But you are putting the hole punch to great use, Dean. Thank you for sending mailart to me : > )

Thank you Dean. Now I know how to cope should I ever end up in a posh restuarant : > )

Dean, received The Bridge yesterday! But only the half of it :)   Will post photos later.

Dean, LOVED my banana maze. I'm not sure if I will get more banana mail, but I'll give it a few more days and then do a banana blog at the postalledger.  It has been fun to think around something so everyday as the banana.  Thanks!

Thank you, Dean!  http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/a-bridge-too-far-episo...

Parking ticket???  I just went thru all the mail I have received since joining IUOMA, there was nothing from you.  BF

I'm sorry I didn't receive it. . . a very cool looking piece of mail  BF

Dean, thank you for the most wonderful painting! http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/painted-by-mouth-dean-...

Happy Friday!

Dean, got your book cover! Nelson is such a sweet Mail Art addict :)))

Dean, Great to get your cover story (memory).  Here is my translation: http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/dean-is-making-new-sto...

Thanks for the blog post!  And for the friendship request! (I had no idea we hadn't clicked that button yet!!)  Plz--don't ever feel pressure about mail art EVER.  Art takes its own time.  Beside which if you've been working on that thing all this time I'll be shaking at its epic-ness when it comes to Seattle.  Cheers!  The cherry blossoms are out here.

Love all the stuff you sent.   The originals are hanging at the Forest so will wait until I have them in my hands to reply and blog more fully. In the meantime you can see them here:

Dean, from you overdue postage is no big deal.  the title of the blog post had nothing to do with that.  I was pleased at getting so much from you for the exhibit it felt like they were multiplying! Thanks again!

Dean, did you watercolor as well as glue on this latest mail art that arrived yesterday? In any case it is peaceful and beautiful, and I love it. Thank you. 

Dean, think I missed sending the bananas for your bread.

So I looked in my mail box, and saw something that looked "Dean like." When I saw the stamps I thought to myself, "these are American, this couldn't be from Dean." And then it hit me, "Dean is in America!" So that's you know, Dean Marks the honorary mail-art American. Enjoy your trip.

Dean, thanks for the book-postcard; I'm at a loss for words [if only I had a dictionary, hey  . . .]. Made in the air and mailed from here in California none-the-less [postmarked; Oakland, CA]. This one was almost a lost-in-the-mail mail-art piece, the address label was literally placed on top of the card when I opened my mail box, and fell off as I pulled it forward out of the box. Whew, that was a close one.

Hope you're enjoying your trip.

Hi Dean:

Got a very BIG postcard in the mail today from you and LOVED IT!!! Thank you for sending; my favorite thing in the world is opening the mailbox and finding these very cool things from all over the world in there!  Will return the favor soon.

Bonjour Dean,

Merci beaucoup pour votre mail art que j'ai bien reçu!!

Désolée pour le temps de réponse car je vis desormais au Bénin en Afrique et mes parents m'envoient des photos des MA que je reçois!

Merci Merci!

Bonne journée,

Jeanne

Dean, got your Brilliant book collage! Perfect medium of mail art for a nutty bibliophile like me! When do you get home so i can send you something back???

All the best!

Neil

Thank you Dean! : > )

Send the 1943 edition of Gone with the Wind here please :-)

Welcome back to Europe...waiting to hear all 'bout the Wild West!

xxx Thanks for the ice cream and SanFran!

Hey Dean, I recently received some great MA which I thought was from you as there's a "Dean" sticker on it; nonetheless, the stamps are US and you're in France, oui? Is this from you? If so, I love it - thanks!

Otherwise, hope you're well and creative...

Hi Book Worm Dean,  I remember when I first started making altered books, how scandalous and 'wrong' it felt to tear apart, destroy, reinvent books. But I think giving them new life is a great thing to do rather than them end up at a library sale for retired books for a quarter. Thanks for the Wilde mail!!!!

Wow!! Where did you get all the book covers?It's definately a departure from what you usually send out, so they must be in shock. Will send something off to you soon. have a good weekend!!!

Hi Just-Dean,

This is a great card...thanks muchly:

blogged:

Two from France...Two from Germany!

Bonjour Dean,

Après mon guide sur les bananes, j'ai voulu répondre à votre second mail art le temps de mon séjour en France (chez mes parents! lol) mais je n'ai pas retrouvé votre adresse pour vous l'envoyer... :(

Mon mail art (sur le thème des bananes et des tatouages) est prêt mais je repars bientot!

Bon weekend!

JM
