Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I have always loved exchanging art with other artists in my own country and around the world because it makes it possible for us to share our creations without having to do it through the gallery system. It stimulates self-expression and creates community while giving us all a way to get our art into the world.

    Greetings Carla Cryptic. Still hosting the call for monsters, and have not yet seen any cryptic creatures. (Plenty of time, still. The DEADline (heh heh heh) isn't until October.) Loved the tune, by the way. The dub/effect on the vocal is particularly creepy. Be particularly appropriate to play at the Monster Party!

    Greetings from rainy York!
    I have a half finished letter for you here on my table ... I will make an extra effort to get it finished this week but I thought I would say hello here so you know that you are not forgotten.
    You will have noticed perhaps that I am joining in the AML anniv. posting which could be quite interesting. I have done my design and sent it to be printed but it wont be ready for a while due to Holidays and such. I havnt got an address list yet but I dare say one will turn up eventualy, once the list of participants is finalised.
    Hope you are well and busy ( and dry!) .... cheers
  • Nadine Wendell-Mojica

    Yes indeedy. A friend gave me all these old cards the other day, as I collect just the weirdest. That girl scout card certainly had your name on it with that rabbit. Oh, for the days of the 50's.
  • Cernjul Viviana María

    thank you for you beautiful card!
  • Rand Swansey

    Hey, sweet cakes! What a coincidence: I just received you postcard (beautiful, I might add!) Thanks for both the card and the sentiments.
  • iheartmailart

    Thanks so much for the warm welcome, Carla!  I would love to exchange art with you!  I look forward to receiving your beautiful creation and also becoming a part of this wonderful community of artists!  :)
  • MaryAnne

    Hi there ... sorry, I have still got a half finished letter for you here ... must try harder.
    The Asml project should be a good addition to my album project with lots of new oddities! I have had the first envelope arrive this morning so things are getting under way. My design is done and at the printers but he has been on holiday for a month and is now busy catching up on orders so it is fingers crossed whether I get them posted out by the due date..
    Hope everything is well with you. I spent today at the private view of an exhibition I have conteributed to. will send you the compuutor address for their site so you can see what I have been up to. Thats all for now, B
  • Leandro Bierhals

    Hi Karla:
    Thank you for your warm welcome.
    My English is unfortunate, but try to communicate best.
    I launch a call for mail art called "positive messages"
    and I would love if you could help publicize it.

     

     

    POSTCARD ART, COLLECTION 2: POSITIVE MESSAGES 2012

    Positive Messages 2012 is our second collection of postcard art, in which we invite all of you to send positive messages for our planet and its inhabitants. All you need to do is take an optimistic thought, put it on paper, and send it to us by traditional mail.

    “Let´s fight against fear, ecological damage, and intolerance and make our world a better place.”

    All the postcards that arrive will be posted on the blog:

    www.artepostalmensajespositivos.blogspot.com
