Ha ha, sorry Val You have to be quicker! I'll post something else to You. Got this old french ptt rubber stamp I desperately put on everything now. It's my new magic spell! But as I WON'T present anything on this site before the intended reciever get's it it is of no need to worry. The stamp and picture will be a secret until...
I got it from the french e-bay. www.ebay.fr, as I can't say what it says cause I don't wanna spoil what it spells (my english takes on) You have to wait but I think this rubber stamp is worth a discussion. Love La Poste and this is my first "item" from the ptt. This one is from what is called after "Reforme"!? Do You know if there has been several reforms of the french postal system or are they refering to a specific reform? I think this one is from the sixties. The seller I bought it from got severel others.. search TAMPON ANCIEN if he still keeps them. I nearly bought one that said >>décédé but as I also want to use it in my mail and not just collect them... :)
Greetings Val !!! Here also have met in New 2012 of Ur!))))) On February, 3rd at us with Victoria an exhibition: "the Medical office" is my part of an exposition and "Anatomy of the zombie" is Victoria Barvenko's part in the Museum of the Modern Fine arts on Dmitrovsky in the city of Rostov-on-Don.)) I have exposed a part of the works as - my part is called "the Medical office" in it: there are"doctors at capsules: boxes with capsules is called" Vitamins A B C.... "Are mine - vitamins - memories, I eat them)))) It: D.Matsiunas the founder and revolutionary Fluxus - pink - vitamin. The doctor and playwright A.Chehov - was born also veins in my city till 18 years then has left to Moscow - green vitamin . Chegevara - the doctor and the revolutionary - red vitamin.
The doctor the House - the television hero too favourite - dark blue vitamin. Homere Simpson - simply idiot, but very favourite - yellow vitamin. Dekster - The forensic scientist, the television hero - the good maniac - orange vitamin.
Bisteca is a female daschund, she has just dog friends: Lucrécia (black standard daschund) and two dog friends addopted from the street: Faísca and Chokito. No cats, soory :-)
How nice to wake up to such a cute message! I am going to mail you I promise! Typing on iPhone is not conducive to much type so I will revisit! Have a non hour - that means bon jour in I-phone talk. (dumb autocorrect)!
Thanks for your very warm welcome: having a Mentor is a grand idea.
Will update my profile with my snail mail address. And yes, would enjoy trading with you.
Please realize I'm a newbie to Mail-Art (the three works I exhibited at the Richmond Art Gallery show (Nov 2011-Jan 2012) were my very first. Are they always 5x5 inches? Want to do a theme... seeing below, shall we choose cats? (!)??
Thanks for the warm welcome to the site :) If everyone is as nice as you I'm sure I'll enjoy it here :) Still trying to figure the site out, so thanks for the tips! Initially I joined here for the mailart 365 group, my new project for this year.
Yes, I am definitely a cat person, and you might find a fitting piece of mailart theme going your way when I get the chance :)
Hi Val! Glad You enjoyed it (though there was very little of postal references in my mail to You (my intention is to enhance the quality of these postal nerdisistic tendencies). Thank's for the Empty/Vide information, very valuable and now; the joy o making a new rubber stamp , The Empty Stamp wich will have no info at all ;).
thank you for your message and welcome into IUOMA! I will definitely send get some mail art soon.. I will be taking a trip to Berlin in a week so maybe it will be from Germany ;)
Thanks Valentine... Cats are fine for my first mail art to you. However, I'm more a horse person -- so I may actually shift to horses... I have two horses on my farm, Spiritwood, where there grace, beauty and love of getting out on my woodland trails on a horseback ride is deeply satisfying. Especially in the snow... winter is my favourite season. Will send either cats or horses... or both!
Hello hello. The funny thing with the last batch, I was only sending to people that generally say hello. No big deal, gonna make a big batch of things later on tonight and then spread.
Not my legs unfortunately. All of the sports I played thankfully covered my short / stubby legs, but thanks for asking.
Hi Val! I thought of you the other day when I was standing in the CEMA hospital in San Jose Costa Rica... my husband, some friends and I were standing in the entrance to the Orthopedic wing, when who should step out of the elevator but Oscar Arias! It is a small world isn't it? :)
Funny enough, I have two wood pieces in line. Actually I have over 40 projest waiting for me. I keep all the part in zip lock bags with my notes, and try to get around to doing them. This is all starting to sound like "WORK".
If I get the shoe off in the next day or two, I'll be happy.
I'll tell you, PASSAPORTE is a collaborative artist's book simulates a passport in information and proportion. I'm looking for stamps (rubber stamp) like a real passport, to write this history. I hope to have their contribution. Saludos brasileros from Argentina.
Thanks for the welcome - I am going to do some MA for Holocaust Memorial Day 27 January 2012. I will send you a piece. I am going to start sending work out on that issue from 23rd Jan to 27th Jan.
I know Darlington very well - tho' not the footie team (it is bad news that they could be lost after all these years).

My next mail project has your name written all over it...now I'll have to do some thinking :)

Good morning, on the 2nd day of the SOLDES
Funny enough, I have two wood pieces in line. Actually I have over 40 projest waiting for me. I keep all the part in zip lock bags with my notes, and try to get around to doing them. This is all starting to sound like "WORK".
If I get the shoe off in the next day or two, I'll be happy.
