Fabiana Menassi

Dear Fabiana,

Bonjour and Welcome to IUOMA!

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.

You have to get started somewhere, and I wonder if you would 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. (Make sure that you provide your mail address on your Page and/or the piece that you send me so that I will know where to reply to In fact, if you don't provide a mail address here you probably won't receive any mail art!)

There are a few people I know whwo are teachers and are interested in school mail art exchanges -- Cristian Sima from Romania is one, Andytgeezer in London is another, and you may want to contact them.

Hoping you enjoy your IUOMA days.

Regards,

Val Herman

More photos, involving more schools, will be posted later today (I hope) . Regards from your New Friend Val

Cara Fabiana, tarde sim mas, não por isso menos boas vindas.  Desde a capital mais fria do Brasil quero lhe as mais cálidas boas vindas ao Ethernal Network, uma república de artistas postais cuja moeda de curso legal é a troca da sua arte.  Entender como funcionam as coisas por aqui pode levar algum tempo, porém, que nada lhe impeça de começar aquilo que nos convoca por aqui: o sagrado escambo de arte postal.

Duas coisas: a primeira é que se eu puder ser de alguma ajuda quanto a como algo funciona por aqui conte comigo, me pergunte.  A segunda é que quando achar que é o tempo certo e nutritivo de começar a trocar sua arte, quero ter o privilegio ser um dos seus parceiros nisso.  Quando sentir que chegou a hora de começar apenas mande algo do que sua criatividade produz para:

O Escriba Celestial

Caixa Postal 24827

Curitiba-PR

80510-970

Assim que receber o que me envia lhe avisarei.  A seguir farei a minha parte.  O trabalho de casa que cabe a um artista postal da República de Patland, o lugar no Universo onde este escriba se convocou para nascer.  Esta é uma promessa celestial.  Sou Patricio, Escriba Celestial e Provedor de Envelopes.  *.
