Nah, I still don't understand buitenspel. By the way, I am now very close to the house where Johan lived when he started to play football. In Betondorp.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you... I put my full name in an anagram generator and picked out some fun pseudonyms... not as cryptic as it might seem :D

Another good one that I have not put into use yet is "Almond inlay dear"

My first name is Danielle!  Are you still looking for mail for Sigean? Or is it too late?

Best-

Danielle

Hi  Valentine, is very simple, if you want to participate in Mail-Art M.V.A.O.W. simply make a small installation with concrete and the little car that will send you reinterpreting the work of Wolf Vostell. The installation has to perform it on the street, somewhere like that to you, take a picture and send it to me. Thank you for your participation!

Hi Val. Working with cement (concrete) at this scale is not very difficult. You just need to make a mixture of cement (concrete), a little water and some stones ... I buy the cement (concrete) at the store where you usually buy my oil paintings, acrylic, plaster, canvas ... also you can buy in a hardware store ... You can also use any other material that you choose.

Is this a Valentine Lino on Brain Cell #827? Looks like a Val-Li to me :-)

Lower section almost middle:

Nice lino print, Val.I really like the red feather!

Yep, i have to be "quite quiet" because i am out at the seaside, and definitely swimming and enjoying the neighborly company, sitting under the olive tree and keeping "cool" in this heat.

Also, my internet service is very weak and slow out here. On the weekends it will probably all but disappear when all the young stuff come out with their laptops and iPods, etc. Sometimes, before 7 a.m. or after midnight, or now during seista time...I might, maybe, perhaps get a signal...we'll see :-)

And a few weeks ago I got a huge package from Ryosuke with 30 Brain Cells, too:

hallo, val...

tomorow this little box with children's works will start to you...

good luck  for your exhibition...

Self Addressed Stamped Envelope. 

Because of the Romanian Post Office advices formular I had to send the works to your home address.. 

Glad You liked it! :) It has held together a lot of piles of mail in its days...

The biker dude is a Swedish legend among Swedish cyclists, I had the opportunity to train with him once when I was about 17. I had eaten the biggest breakfast ever seen cause my trainer told me I was going on an 120-150 kilometer round  that day. But in the last minute he had arranged me to go with the junior Swedish team and this Gösta Pettersson, an honour for sure when he laughed at me when I could not withhold their tempo for 30 kilometers, because that day their mission was to train for fast short laps...

I wasn't good cycling material but I love the aestethicism about it. AND the Tour is better than the Giro... :)

Thank you! I will hopefully send something soon! It's really good to have someone who I can ask questions and rely on...

Yasmine

P.S. I live in Sydney, about an hour and a half's drive away from Terrigal.

I made a little gift for you for all your help..it's just a bookmark but I like it very much..I hope you can find use for it..thank you..I can send it out tomorrow :)

Thank you Val! I'm excited to send you some mail-art! My address is:

#8-355 4th Avenue

Kamloops, B.C.

V2C 3P1

I'm making some prints over the next month, so I will send it to you as Mail-Art! Cheers!

Bonjour et merci Val!

I'm still getting my bearings around here. I WILL agree to an exchange with you seing as how you're the first person to really ask me on here.  Honestly I don't do a lot of Mail Art. I mostly do collages and leave them out in public as street art. I have started sending a very few items out as mail art but I spend such a long time working on each collage that I don't really have enough work to send to everyone who contacts me.  - I will be sending out a few items soon but when I do, I also send some out to addresses that are not expecting it. For instance, I have one I'm sending to an address in Paris where Theo van Gogh ran an art gallery in the 1880s addressed to "Current Occupant"... things like that. I know there is a vibrant community here in trading Mail Art and I'd like to be somewhat involved but I will have a very limited amount of work to share so I am forced to be quite particular. - Perhaps I'll write something to that effect in my bio... - Thanks for the contact and advise.

Merci! - Lance

Val,

Thank you for your lovely welcome!  I start Claudia's collage class on Wednesday and will pass on your hello.  I am very new to all of this but promise to send you some mail art in the next few weeks.  I appreciate you asking for me to do so!

Take Care,

Christine

I got the car too...didn't really understand it at first but your pics cleared it all up. I guess I do need concrete.  Are you putting concrete in the box to mail it back?!?

Hi Val, I'm glad that you enjoyed the "scrap" add and pass! I hope that you found some things to keep as well.

I just finished up a series of prints and there's one for you. It should be in your mailbox soon!

I love summer --- it's my favorite season. I don't have any money to do any traveling this year, but a "staycation" in Oakland and San Francisco is a mighty fine thing indeed!

thanks really a lot for your kind invitation! greetings from the alp mountains near "zugspitze" :)

Hi Val, I'm happy that you enjoyed my art.  I saw that you like botanicals so I addes a fern print. Have a fun day,Stephanie

:)

Hi Val,
Where I can see those eight photos? What you have to do is setup with the car that I sent you inspired by the work of Wolf Vostell, photograph your work and send me the picture.
Greetings.

----------------------------

Salut Val,
Où puis-je voir ces huit photos? Qu'est-ce que vous avez à faire est de configurer avec la voiture que je vous ai envoyé inspiré par le travail de Wolf Vostell, photographier votre travail et envoyez-moi l'image.
Salutations.

Here is an example of what I have done.

----------------------

Voici un exemple de ce que j'ai fait.

Thank you for your message. The temperature lingered around 100 F for a few days and very humid (bad hair days.) Now it is rainy and a cooler 80 F. We are off to to the beach for a two-week holiday hooray! I'll still be making mail art! Be well, Marguerite

Hi Val, 'bruist' means 'sparkles' like in 'full of energy / activity . Champagne also 'bruist' as does asprobruis, a kind of aspirine. (You could replace Oost by Val, hihi).Hope the cap suits your tan from the Sigean Sun.

Yes, have been watching De Tour but not enough to my liking. Watched it on Belgium television as I get a spontaneous rash when I have to listen/look to Mart Smeets.

Good luck with the lotery but an exotic Geleen? Is there another one on this globe, then?

PS too: Found an interesting retro apparaatski in my dad's drawing things. Can make you another laber for the mail-art-box ;))

Hi Val! If you do not mind I'd like you to send me photos to the following E-mail: elagujerodemirna@gmail.com
The car can have it.
Greetings.

Aaaaahhh, what a shame we didn't win the jackpot. Thank you for your report! Mart Smeets eat your heart out. This year he will finally retire... they say. I have another kien-formulier, StripyGoose sent it to me. Will fill in the numbers and send it your way. Is it gezellig at the kien-night? Hope you have fun.

Hi Valentine!!!  It's beautiful, big, big hug for you, my friend!!!

Warm greetings ...

Very nice background on your page.  Where can I buy one?

Hello

Thanks for all the attention. It will be very interesting to get in touch with teachers who spoke. My desire is to make an exchange between the school I work with other countries through the mail art.

Greetings!

Finally I have delivered 14 pieces of mailart to the post office in Palm Desert, CA, USA ...today !!!!   Yipee !

Hi! I recieved the add n' pass you sent, and was thrilled to open it :) Have sent it on. It is really exciting to know that it could reach many people and bring joy to them too!

Thanks, Yasmine

Goedenavond Val ! Thanks so much for acknowleding receipt of my IUOMA mail.  I didn't e xpect it to arrive that rapidly.  The sketchy watercolor I included is not me, sometimes I just doodle with rest of paints.  After a very bad three weeks in July we now have some kind of summer. I love sitting on the terrace with a good book !   Have a great weekend.
