    I was pretty sure that the bottle wouldn't crack cause these micro breweries usually makes the bottles sturdy enough although they wasn't made for being thrown around so it was a chance :).  Kudos to the Swedish and US postal workers. When I worked as a mail man some 20 years ago we got a wooden box to the post office that smelled of whiskey, it turned out that it didn't make it although it was well packed, a nice old whiskey smell and a book soaked in it was what the recipient got that time.

    BF-is Storm your cat? Just seeing Angie's post. One of my most specialist cats died last year and his name was Storm. Thank you very much for the artiststamps. I'm sure I will not be able to bring myself to use them. Is it me or have you not been around that much lately? hope you're doing well

       That sounds awsome, the bottle continues it's journey! Niklas

  • DKeys

    Hey BF--that would be wonderful!!  You sent me the RUSH snail mail stamps

  • vizma bruns

    Oh my godness (sic) BF! You've made some and are remaking them for me? You're too much!

    I just googled polymer stamps, so are they the clear ones you stick to acrylic? I have both types in my collection. Gotta work out what to send you in return, hmm, I'll have to put my drunkpo thinking hat on!

  • DKeys

    thanks BF--will let you know when they arrive:)

  • Kendra Given Carter

    Hi! Haven't been on here in a while. Yes, I did watch it, though I was semi asleep so I plan on watching it again. I remember some craziness involving fried chicken and a weird corpse beauty parlor. Haha! I definitely want to watch it again fully conscious because it seems so wonderfully absurd. Also working on something to put in the mail for you. I'll keep you posted.

  • vizma bruns

    Let's just give the polymer ones a go, hey? I don't want you to go to any more trouble...plus I can't waaaaaaait to see them!! Thanks BFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

  • Alicia Starr

    Giving back to the community. Love this story.

    Back home after midsummers eve celebrations, -recovering. Looking forward to see how the gummed stamps looks like. Is it pre-gummed or do You "paste" it on Yourself?

  • Eraser Heed

  • Kendra Given Carter

    I'm working on a little something for you. I should have it out by Friday.

  • Jay Block

    Thank you for the Cadillac and Medicinal Cannabis stamp and envelopes... both are beautiful.

    That's not true! I just haven't finished it yet. I finally sat down and watched half of it last night and I'll finish it sometime this week. My boyfriend was falling asleep, so we shut if off and went to bed. I had to laugh when Aimee said she was named after Aimee McPherson, as I am a fan of Sister Aimee! Lots of great, subtle jokes that are easily missed if one isn't savvy. I am eager to finish the movie, so don't you worry! I am really enjoying it so far.

    Heck-static to get your mail today! Drunk again, and you used my googly eye-dea!! Cool, I love them, thanks!

    I sent you a pretty googly, drunkpo boekie last week, just a collaged South Aussie wine thing. So many of the bottles reminded me of you.. or maybe I was just drunk. Cheers.

  • Jan Ketonen

    Not yet! I am keenly watching for it though!
  • vizma bruns

    Ha, 8 feet of drunkpo, good one, you don't have to blog it, it'd be way too hard! I could barely photograph it!

    So chuffed to be 1 of 2 on the receiving end of googly eyed you! They are so funny, but of course they'll go straight into my collection, not to be used, rare as they are. Can I just make fakes/photocopies to stick on mail? I think you may need to do a Drunk again version of me too, since all I'm doing this winter is boozing to keep warm!! Ha ha! 

    Cheers deary,

    googly Viz. %-))

  • Jan Ketonen

    My Blessed mail arrived today- wicked awesome stuff! Thank you!!!
  • Jay Block

    BF,

    Do you still do rubber stamps?  Is this do-able...many thanks

  • Jay Block

    I will work something up in black and white using the graffiti as a starting point.  Thanks much

  • DKeys

    blessed be to thee, thanks for the great mail you sent recently!!

  • DKeys

    RS--I can't bring myself to use the Storm stamps. I will save them for now. It's kind of a weird instinct that people have to collect things don't you think? I am not a sentimental person either, but I miss my kitty.

