    Funny thing, I was just listening to some music from Burkina Faso. It was from the Electra Nonesuch series. No Elvis in there, though.

  • Gail Anderson

    Valentine, I am glad to hear that you received the Valentine and Elvis Barbie collage card and like them.  Say Hello to Elvis for me, and maybe do the same for Jim Morrison of the Doors.  There are rumors that Morrison faked his death and has been hiding out in Paris all these years. 

  • Gail Anderson

    Of course, Barbie is still alive.  She will never die!

    Will all of you be watching Whitney Houston's funeral on Saturday (February 18)?  I hear that it will be televised on the Internet.  I don't plan on seeing the whole thing, but may catch the highlights of it later on.  I think that if anything exciting happens, we will see it on YouTube. 

  • Cristian Sima

    Val, your linocuts are wonderful, and you're so generous with them--I got way more yesterday than I could possibly have imagined. Thank you Thank you Thank--I LOVE them! And can't believe I'm your only linocut fan. In fact I don't believe it. One day soon they will be blogged; I haven't been able to blog for a while. Merci many times, friend.

  • prettylily

    You are welcome, Val.  Need not worry.  I am not a "score keeper" (unless I am playing for money).  <3

  • Tinne -TomoyoHime-

    Ok, I accept the post, as there is only one Belgian member so far, I don't think it is that difficult to do. Although I'm quite chaotic... I'll put the Duvel cold and I'll get a Zeunt (beer from my hometown) too.

    Tot de volgende keer

    Hi Valentine, thank you very much for the invitation. I should comment, I am a Brazilian living temporarily in Argentina, I would love to help you but I tell you beforehand that my address is temporary (until September 2012). Tell me what you think, if there are no problems for you. Regards,

    Bueno, I already put my address there and now I wait for instructions from high command.

    A 'trex' is actually a now extinct creature of Texas folklore, at one point responsible for widespread crop devastation & cattle mutilation...hold on, that's not right I think she meant T-Rex teeth.

    Safe arrival of more of your prints - thank you :-) - I like the blue door in particular - I think there is a little mark on it - an elf bang its head? :-) X

  • Eraser Heed

    Hi Val!

    You should make a photo album with You and Your hats (what You wear on Your head/not always a hat), could preferably be known as Place du Chapeau at IUOMA.

    Nice hairdo, I am inspired and will hide myself under something soon.

    Ps. The artyslides progresses in my head whilest You make things go on on Your head.

    Until later, Peace!

    Nik

  • Amy Irwen

    Hi Val, received your wonderful, glorious, fantabulous mail art...so cool. thank you

    blogged on my IUOMA site...  *!*

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    My dear Valentine...

    your age is showing, you really must go and dye that hair,

    or wear a beret! then again, it is Mardi Gras weekend...and

    I am all for wigs, and masks, and fun!

  • PIRO

    My best wishes to you Val. See you soon.

  • Gail Anderson

    Valentine - Received your collage card today - Thank You!  I notice that part of the collage says "Hommage aux Beatles".  My children will love seeing that!  My daughter will be 21 in May, and my son is 11.  Oddly enough, they love The Beatles and hate today's music.  When my son had a haircut last week, he complained that it made him look like Eminem!  Some of the boys in my son's class are into Eminem, but my son does not care for him.

    Last week,  I made a card for a girl who loves rap music.  Unfortunately, I could not find any pictures of rappers to put on the card, so I improvised with what I had and came up with the "Rap Yourself" card.  Another IUOMA member is sending me some rap pictures out of his collage stash.  Is there anything you would like for a collage but have not been able to find?  I may not have any rappers, but I do have lots of other goodies.  Let me know what you want, and I will get it in the mail to you. - Gail

  • Arac

    First NoVear, now NoVal...I miss u, this sight is a little less bright when you're not here :(

    Got your cute accordian/guitar player mailart yesterday!  I very rarely go with the view of the crowd and constantly pick the oddballs...I would've taken the accordian player without a doubt <3

  • Gail Anderson

    Sure, I would love to exchange musically-themed mail art.  And I seldom have to say anything to my son about his hair, in my opinion, he is pretty good about keeping it neat.  But his Grandparents don't agree with me.  They often complain about my son's hair and my daughter's clothes.  And then they wonder why we hardly ever see them!  Fortunately, they live in California (about 1,500 miles away from me). 

    Will get something to you soon. - Gail

    Bonjour M Val!

    Nik (Maybe a reannouncement of some sort for the "Summer in Sigean" would be good if possible!)

  • jon foster

    I peaked in my mailbox today and saw a little Keith Herring like item looking back at me. If it quacks like a duck then it must be a penguin? Thanks as always.

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    That was quick delivery, Val! So happy that those two envelopes arrived...and perhaps the other two that I sent directly to the Sigean"library", also? Hope so! xx
