    I'm so excited.I've installed suares of cork on my wall and am displaying as many of my cards as possible. I have a square devoted to many of my MA friends ( YOU) of course. I'll try to get a picture that I can post. Thanks so much for the support. 

  • laurence gillot

    I posted a mail art for you this morning !

  • Nadine Wendell-Mojica

    No, no no. Maybe, when I'm looser and more uninhibited.

    I've tried to devote space for particular artists. Your ' gallery room' is right in front. Can't wait to photo or film it. Now when I'm blue all I have to do is look at my beautiful art and know there are wonderful, generous artists.Instant lift.

  • Emmy Verschoor

    Thank you so much, Karin, for your beautiful mail art card and the gorgeous envelope!

    I am very happy with this amazing piece and will try to blog it later this week.

    Gosh- love the new look and size. Your ink find was fun. Is it hard to locate a particular type of ink or in general? Thanks so much!

  • Guido Vermeulen

    Hi Karin,

    Well no, I di not forget you and mailed ages ago a painted envelope. Did not get a reply and thought, okay, my mail is lost in the mail (this happens, 10 percent of the mail gets lost).

    You were on my list of people to mail a large painting, so I did this to renew connection.

  • Sandra Lefever

    Hi Karin. I've just posted your mail and already sent you something in return. :)

  • Guido Vermeulen

    Hi Karin, this is a poem that I wrote around your SHADOWS OF RED AND BLACK, received today. Thanks!

    Shadows of red and black

    are gambling with the light

    like little children they beg

    for some small candy dropping

    from the sun in the lap of time.

    How to grow up when you are a shadow?

    Is a question they ask not.

    They prefer to play with feathers dark,

    imagine they can fly as larks

    far away from mum and dad

    to live with white horses wild,

    some lizards and iguanas 2

    but their shadows tie them to the ground.

    Poem around art by Karin Greenwood

  • giuli.fiori

    Hi, Sorry for the late answer! Love your card, thanks a lot!

  • Mary J. Grellner

    Hi Karin:

    Just received your mail yesterday, and LOVED the black and white print on the envelope, and your drawing.  My husband is also retired, so we have something besides Mail Art in common; I will be sending you another note soon and hope you will respond.

    HAVE A GREAT DAY!

  • Susan McAllister

    Karin, I love the postcard - your beautiful style in my favorite colors. Thanks a bunch.
  • Sandra Lefever

    Hey Karin! How are you? I love the postcard you sent recently. I've posted it to my blog here. I hope I'll be able to return it with something > or = to your little painting...

  • Guido Vermeulen

    Hi Karin, as requested!

    THE SUN GOD

    Poem around art from Karin Greenwood

    I am a legend in the sky

    he said to the snails

    surfing on the clouds

    Without me waves would not

    court the sea

    Without me waves would not

    reach for heaven

    Watch me set

    is a better cure

    against depression

    than taking your precious

    sponsored medicines

    Watch me rise

    so oranges can grow

    instead of perishing

    in the moonlight

    Watch me shine with care

    so you can find

    a person lost downtown

    like Vicky Vandermeers

    My secret is this:

    I am pistachio nuts

    because of the lack

    of greens

    If I am patriarch or matriarch

    has no importance

    I am god and when I die and die I will

    I shall shout the rooftop from the sky

    & you will join me in my cries.

  • Guido Vermeulen

    Thanks Karin,

    It goes in 2 directions for me: a work of art can inspire me to a poem, a poem can inspire me to a work of art. I call this «translations» because in a certain way they are translations but never in the literal sense, always metaphorical. The whole LAMUSAR project was and is intended to promote these kind of cross exchanges.

  • Guido Vermeulen

    Hi Karin, I glued your art piece already in an artist notebook I keep for writing texts, poems, reflections, diary and dreams. So your request becomes difficult but I made a scan of notebook page next to printed poem and a photo. Both are beyond.

    Hi Karin,

    Brussels under a tropical heat wave, drinking 2 much cold beers and worrying about my cats who are outside now ALL the time. Cats can have sun strokes 2, dear sun god.

    I worry less about cat 1 who after all was a stray cat, he knows what to do but cat 2 not!

    When it rains for instance cat 1 is hardly wet when he returns, cat 2 is soked!

    Small but important differences. Okay all differences are important. Saw images yesterday of South African police forces shooting and killing striking miners. Yaks!

    A heat wave suddenly seems minor stuff.

    Trying to make postcard collages now, a bit more difficult because of reduced space but I manage. Here are 2:

    My parents were new born christians and thought that music was invented by the devil while I believed that the devil had invented my parents ...

    Mailing this to Lesley in response to her music collage.

    2 is even more funnier: The 6th sense

  • Mary J. Grellner