  • DKeys

    I know--I love all animals, but like people, there are some that are truly special. It takes a long time to bond with cats sometimes. I will always miss him. Hope you're having a good week. blessed be:)

  • Eraser Heed

       Hi BF   Totally greatful for the two arcs of stamps I got today. I get alot of good feedback on them so they are appreciated in full. I knew that You could do with a nun as company, great envelope! This summer I have done nada when it comes to art but with this envelope from You I am trigged again. The beer is out and my son is starting kindergarden again and Josepha is home and well..

    EH

  • Eraser Heed

    I hope Your back is ok after the weightlifting, quite a perforator! It does make a good result, I used to collect old stamps and became a little of an expert on different perforations, mostly odd variations.. Ill gladly send You more eraser prints, choose wich You want and do what You want with them, I will soon make more but an envelope is on its way today. Until later!

  • David Stafford

    TBF,

    G'day Rick! Got your wicked mail today and was blown away with the excellence of the stamps...they are SHIT HOT! Laser printing, hey? They look so goood, they could almost pass for Australia Post official stamps. You're a freak. But in a good way.

    Sending you a sample of my crappy artists stamps in the next mail, you should get a laugh from them, as they are truly weak. Maybe 5 goodies in the A4 sheet.

    You are truly cruel for taunting me with those VB rubber stampings you keep sending me, you know I'll be too old for playing with them by the time I get 'em!! Or as old as you, ahhh ha ha, oh shit, there's no chance of me getting them now...hey?

    But thanks so much for the VB (very best) stamp sheets, I'm so lucky!!! ;-))

  • vizma bruns

    Of course it's ok that I have to mount them, I wouldn't care if I had to walk across coals in my undies to get them. And don't be sorry...gee, I thought you would have just told me to wait my turn and that I'm a greedy wench! Is everything ok in your part of the world? you haven't gone religious, have ya? ;-))) Thanks again for being so terrific to me. xxx

  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Do we get to see a walk across in the undies photo?

    Come on...don't be shy!

  • vizma bruns

    Huh? What are you doing here? This is a private holy confession, thanks very much, Val! Get to the back of the queue!! 

  • Bruno Cassaglia

  • Jay Block

    Looks great can I have three?  Never know which future to occupy...

  • Jay Block

    The size is perfect, whatever wood you think best... nothing last forever.

  • Jay Block

    What should I send your for your excellent help?  More than a Hail Mary certainly.

  • Jay Block

    Not a problem, when you get to it is fine with me.

  • Eraser Heed

    I am soo looking forward to see them IRL. 8 sheets of each!!! Wow! See ya!

  • Bethany Lee

    I sent you mail in response to the American Luxury envie you sent filled with artistamp goodness! I posted pics of the incoming on my blog, if that will help jog your memory. :)

    Fun indeed!! Will do!

  • Eraser Heed

    Just got the massive envelope from San Diego. Wow! A collaboration to be proud of!!! You nailed both stamps. Will send to You and Visma and make some kind of blog to show them in. Also love what You did with the envelope. Until later. Niklas
  • Eraser Heed

    I keep staring at these nice stamps Rick. Tell me if there is someone else You/we wish to send to. Keeping track is good. Looking forward to see the finished Scream.

  • Eraser Heed

    Sorry but I have not much knowledge about  macs, maybe there is some ideas in the forum, I have seen technical advices there..

  • JOB [5Blanks]

    A burden has been lifted off my shoulders. Today I received an official remission of my sins, and the added benefit of preferential treatment for any future sins. I also now have a get-out-of-hell-free card! Thank goodness; I was sweatin' that one a bit.

    All thanks to The Blessed Father. I feel a sense of weightlessness and it brings me joy!  Amazing that such messages can appear in my mailbox after a long, grueling week at work! Thanks again, BF! 

  • Eraser Heed

    Haha, I wanna see those headlines for the "rain coat happening", and what a great commemorative stamp it could be! 

    Niklas

  • JOB [5Blanks]

    great! after my holidays i´ll send something back.
    bye.

  • Eraser Heed
