Dear Whimsy and color.Com - thank you for the TWO cards which arrived - relatively in tact - its grey here, and raining (unseasonal), so your Mountain Summer 2 - FAB!!! AND White Mountain 1 :-) - you saw my street??? Weird that - I went and looked too - didnt even know that was there - AND that you can 'walk' around it - Spooky :-))) - no mountains in sight here, just undulating hills that at the moment are watery :-) X
Thanks Theo for a great envelope -- AND I got a 'bonus' FUBAR owl too, lucky me!
I'll definitely include the envelope -- a First (and only?) day of issue, no less -- in the first exhibition, "Sige(a)nVeloppe" that will be held in Sigean (!) in May, 2012. It won't be in the 2nd Exhibition, "L'été à Sigean/Summer in Sigean" in August because all the envelopes exhibited there have to be in a standard format -- but more about that later when/if I put our a call for contributions.
In the meantime, my regards to you, the citizens of your Republic (are you the President?), and, of course, FUBAR.
Bonsoir! I hope y'all had a good Xmas; the postperson delivered me your Winter streams/Solstice card/poem today, and very nice it is too...although looking at all that snow just makes me shiver.
When I recover from Xmas celebrations, and the resultant excess of booze, I'll mail you something back in the next few days.
Goede Morgen, Mijnheer Nelson. I'm glad you like my site and the stamp art stuff. I seem to have millions of stamps, some quite valuable ones in different rather specialised collections, but the bulk jof them is ust sitting around in boxes and envelopes and packets and tins and jars and..;well, sometimes I decide to put them to good use. I'm especially drawn to Silly Stamp nonsense these days. The thematic composition and then design of stamps has alwyas fascinated me, but these dyas it's all a bit of a dying art as everything has gone so very digital. perhaps this is why I'm now attempting lino cutting. 250 years later I might get into engraving.
Tot ziens, Val -- in Dutch mode today, aka Hertz van Rental
Bonjour Theo! What good timing, Monsieur...your Spring card arrived just as we moved our clocks (here inEurope -- in Canada too?) forward an hour, to acknowledge that Spring had arrived and that Summer will not be far behind. The poem -- and card -- bought a smile to my face and, indeed a skip to my step.
Bonjour Theo! Thanks for the envelope -- very fancy rainbow plus Italic name, plus block printt-type address -- and the colourful Peking card inside. the cloud and rain imagery, over the green grass is very powerful.
I'll be mailing you back soon; Hope you are both well.
Bonjour Theo! Many thanks for your Summer Storm crad & poem: very nice indeed. I have a terrace which has a beautiful view over the vineyards and the mountains. And what is 'The smell of Summer' like at the moment? Of flowers? Of cut grass? NO...it's of some foul smelling animal manure that's been put on the vines. We need rain to water it down and bed it in. Then we can have a 'Fierce INhalation'.
ok so I had a lil ole stroke and it was a long healing road lol but the wolf is back and u will all get something from me real soon..so keep smiling peoples lol a smile is way big medicine
Many thanks for the 'Linear Sky, Winter Prairie' card and poem. We don't have a prairie here, but a lake (we have the sea too).which, when the wind blows, takes on many blue colours...like your prarie.
I hope that you had a good Xmas, and wish you all the best for 2013. When the New Year finally arrives, I'll be mailing you a 'Goodies Envelope'.
Hi Theo, I receivedyour lastpostcard,my daughter(10)loved itand madea copydevelopedhorizontally,unknown to me,I hope it givespleasure to see! Bruno Capatti
Thank you Theo! I always enjoy your cards! I'm trying to get my act together to send out at least a little mail art soon. Here is some early spring happiness for you to enjoy up in the frozen north.

Thank you for the wonderful set of ATCs! My husband is a science writer specializing in geology and he loved the two hoodoo cards.
