Hi Valentine: Did you receive my mail art? best wishes

nice exhibit. if i payed more attention around here, i'm starting to,  i would have sent something for your show. best to you. 

Thanks val. I did visit your site and love  Golden Dawning and Serenity masks! Very nice work indeed.

Thank you very much Val!!!! I received your mail art. It is niceeeee!!!!!!!! We are in touch!!!

On Polinators group, may I post this part of your message as "received from Val?"

Pollinators!
Bonjour!

...in pots on my terrace are lots of lavender plants, flowers, herbs and a honeysuckle tree or two. In previous years, they have been visited by lots of bees, butterflies and ladybirds.

Almost none of these have been seen this year -- and I haven't seen a bee on the lavender for a  couple of weeks now.

I read that the European bee population has been struck by a virus and is in danger. If what is happening, or rather not happening on my terrace is typical, then this is very true.

On my daily walks in the countryside with my friend's dog, there's hardly a butterfly around -- all the exotic, colourful and splendid ones have gone.

Alas.

Val

Cher Val- Merci beaucoup! pour le carte postale!  I love the sea monsters and promise to take good care of them!  Merci, Merci!

Hello Val, how is the dotting going? Are you still being stalked? Please say hello to Dorothy.

I received the monsters. thank you . i thought of them while i was at the beach with my family ,i saw a sea branch that looked like a reaching arm. next time ill take a picture for you.

Hi Val,

Thank you for your sea monsters which I received yesterday. I will take good care of them, although I'm not sure what they eat...

Will be sending you something soon.

Emily.

maybe that'll explain it. I don't know anything about it - just heard it mentioned and I remembered  ? that you have an interest in cassettes, old cameras etc?

Hi Val,

I received your art about a week ago. What a delight and surprise.Love the images, especially both sets of the Beatles paintings! Will post it soon.  Working on a show in China and a couple national shows in California and Chicago with deadlines coming in next 3 weeks..

Best to you!

Hi there

I have sent you a request to exchange mail art...by mail!

I received one of your funky pieces featuring The Beatles today. It's foggy and rainy here (very dreary) and receiving something so bright through the letterbox has improved my mood immensely. The carrot on the IV beta carotene is fab!

I am sending something back to you very soon.

Hi Val--I'm glad that you liked TOFU's collage. To see more of his 'beer' collages go to 

http://www.tofuart.com/

PS: Your dot paintings are awesome! You are a model for aging gracefully and creatively.

Hi Val--sorry, but I'm not available on Wednesday ;)

Thanks for documenting your latest exhibition--I even found my postcard among the hundreds that you received.

Valentine, thank you for your kind words about my "Water-Acqua" collaged card!  Hope that you are having a great day! - Gail

exposição de arte mail vai ser em Oliveira de Azeméis-PORTUGAL

todos recebem certificado de participação

obrigada

Hi there

My name is a nickname. My family calls me 'petal' - but I don't feel like a part of a fragile flower! So I added the 'petrol' to signify that I can get down and dirty with the best of them!

Looking forward to receiving your mail!

Valentine,

Thanks for the mail art. Very cool piece. Glad you enjoyed the Rose

Hi Val, I received your collage and great mixture of festivals. Thank you so much! Did you visit the Short Film Festival Nijmegen?

Many thanks for your comments! In fact I didn't know how to say "pochette surprise pour un écureuil" in English. It's like a "box full of surprises for a squirell".

I hope Alfonso will receive it because French Post let me know that mail art are some times lost....

I will send you a mail art before I leave France to return in Africa, where I live now and where the Post lost all mails...   

Have a nice day!

Thank you, my dear MARK :-)

blogged:

NAI! evet! yes from Val!

thank !you are a good singer and perfect gentleman !

Oscar say hi. He is a Syrian hamster the last two were Roborovskis and they are incredibly fast. Their names are Roger and Rafa after two great tennis players.

Cats and hamsters don't mix but some are friends.

And another wonderful card from you today, I love the mix of paint with your found card, great stuff. Nothing but new makings in the coming week!

I'm going to post your mail art today afternoon!

let me know when you received it!!

have a nice weeekend

Happy Birthday, Valentine!  Have a great one! - Gail Anderson

happy birthday mr president one hundred of this days !

Some mail-art from South Africa coming your way...

My hamster was Chinese Dwarf called Cherry she died within 5 days the next lot were two Robrovski. Boy were they fast. I never knew dwarf hamsters existed until I saw them in the pet's shop, the biggies Syrian or Golden I knew already. Hamtaro. They were meant to be for someone else always me who ends looking them. Oscar is like my baby I did tame him since he was 3 weeks old. I have heard of these stories of owners keeping cat and hamster together. They get upset when cat eats the hamster.

I actually want a rat because they are cute, a work colleague kept rats he had 7 of them. One will do fine. Please don't eat Oscar because he is also my muse.

It is great to name pets after cool people. Hamster's name tend to begin with 'H' or have 'HAM' I knew one called Hamish. Come on be original. Besides Oscar is top 5 of popular pets' name. Thanks to hamsters I can't stop them from invading my mailart.

Hey there! Thanks for the card - I am happy to report that I am enjoying both IUOMA and life! Obviously yet to identify the fly in the ointment!

mail will be out soon.

Belated Happy Birthday, my dear Valentine...

Oct 15...and eye-poppin' day for me, too! :-)

Valentine,

Thanks so much for the great "Just Mail Art" entry. Really a nice piece.

Back in June, you sent me a welcome email to the group.  I have rented my PO Box and will get an item in the mail. I got a good number, it totals to 13 and that reduces to 4 and there are two fours in the number.

Thank you Val!

Val--

The display for mail art for the Celebrate IUOMA 25 Call for Entries was a success. Your mail art contributed to his popularity with visitors. Thank you again for participating. Read my report about the event on my IUOMA Blog or in entry #42 at http://decordisart.blogspot.com/

Wow, that's a nice new profile photo of yours Val! Although I miss looking at your hat collection this one is cool.

Clearly they removed your foot and placed a wooden "thing" there instead, I would complain if I were you. Get well soon and boone weekend to you too.

Thank you Val! I trust your convalescence after the foot op. is going well though from your new profile pic. I am a little worried... actually looks as if someone might have just stamped on your foot... : > )

Yes indeed Val. Thank you! Click on the link in my previous message and you'll see your bird mail art and some others I've received too : > )

To answer your question about my numbering system....I started MailArt365 on Dec 1, 2010, but was determined to not stress about the daily thing. It actually took me 20 months to complete the first 365...and then I just kept numbering. Now I'm well into my second 365. It may be weird, but it works for me! :P

Item in the mail.  Thanks for clarification about the house number - I wondered if you lived in house #1. 

Hello Mark! Details...

Hi Val,

I received one of your Darlo prints yesterday. Thanks a lot. I will send something back soon.

By the way, who is the tortoise in your profile picture? Is it your pet?

Best wishes,

Emily.

Nice slide show!
