Letter writing has always been something amazing but I found emails were taking the place of all the letters I use to write. When I discovered that I was limiting myself with emails I became very interested in making Mail-Art. I have loved doing Mix Media Art but now I can expand it to the Snail Mail World; which makes it a lot more fun.
Dear Nikoya: "...expand it to the Snail Mail World"? Yes, I come form the same country. Snail mail-art exchange is the name of my land. Take this text as a friendly welcome to the network, from a friendly mail artist living in a friendly country. Yes, I would like to be one of your partners on this very beginning with you at IUOMA. Your envelope should read as follows:
Patricio Duprat
Av. Paraná, 1489 apto. 1004
Curitiba-PR
825210-000
Brazil
I look forward to see your piece arriving on the mail. I will send mine to you after receiving yours. It’s my promise. Patricio
It's a great bunch of folks and I hope that you enjoy exchanging Mail Art with us. I'm your Mentor, and if I can help to ease you into IUOMA in any way, then please don't hesitate to ask and I'll try to explain what's going on and how IUOMA works.
If you haven't already done so, I suggest you take a look at the 'New to IOUMA' page (4th from the left at the top of the IUOMA home page) where you'll find a 10-point Introductory Guide that should give you an insight as to what is going on.
Would you like to exchange some Mail Art with me? If so, send me something to 1 Rue de la Vieille Fontaine, F-11130 Sigean, France, and I PROMISE to send you something back.
A friendly word of mentoring advice: you'll make things much easier for all of us if you provide your postal address directly rather than asking us to request it from you -- don't make life too difficult or bureaucratic for us poor artists!
And a question -- what is 'LWA'? I suspect it might not be immediatly obvious to those of us who are either not Americans and:or do not follow the latest communication trends.
Bonjour Nikoya! Thanks for the very nice envelope and collage card -- neat! I can't read what you wrote about your unique collection of...socks???
I collect all sorts of things -- and even wrote two (self-published) books about them -- but not socks. What is it that makes a sock unique? Unique to or from what?
I'll be mailing you something back today (but not a scock).
YOUR ART IS FREAKING AMAZING. :O Seriously. Do you do it digitally? I love "scrapbook"-ish art, and yours is so creative and feminine. In short, I'm in awe. I'm flattered you like mine and I would love to exchange mail art with you. Unfortunately, I'm currently in China and the postal stuff is quite inconvenient, but I'll move to Singapore in November and we can mail then! (:
Hello from California.....Love your work. Is your company from California back in CA? If so, I'll send a little something....from here that you need'nt entertain.
Your profile statement of "why mail-art" is very well put, especially about email replacing the letters we used to write. I hope to send you mail art, and if and whenever you can send to me, that is fine, any time, however far in the future.
Hi, I just thought I would give you one last chance to back out while you can before we become friends. You do very nice art work, I do bar codes. And not very good ones as I cut off the numbers. I'm only thinking of your health, but how many bar code pieces do you think you could stand? Ops, too late we are friends!
I would like to invite you to participate in this mail art project;
Sem Juri/No Jury
As obras não serão devolvidas/None of the pieces will be returned
Exibição: Todas as obras serão integradas nas Festas da Praia 2012 e exibidas no Etis-Bar / Exhibition: All received mail art will be in display at Etis - Bar, included in Praia's Festival 2012.
Técnica e medidas livres / Any medium that deal with any technique and any size.
I recieved your beautiful mail art today. It is so 3D i love it and so crafted. I have to congratulate you. Photo does not mmake justice. Muchas gracias !!!!!!!
