Mail Art Martha

Thank you, says billytulip1956, who is more bronzed than green this week. it is very hot here, 35°+ -- be prepared, Baden.

Regards, Val & billyt

Good luck with the builders Martha... and yes the Little Red Hen - love it - perhaps stripygoose is related? :>)

"R" could be for "rapscallion" or "rascal" or "rambunctious" ... (so funny!)

I never drink Stella (bah, industrial lager). So I’ll join you in the Leffe’s sweetie!

Great - thank you Martha! :))  Have a good day.

So there is the famous blue cat named Fleur! That's a wonderful card, and you're welcome to send it out to the other cat loving mail artists.

More fun!

:D I'm working on a series of Trash Bubbles in the color palette, white, black and red...

Many many thanks!!! Peace & love from Greece...

Manyt many thanks!!! Love & peace from Greece...

Thank you. :D Glad you enjoyed them.

I'm glad that you liked the little hanging tag that I made for you. It was lots of fun to make!

That little black and white cat was a very friendly resident at the boarding school that my nephew used to attend. The cat also reminded me of my cat Jean-Claude (1977-1989), who was a real sweetheart.

No problem, Martha. I totally understand. I'm happy you enjoyed the bookie. I can send you the "folding" instructions sometime if you want to make your own bookie. They are fun to make. Have a great time on your vacation! Thank you for blogging about it :^)

Bon voyage!

See ya in Sigean?!

Bonjour! On Snail Mail, look at the stuff that Stripygoose has posted lately. It might interest you. Regards, Val

1. like assembling press in a window for street : actualy on display : brain cell , phoenix declaration , notice sur le Musée de la conserve , une annonce officielle Librairies en fète , la présentation of a way of drilling horizontal , cela évite de creuser des tranchées ( il va y avoir des travaux pour la pose de nouveaux égouts )

Wow - just been looking at all yur received mailart and your photos of the Sigean trip - fantastic. looking forward to a snailarty chat on Saturday at the Windmill :>)

You're welcome Martha. I love it too when mailart drops through the letterbox :>) 

Pigs! What a great thing to draw.  I would've liked to have been there.  Too tricky to fit it in this time but Tate Britain in Jan perfect! Some of us are meeting in Suffolk next weekend.  You're always welcome here too!

Hi Martha,

Did Keth Bates make one of these name-artistamps for you? If so, could you send me the images (r.janssen@iuoma.org , of just publish it here?  Am collecting all the logo's....

Thanks so much,

Ruud

Hi Martha, I've joined issuu!  Thanks.

Hi Martha,

couldn't read / see the image. Can you send it by e-mail insetead to r.janssen@iuoma.org?

thank you!

Ruud

here it is to see....

Hi Martha! Glad you liked my card! Yes we're friends! You're in my friend's list :)

Bonsoir!

Thanks for the Xmas card.

I was going to send you an Easter Egg, but think I'll eat it instead.

The vanguard artist strategy sheets are interesting. I can think of two others: i) Deanmarksism, ii) bricolage (which I always thought was found art, or trash art or even arte povere, but on reading the recent obituary of the Austrian artist Frank/Franz West found out that he called this stuff bricolage. There are lots of bricolage shops in France that don't sell art).

I'll be mailing you something back soon.

Hope you are both well, nay all 3 of you as I mustn't forget the shopping trolley.

Regards, Val

Thanks for the kind comment Martha. Glad to have you as a friend.

Cara amica Martha, I never use translator when writing to friends (sometimes to understand some long sentences) so it is even funnier for you :-)  !!

are the old crowd wiser and work on paper? I am daily involved in dog/cat shelter charities works , and work in a municipality office, so always frustrated with my parallel life (artist) and if I have to choose I would say I prefer paper, cutouts, glue, scissors. I am guilty because I work part time in order to have mondays free for artist work.... It does not work very much because women temptations often win (to iron, houseworks and put the home at the minimum levels of neatness) But I'm still fighting!

Hey, Martha, Great to hear from you.  I have been out of the loop for a few months.  I am sending you something soon.  )  Take care, Martha from US

Martha!!! Your fabulous envelope arrived today. I LOVE both pieces-the alcoholic trashpo is fantastic and the story even better--I love that it became interactive between you and the waiter. Also the beach piece is whimsical and I will blog at my soonest. Thank you and I hope my piece has arrived by now. I also feel as though I will have to put some more 'classy' trashpo in the mail to you:)   hugs

DK

Mail Art Martha left a comment for yves maraux

ooooooooooooooh! sounds exciting.

Glad you liked the 'goodies'.

I think I've read some of the Montalbano stuff -- in translation, of course. Amm my policiers are at the bottom of the house, and I'm at the top, so I can't check on things right now.

Wishing the two of you un trés bon weekend (and the same in Italian, too).

Bestest, Val

Welcome to Trashpo, although you've been doing it a long time and maybe invented it. I look forward to genuine MM Trashpo.

I have enjoyed seeing your work here at Yoma, so I am familiar to a degree.

I have only experimented with roaDKill in mail-art in terms of what we call Synthetic roaDKill: fake fur, red ink etc. 

I do look forward to seeing if your work fits in any of my blog series such as "TrashPo Etics," "The Decadence of Trashpo," "New Directions in Trashpo," etc. I'm sure it does.

Thanks again. Looking forward.

Hi Martha! Just received your art!!!! Wow!!!!! Very very beautiful! Also visited your blog! Many many thanks!!!! I would like very very much continue exchanging mail art with you! Love your colours!!! ;)

My trashbin is my art.

Based on what's coming in, my next Investigative Mail-art piece is likely to be: "Has Trashpo Sold Out?" We'll see where you fit in.

Thankyou! That looks a very neat, well organised and very beautiful book shelf. I'm honoured to be included in it! Regards
