    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...

    Cheers!

    Hi Val!

    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... :)

    Cheers

    Hi Valentine (Val)

    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? (!)??

    Bye for now... Katharine

  • Tarah - Miss Thundercat

    Hello Val!

    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 :)

    Best wishes for the new year! xo Tarah

    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 ;).

    http://www.val-herman-art.eu =  Especially enjoyed the ones with old stamps on them, what a nice contrast!

    Lion heart on - enjoy England!

    Bonsoir Valentine,

    Merci pour votre message. Si vous êtes en France, on parle Français, non? :))

    Voilà, j'essayerais de t'envoir  une mail art tant tôt possible.

    A bientôt.

  • Danielle Maret Williams

    No not really, Terrigal is way up the coast.

  • Katharine Fletcher

    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!

  • Audrey Wagner

    Dropping off a package for you at the post office today... That is unless this rain floats my car away :)

  • Elizabeth Emer

  • jon foster

    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.

     

    As always, send away..

  • elle.mental

    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? :)

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

  • Dean aka Artist in Seine

    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.

  • Dean aka Artist in Seine

    I can not find the project about wood.  I looked under "events" and "Forum".  Or if you can send me a link, that would be helpful.

  • Dudu Gomes

    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.

  • Marcela Peral

    HI VAL! I RECEIVED YOUR GREAT LITTLE ENVELOPE...  SENDING SOMETHING TO YOU!

  • Cal Desmond-Pearson

    Hi Val,

    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).

    Slainte/Shalom,

    Cal
