Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I appreciate thoughtful and creative mail art and enjoy making and sending it. Please note, if you wish to include me in any add-n-pass projects, please make sure they are something with a theme and not simply an excuse to mail flotsam and jetsam around the world. I have receive too many add-n-passes that feel like old fashioned chain letters. When those arrive, I am no longer adding and/or passing.

    Welcome Tofu. Funny, I know a dish by that name. I now live across the Bay in San Pablo but I call San Francisco my hometown. If you would like to exchange mail art send me something and I'll send something in return.

    This is a friendly welcome to The Eternal Network from a celestial mail artist 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 it’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.

    Hello Tofu! Thanks for your terrific bit of art to hide in a book. I'm not sure which book it will be hid in yet, something worthy of the art I think. Thanks a million. Have a great weekend.
