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.

    Hi Petrolpetal, Thanks for the beautiful little artsy envelope (love the colors) & cut-out person inside. So fun to get mail from South Africa! I can't see the postmark so not sure how long it takes from there to here (Northern California) but it arrived on Jan. 17. I'll figure out what to send back today  (-:

  • PIRO

    Great, will let you know as soon as it arrives. Something on your way also.

    Dear Petrolpetal, yeeeeeah, it's more than OK to send to me! Of course!!! Thanks!

  • Carina

    Hi Petrolpetal, It would be great fun to get mail art from you! Thanks. I will send you a reply.

    Greek dancers :

    There is a whole set of Greek dancers on the postage stamps, but they were in  circulation several years ago (2002), so they may be out of print. I'll check and send you the set if they have it, the next time I am in the central post office downtown.

    Something is in the mail already to you with two stamps of the girls dancing, 

    it's the 45 cents stamp. This stamp has been reprinted because the overseas postage has gone up o 90 cents, so now mail needs two of these.

  • Jeremy Ng

    I get huge joy from imagining how my art is travelling, and how it will be received when it arrives. It makes me smile.

    Your last art travelled efficiently.  It was a very fast trip to Cureitiba.  It was received wonderfully.  Yes, it made me smile.  Thanks!

  • Raphael'L

    Thank you so much Petrolpetal for your mail art received today. I'll post it on the IUOMA site.

  • Carmela Rizzuto

    Hi Petrolpetal--Your fanciful envelope reached me today--that's about 12 days of travel--not bad for 17,294 Km or 10,746 miles! Thank you for the cut-out insert, it will find its way into more mail art. It will be added to my IUOMA photo stream and will be blogged soon at    http://decordisart.blogspot.com/

    Mail art will be coming your way within the next 4-6 weeks.

  • Theresa Easton

    Hi Petrolpetal

    hope you are well. I had my first session working with some young people from Hartlepool on Monday.  It was a consultation session to find out about the group and see what they may be interested in.  You were one of the artists chosen by a young people to send work to, so I hope you receive it soon!  I am interested in the social history, how the women worked in the munitions factory making the shells to fire in the guns, which were then converted into trench art!

    If you are interested you are welcome to follow the blog

    best

    Theresa

  • Lucky Pierre

    Super! There's an oversize pcard already en route to you; a first attempt at acrylic transfer using drawings culled from my teenage sketchbooks.
  • Dorina Harangus

    İ send one piece for you last week but it came back to me in a very comical way. The postman brought it back saying "Miss Dorina you have a mail" . İ was so happy ,"Really ??" i said. And he gave my own post card adressed to you . İt didn't even go out from the island, because i wrote the expeditor under your adress  and he made a stupid confusion . :)) Sorry, my mail will come later .

  • Dorina Harangus

    That's a good idea , we can really try this and we should share also the photos with post officers faces :)))

  • Bruno Cassaglia

    No! Cara Amica! nessun spavento... non avevo capito... non sò la lingua inglese e adopero il il traduttore on line... tutto ok! :-) :-) ti abbraccio con affetto , bruno
