Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
A need to create but keeping it all achievable - will be keeping to postcards - couldn't really cope with anything larger. Am a bit overwhelmed by all the ARTISTS & not sure if I will ever be able to put myself in the same class.

    Thought you might like to join my Australia group. It's a bit slow in getting together.

    Thanks Christine

     

    Im in Perth and we've been in drought for a few years now. I hope to do some more mail art this year. The project that I have going at the moment is this one:  http://iuoma-network.ning.com/xn/detail/2496677:Event:302611?xg_source=activity

    Hi Christine, thanks for the friends request. :)
  • Perdita Phillips

    Hey I got to my mailbox on Friday and got your card! I had forgotten how much of a pleasure it is to get things in the mail. Now I must reciprocate!
  • Parys St. Martin

    Thanks for the fabulous MA Christine, Nice to have a bit of Australia in my hands :)
  • Uncustomary

    I am pretty sure that this wonderful postcard that I received in my PO Box today is from you. I checked out your website and the technique seems to match. I want to really thank you and let you know that I can't stop touching it. Thank you. <3

  • Julie McBee

    Hello! I received from you the other day (sorry, it took me a little bit to find you, I'm a newbie). Thank you so very much - I LOVE the piece!
  • Uncustomary

    Hello! I think you sent me a postcard and I wanted to thank you for it. It's called "PaperArt3". That's you, right?? Thanks so much. <3
  • Nadine Wendell-Mojica

    Greetings from California! Love the work you've posted. So interesting and beautiful. Will send you something inferior from here in hopes that you'll take pity and send me something that's fallen on the floor. I once got a card that looked like these from Australia with a photo of gas prices and Y2K. Was that you?????

  • Nadine Wendell-Mojica

    SOOO IT WAS YOU! That is really interesting. It was one of my first cards and it was such a trip it inspired me. Just my kind of thing. I'm working on something for you right now.

  • Terry Reid

    Christine, for you:  I am wondering if you have sent anything to the exhibition in Korea?  www.mailartprojects.blogspot.com/2011/09/secret-exchange.html

    Thankyou Chris for the beautiful surprise I received today! Flood art, wow, I love the mirror image effect, was that a tiny kimono? I'm glad you can turn a ruined artifact into something positive, sometimes my biggest mistakes become my best pieces! I like your window piece too. And reeeally like 014. So simple but it's genius.

    All the best with 365. Go Aussie, go!

    Regards,

    Vizma

    Thank you very much for the Flood Art card I received today! It is the first Mail Art from a fellow IUOMA member, so that makes it extra special. 

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thank you, Chris, for the super great "flood art" card that arrived in Greece today! #70 of the 365 project? Go, girl...you will complete "365" one day and it is a fun journey!

    I blogged your card along with Mim Scalin's. Great art! Thanks!

  • Terry Reid

    best with projects, Christine...sounding good!

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    BrisChris ;-) good to be your friend!

    See you in the mail often!

  • Terry Reid

    hope the quilting goes well

  • vizma bruns

    Pats on the back anytime you need them Chris! PAT! PAT! PAT! No worries!

  • Hanna Kantelinen

    Thank you very much for the Flood Art I received today! I love the idea of making art out of something that concerns your whole nation. All the best to you from Finland! -Hanna-

  • vizma bruns

    Oh Chris! That's so horrible! I'm glad my little mail art made your day, at least a little bit.

     I'm wishing you all the best for 2012, and hoping that the batteries from your camera leak all over the thief's hands and melt them! A bit drastic but, hey, karma and all that!!

  • Danielle Maret Williams

    Hi! Thanks for your comment, glad you like my photos. There are heaps more on my flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/bedazzle44/ if you want to have a look.

    Auchenflower huh? I spent a little time there as a youth, had some friends there. I went to high school in Sunnybank, on the south side.But gee - that was a while ago!

  • Danielle Maret Williams

    That is why I love mail art, I can commit to get it done, because they aren't very big. I prefer postcards, I find ATC's a little small, and forget inchies!!, They look awesome in a collection, but I cant seem work that small.

    Are you on swapbot? There are lots of quilting swappers on there.

  • vizma bruns

    Hi Chris! That IS good news! I can't believe you got the camera back!

    I've decided to keep 2 diaries this year, one just for art! Mostly so I don't forget to send mail art back to people! How's your 365 going?

  • vizma bruns

    Hi Chris!

     I was just looking through my photos and found your mailart along with another guys, in an unmarked file which I hadn't noticed...how rude of me!!! I'm uploading it right now!!! So sorry, hope you didn't think I was an ungrateful bitch!!!!? :-((( Hope you'll accept my apologies!

    Vizma. X

  • Danielle Maret Williams

    Thanks for the postcard Christine! I blogged about it here -  http://www.daniellemaret.com/blog/friday-postcards/  and will endeavor to reply soon!

  • Laura P (spopod)

    Looking forward to trading mail art with you, thanks, Laura

  • vizma bruns

    Hi! I've only made a few stamps, all the ones that look any good are from etsy or ebay I'm afraid!! Mine look like a child's chopping afternoon!!

  • vizma bruns

    Hey, you have a face, hooraY!! Nice to see you Chris!!

    My favourite shop is golden acorn. But put in rubber stamps and you'll be there for hours!!!

  • Emmy Verschoor

    Hi Christine,

    Thanks for your request and your nice comment.

    I will send you something this weekend.

    Lovely to share art with you!

    greetings Emmy

  • The Mailmonster

    I'm glad you like the Hydra :) and yes it is a lino-cut too or to be more specific one of the two proofs I printed and then added more color to by using felt pens in different shades of blue. I wrote about it on my blog: http://thepublicpostcard.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/hydra/ .

    And I also wrote a post about the wonderful flood art you sent me:

    Have a great mail art day!

  • Sarah Churchill

    Thank you for the totally inspirational Flood Art Christine. I will be photographing and blogging tomorrow to share it with everyone. Thanks again!
  • stripygoose

    Thank you in anticipation Christine :-) 

  • stripygoose

    Chris - mailart 178 is beautiful. When I saw that it had come through my letter-box I was delighted, really delighted. Thank you :>)))

  • Rebecca Cook

    Oh so beautiful is MailArt 179! I love it and I know it took you some time to do it. Thank you so much!!!!

  • Sarah Churchill

    I'm sorry that it took me so long to reply after receiving your wonderful Flood Art! I am usually so organised, but your name flew off my list at some point! I promise to do better next time! ;)
  • taidgh

    Hello Christina! Got Mail Art #197! Thanks a million for your beautiful and welcoming postcard. It was a wonderful surprise. You should be hearing from me soon. Have a great day ;)

  • stripygoose

    Hello Chris - so glad the birdie arrived. Did she get there safely? I gather her tail survived the journey (!) but I'm interested to know whether the rest was ok as it's the first time i've sent such a fragile postcard that far in the post. :>)
