“...take a photo of the street looking down the hill, you'll see no 1 better.”

Oh my word! Your house looks amazing! built 1645! WOW!The streets are awful narrow though! Not good for a claustrophobe. And the halcats on the card. A love of mine. I sailed halcats for a long time, then moved on to windsurfing. Now I'm teaching my kids to windsurf. fun. But the sport has died here. I live near a beautiful dam and when I was growing up the dam was FULL of halcats, hobicats and windsurfers (etc). Now - not so many and you cant get spare parts. an ad hoc solution to broken parts can always be made though... My dad named out halcat "Catharsis" . I love that name.Anyway - thanks for the 2 pieces of mail I received from you!

Oh yes - you tulip print is stunning - I am going to put it in a little frame.Will post a pic.Thanks!

OK. Why?

I am glad I asked!I will never forget it now.

Hey Val!

Finished the little healing quilt for you. Sending it and gourd pieces on Tuesday.

Hope all is well.

Best to you,

Rochleigh

Good morning Val, my french isn't so great, but now that we've opened each others mail I think we qualify as friends. Glad it arrived!

Got your most recent card, thanks. The French Fluxus team looks pretty cool.

VMH--those vinyl art pieces that have been gracing iuoma's pages are wonderful--a fun object for artistic exploration! 

So glad you liked my snail mail :) Happy Tuesday!

Oh also just got back and saw your great card on my doormat! Thank you very much, love it's comical vibes :) Molly Citron! 

mes amis de la jambe - we shall walk again! 

Did monsieur postie bring anything unusual today?....

Hey Val,

ThanQ! for the card from Sigean.

?????????????????????? :-( :-( :-(...poetamailartfluxus

Sometimes a doodle is just a doodle! The one I sent you doesn't represent anything. It can be anything you want it to be! :-)

Thank you for your Mail Art! Will blog it soon or so ;)

Your groetjes (greetings) from Maastricht arrived safe and sound, thank you very much, (water)Val!

We (Edmund and I) missed the two of you, too!

Your Sticks and Stones arrived! Thanks a lot, Valentine! Love them!

Thanks a lot, Val, again! Sticks and Stones are blogged!

HI Valentine,

The Coursera class included mail art as a type of art expression, not a "how to" course in making mail art, though I did just read a book on this topic and found it interesting.  I think it's great for an art history class taught by a prestigious university to talk about mail art. 

:-)

Thanks Val for birthday greeting!! I celebrate my birthday for a month. Going out with friends for dinner this evening. Glad all your shows have gone well! Take care my friend!!!

I think therefore I am,  I create mail art therefore alive.

Happy weekend to you too dear Val !

about comment Echos et variétés

do you mean fresco made of millions of stamps ?

Val, I am glad you recieved the card.  I'm looking forward to seeing your invitation to the past. What should I wear to the exibit- my acid washed jeans from the 80's?  Should I take the time machine or the station wagon (same thing)?  More mail soon.

Bom dia Valentine.

Qual o prazo para entrega dos trabalhos de Arte Vinyl, para 2015?

Obrigada e bom fim de semana.

Saudações,

Mizé

"Twinchies" just means "two inch art" 2x2 square. "Inchies" are 1x1 (one inch square) and are artist trading card miniatures. ☺ Not quite 35 mm slide but I see the similarity.

several hundred thousands as it is said ! & not one less which is oneless ! ( or onelyness eliott )

Val, Thanks for the great postcard.  I missed the show, but I got a souvenir.  More mail soon.

Thank you for your comment!

Send my sheep to Sigean... er... First I'll have to wait for the reply of the Sheep-mail-art-project organizer.

And furthermore: first you'll have to look forward to the punniked Foot in your mailbox!(no food neither a zweetvoet, but a real spoolknit foot :-)

I finally put it in the mailbox last Monday so it is on its way to you...

By the way, did you receive my envelope (with a newspaper article, no money) addressed to an addressless you in Sigean?

Thank you Val and you are welcome to post the Vinyl….thanks for the opportunity to share…..

No! ... :-)

Val, loved the cards and the fingerweaving (my guess anyhow).  Thanks for the kind words too.  I have a card I found at the coast that I am sending you.  Can't wait for you to see it. Lots of creativity going on here. 

The joy and tragedy of gravity: Basset Hounds Running

Did you really say 'baaaah'? Concerning the sheep, I'm waiting for Ivana's reply, so I might send it to Croatia as I planned. But I guess you need the wool to punnik, so I created this Alpaca for you. Hope you'll like it!

Not inspired by Paul Klee, Josef Albers and quilts this time, but - because you have something to do with Dutch - by our famous "De Stijl" painter Piet Mondriaan.

Although I've never seen Mondriaan using round objects (animals/alpaca's) in his "De Stijl  works. Before that period he did, and for his variety of styles I think him a great painter.

The magnificent, graceful...no, wait... oh, holy crap, a Basset Hound running is just hilarious.

é una vernissage di una mostra di mail art! un fraterno abbraccio , bruno

That's all I'm gonna say!

Oh, and one more thing, Happy YOU day!

Happy birthday greetings from Greece, Val! "XRONIA POLLA!"

OPA!

PARTY TIME!

Is it too early to open the bubbly?

Lighting the candles (may start a wildfire in Sigean?)
