Not before time!! Well done! Lotsa xxxx

Welcome to IUOMA!

Earthling, this is the last but certainly not the least welcome message to IUOMA you receive. I’m a celestial mail artist living in a heavenly corner of the faraway universe called Republik van Patland. When you joined IUOMA on 24 October I was unable to welcome you on board.  At the time I was in a Celestial Journey far beyond the Milky Way. Now, back to planet Earth, I´d love to be the other end when you decide it’s the right time to start trading snail mail art. If this is the case at the time your envelope should read as follows:

The Celestial Scribe

Terrene Embassy

Republik van Patland

Caixa Postal 24827

Curitiba-PR

80510-970

Brazil

I look forward to see a piece of yours in our terrene mailbox. I will do my homework after receiving yours. This is nothing less than a Celestial Promise. I’m Patricio, Celestial Scribe & Republik van Patland Official Envelope Provider.

Liked your piece on Instagram for 'Celestial Being'!

Hi Judith,

I have a piece ready to send you. Could you message me your postal address, so I can pop it in the post.

Emily.

"I have made one piece and hope to make another x..."  

If you join Mail Art 365, you will be doing 1 piece every day...............................................................for 365 days!!!!!!!!!!!

:-))))))))))

Thanks for your address. I'll send your piece today. My address is on my profile and I will write it on the postcard too.

Have a good weekend.

Emily.

To my suprise  your artwork arrived today.  Uahahahahahah!  That´s celestial efficiency of both, the british and the brazilian mail. My perception is that we were exchanging messages just yesterday.  Your sweetie dress has reduced handsomely and drastically  the huge Wirral-Curitiba gap.  The bridge looks bright.  Now it´s time for this scribe to keep a celestial promise made to yoy few days ago.  I´ll keep you posted. 

Thanks for posting a picture of my mail art. Another piece is on its way!

I sent the blue piece at the weekend and then a couple of days ago I received a piece from you so I sent another one back. Hopefully you'll get it tomorrow or the day after (I never know how long things take 2nd class).

Hi Judith, great.  will send out to you tomorrow.  My address is

5771 Calgary Street

Timnath, Colorado

80547

I also do textile art - and often get inspiration from the embroiders guild mag. I think your 9makers group is fantastic. Nothing beats the inspiration and motivation that comes from that sort of group. But setting a successful one up is not easy!

I would love to exchange mail art with you - please send me your address if you would like this.

Thanks for the mail art. I put something in the post for you this afternoon.

Hi Judith,  Thank you for the beautiful leaves you sent.  Sadly all of ours have fallen here but I will enjoy these all winter!!

A celestial envelope is on it´s way to Wirral.
