Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I love to create things - but even more than that I like to share the things I make. I love the inspiration that comes from receiving art from others, and nothing beats the experience of holding actual art (as opposed to just looking at electronic images,say). I like having 'treats' to look forward to - and receiving mail art is a big treat for me. I get huge joy from imagining how my art is travelling, and how it will be received when it arrives. It makes me smile.

  • Patricio - The Celestial Scribe

    Earthling, this is the last but certainly not the least welcome message to IUOMA you receive. I’m a celestial mail artist living in a heavenly corner of the faraway universe called Republik van Patland. When you joined IUOMA on September 12 I was unable to welcome you on board.  At the time I was in a celestial journey far beyond the Milky Way. Now, back to planet Earth, I´d love to be the other end when you decide it’s the right time to start trading snail mail art. If this is the case at the time your envelope should read as follows:

    The Celestial Scribe

    Terrene Embassy

    Republik van Patland

    Caixa Postal 24827

    Curitiba-PR

    80510-970

    Brazil

    I look forward to see a piece of yours in our terrene mailbox. I will do my homework after receiving yours. This is nothing less than a Celestial Promise. I’m Patricio, Celestial Scribe & Republik van Patland official envelope provider.

     

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    Thank you very much, Petrolpetal. I look forward to your m.a. arriving and will send in return.

    I love wax and always wished to use it--but not possible in my situation. So, the painting and folding of book pages in various ways and use of accidentally paint-splattered waxed paper takes its place instead. 

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Greetings to South Africa! I will happily await mail art from you, and will reply too. Greetings to Cheryl, Lesley and Sue if you see them!

  • E Coles

    Hi Petrolpetal,

    I look forward to receiving your mail art. Not sure how long the post takes from S.A. to the U.K. but I will let you know when it arrives.

    Emily.

  • ZIEROMUKO

    "I get huge joy from imagining how my art is travelling, and how it will be received when it arrives". Celestial postal handling is the answer in this case. 

  • Rod Summers / VEC

    Thanks for joining the Venice group.  And we will snail-mail-it as soon as I'm back home here in Maastricht.  Age is no barrier:)  I was serving in the Royal Air Force sitting in a bunker deep under Maastricht, protecting the world against communist invasion when you were born :~) 

  • Rod Summers / VEC

    Hmmmm.... paranormal road.... wait!  I'm getting a message from beyond ....ah.... it is from someone I think you must know.... I'm getting "writing instrument"... do you know anyone called 'Pencil'?

  • Karin Greenwood

    Hullo, I used to live in PMB. Have quite a few friends living in Hilton. Take care Karin.

    Wotcha!

    In the NE of England, which is where I come from there are lots of affectionate names for women including, 'Duck', 'Luv', 'Sweets', 'Pet' and 'Petal'.

    Thanks for the explanation.

    Just don't get too far down and too dirty.

    Ta ra, Pet!

    Hello Petrolpetal - I received your great MA today - thank you! I am very busy with deadlines for the next month or so, but I shall try to get something out to you soon...

    btw, may I ask what kind of silver pen you used? I love it! It's so fine and thin (the lines it draws) - the one I have is quite thick.

    More creativity! Best, Cleo

  • Erica Durante

    Thank you for your mail art! I mailed you something on Friday.

  • Rebecca Guyver

    I have read one of Alexandra Fuller's books and have another I began but have never got back to. The world she depicts, lived, was nothing like my African spell, really, but I loved reading her account.  And then again, earlier in the year I met up with someone who had grown up in Kenya with English parents and she was completely dismissive of her books. I loved Kuki Galman's book,'I dreamed of Africa' probably because where she lived wasn't too far from was and I had tons and tons of snakes - in my house, in my pit latrine, in the garden (I shiver to even type it).   That same English Kenyan knows Kuki and wouldn't think of reading anything she wrote... 

    Thanks again for the mail art.  I hope to send you something soon!
