The Blessed Father

Dear blessed, this is a friendly welcome to The Eternal Network from a celestial born and raised in a heavenly corner of the faraway universe called Republik van Patland.  A perfect start here is mail-art exchange. I would love to be the other end when you decide it’s the right time for you to start trading art. If that’s the case at the time, your envelope should read as follows:

The Celestial Scribe                                                                                         
Caixa Postal 24827
Curitiba-PR
80510-970
Brazil

II look forward to see your piece in my terrene mailbox.  Yes! I will do my homework after receiving yours.  This is nothing less than a celestial promise.  I’m Patricio, Celestial Scribe & Envelope Provider

Blessed Father,

I feel so honored!!! Thank you. I hope you are well in sunny California, I used to live there when I was in the Marine Corps. San Diego's quite a place.

Hi Blessed father.  I will send you a photo of the bothy soon. Officially it probably shouldn't be called a bothy because bothys are in Scotland, but we once went on a very long hike to a bothy and it wedged its way in our sense of the romantic and so the re-built chicken shed in our field is our bothy.  It is made of straw bales and is nearly all plastered with lime and hair plaster.

Apparently the cider has produced enough alcohol to bottle.  Does that make it hard? The apples are from a little 'orchard' of trees that my husband planted.  We do the Wassailing thing every year: put toast soaked in cider and hang it on the branches of the trees and bang pots and pans so that the trees bear lots of fruit - on twelfth night.  We dig in fence wire to keep the muntjacs, rabbits and hares out and finally this year my husband and son were able to bottle 32 (I think) bottles of cider from his own apples. It would be great to use your label design, in fact we could use a range of label designs if others want to participate.  I'll post photos with labels on bottles and if you ever get to Ringshall you can have a bottle or two of cider!

Blessed Father,

Finally, some reprieve!! I now have a Get Out Of Jail Free Card!!! The Remission of Sin is something I have wondered about having. Thanks man. I have to say, those are some real rad artistamps. I loved the cannabis one. I have to find a tiny stamp frame.

Right, right!! I meant to say that! Of course, what's difference? hahaha

To a blessed from a celestial: No, your piece haven´t arrived yet. Ordinary postal time delivery to/from South América is longer than what you are used to in USA.  Both, the US and the Brazilian mail do their job very well.  Let´s allow some extra time for these people.  The Celestials have worked, the hevanly doors are fully open for your piece, oh blessed!.  Don´t worry, I´ll keep you posted!

Thanks for the friend request.

Thanks!

Oh my Lord!!! I'm now an AMA member!!! This is just awesome. Thank you so much, Blessed Father!!! I have been so (ehem) blessed to receive all this awesome (ehem) swag. You are deserving some really badass mail art (after the one I sent yesterday. Give me some time, it'll be worth it.

Your humor is right up my alley, man. I dig it.

it's  "like television snow"

Please sign your cat up. That would be great. I bet he can drink me under a table.

Grazie! un caro abbraccion, bruno

I don't think I have received the dog tacos yet. I'll keep an eye out!

Noooooo!!! Sending a little something to you today...keep the faith! ;-)

Bothy in the hoar frost

'Edgycated' brilliant!  All that stuff in the trailer is straw.  The inside of the bothy is straw and lime plaster. 

HI BF Not sure why it is so small.  The original I sent is a regular sized pic and 10 x 8 3,500 + resolution...

Oh man!! I look forward to that, BF. And I love the canceled stamp idea. Yeah, I want to make some postage on zazzle.com with that face.

And your wife is so beautiful!! I just love that picture, it's a riot.

Haha, I love that sign! Priests in training. Just perfect.

Definitely Blessed Father. I am preparing a DKult Recruitment Kit for you. Regards, DVS

BF,

Yeah man, it's 78739. Sorry! I hope I didn't mess it up. But, if you sent it, they're both pretty close, haha. 

I just looked them up. They seem like a great organization!! I would love a "OPEN WHILE DRUNK" stamp

Thanks for the awesome poem:

http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/the-blessed-father-obm...

Yeah, I think so, but I still got those two ladies on the card stock  My mail is being forwarded from that address, so it's all good.

I'm going to mail you something tomorrow.

Hi Father,

Will have a post out to you in the next few days.  Enjoy

BF, I didn't get those stamps, just the poem.

L'italiano è l'unica lingua che so parlare ... non sono bravo a imparare altre lingue :-) ...

Ah good, weird is the best way to be. I LOVE the artiststamp image you made, apart from the spelling error! Everyone thinks it's BURns when it's BRUns!! Either that or they make me a ViSma not a ViZma!! Ha!

I WISH I could make stamps, but unfortunately down here on the South coast at the farm, the nearest I can get to gummed paper would be to boil down a horse and make my own...!!

Have you sent any crap down to Oz? Go ahead and I'll send a bunch of crap right back to you. Seeya in the mail, BF!!

Viz.

Print and perforate!?? What ? Are you Santa or something?? That has made my day!!!!!!

Thank youuuuu! Yes, glue stick is fine, we have that here!!;-P

Gee, I can't remember how I did it...that's me in the pic with an octopus on my head (it's dead) and I did the colours on the computer, yes must've been Photoshop, but then I cut out the face and photographed it again to get the shadow. Here's the pic before it got cropped for my profile.

Hi BF,

I have just received your soul. Thank you. Posted on the blog this evening.
