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.

Glad you liked the 9makers group site ! My address is 22 bracken lane , bebington, Wirral ch 63 2lz England. Can you let me have yours ? Looking forward to a swap :))
We had a 2 weeks post office strike and to make things worse I have been out of town for sometime now. I know that your piece arrive to Curitiba already, but that´s all I know. I´ll keep you posted. Thank you!
"...I love the inspiration that comes from receiving art from others". Falling in love will be an experience you´ll undergo sooner rather than later. Keep me posted!
Hi Petrolpetal. I do not see the submissions in person. they all go to the gallery and i am not there. they do email me pics of entries though and so far i have not seen yours. i will let you know. thanks for your participation!
Thanks Petrolpetal for your wonderful Christmas gift with ribbon (received December 24 :-) . Is it some tape cassette in the ribbon ? I love the idea ...and also your storm lantern to take the course when darkness! Something soon in the mail for you.
"... how happy your kind words made me!..." I don´t even imagine what words are u talking about but certainly yours made my day, my year (today is 01-01-14) and probably my entire mail artists life. :-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Hi Petrolpetal, glad you got it. These are real stamps issued in 2013 on the series "sauter du coq à l'âne" (jump from one thing to another), 12 stamps around some expressions of the French language.

"I get huge joy from imagining how my art is travelling, and how it will be received when it arrives" Me too. Because of your words, now I have the answer. All of them. The ball is in your curt now. Let´s keep inspiring each other.
hi petrol. i don't remember if i responded to you. i am going to see all of the entries this weekend. will let you know if yours is there as soon as possible.
I hope to send out mail next Thursday probably. Due to work I usually don't have enough time do it on a daily basis. If I'm lucky I get 3-4 pieces started and then finish them the same day I send them out.
How long has it been taking for you to receive mail from the U.S.? Will it take 3 weeks or much less? Thanks again for accepting my frienship.
Thank you for my first piece of mail art from SA. It was a great suprise. I love your use of different textures and collage elements, very inspiring! I'll make sure to post a photo up later and start my work on something in return for you. :)
I received your mail art yesterday. Thanks, it's great! I love the different textures and materials you used on your piece. I'll send you something back shortly.
You're welcome, Petrolpetal. That phrase came from an academic paper where they used it in all seriousness. I hope the authors don't see it and think I am making fun of their style (which I am, of course!)
