answer to the puzzle at the time of your writing :-))))))

Your welcome card arrived a few days ago, and I absolutely love it!!!

I have been slow in some correspondence, but I will be sending you something soon!

Dear Nancy,

I am so glad you liked your card!

Yay! You and Theresa have both received the trashpo boekie! I am so glad it arrived ok. One day when I saw this great little trash book that Diane Keys sent to Erni, I was inspired to clean out my pile of "trash" papers and bags and , well, trash. There are 10 of them with that sandpaper cover (be careful and do not directly scan...use a clear plastic between the sandpaper and the scanner's glass or it will scratch! )Glad yu like it sweetie!

Can't wait to blog this Nancy--Your Faux TrashPO arrived today and it is amazing. I look forward to you explaining what techniques you used as I am mystified. I think this is a whole new classification of garbage art much like synthetic bio po and now I can post in the group too. Thank you!!!!!

Yes, that's me back in 1976 when I ran for president. My campaign slogan: "He's almost viable." The print is by Kandinsky I think...Both the campaign poster and the print were detritus found in my dad's workshop that my mom wanted to get rid of so I obliged. You don't have to blog it. I have found that the blogging of every card weighs you down to the point where you don't have much energy for making ones to send out. Of course, I want to acknowledge every thing I get as well but if it ultimately takes time away from actually making stuff then I think the latter is more important. Your stuff is pretty amazing. Consistently good. You need to give workshops...Maybe you do? Cheers....

Yes, that is me in 1976 when I had hair. See my facebook page for more pics from my past. Just do a Zoom and Enhance and check out my iris. I think you'll find they match quite handsomely.

Hell, these days I'd be more than viable...Arrgh....Can't connect IUOMA from home for some reason so if there's a black out in response that's the reason. No medals necessary but thanks...see you in the mailbox....

It's a vexing conundrum. That's why I like to keep my campaign on the downlow but rest assured my platform is built entirely on mail art, the rock solid pillar of the economy at this point.

Dear Nancy, what a happy mail day for me: I received your mail art with so many wonderful parts, your IUOMA-sticker on the envelope, the additional beautiful and funny postcard inside and the stamps which I like very much. But most of all I liked the poem you stamped (??) inside your card, it's wonderful and together with your kind words, it made really my day! Thanks a lot, Nancy. I'll send something soon.

Hi Nancy,

So glad you liked the card. There are many possibilities but I saw a radio - at least that is what I saw when creating the stencil. Glad to be friends and cannot wait to receive some of your work in the mail. Nick are I are loving being part of IUOMA so far and receiving new masterpieces in the mail whenever we're lucky to get something.
Thanks and see you in the mail soon! -Sarah

Hi nancy, thank you for your compliments and praise. I enjoyed cerating the booklet very much. When you translate the texts you'll find it is all in english, english is my favorite language to write in and it is a kind of lingua franca, even for aliens i like to think. It would be a great compliment if you wrote an article about this artbooklet. Feel free to copy and/or distribute the pages among others, i would love that. The texts of the booklet are one to two years old, the cover was taken from a paper bag from a shop my sister wanted to throw out. I love that paperbag paper, nice to draw and paint on. Its great you love the 'artefact'.

Love and greetings from the Netherlands,

Gabriel
