Diane--Thank you for your medieval mail art, really like the sewn collage technique that you used. It has been added to my IUOMA photo stream and will be blogged soon at

http://decordisart.blogspot.com/

Mail art will be coming your way within the next 4-6 weeks.

Thanks for the fake Eduardo Cardoso!

Thanks Diane, "Hard to see underwater" arrived today ...while the rain should finally get here this week! California in severe drought alert will be happy by a little blindness ;-)

BG has made cover art for you. Forget "Monkey Experiment."

Growing Up Catholic. Too funny. I, for one, did not "grow-up Catholic" nor any other system of guilt ridden system ;]

However, for several years I was an acolyte in a protestant church. I think I just liked being so because I got to control the lighting of the candles, you know, walking through the church with a wick of live fire. Quite a responsibility to an adolescent mind.

However, I did grow-up with many Catholics who went to Catholic School and got to see first hand the mind bending influence of "The Church."

Thank you for the card. I'm still waiting to hear things Nuns say [that I didn't already hear on a Cheech & Chong album].

Yes, my wife "grew-up Catholic" but is not currently a practicing Catholic. However, I've never heard her say she s a recovering Catholic.

We had a few Catholic schools where I grew up and some of my friends attended them. Two girls in particular, attended the girls only Catholic School down the street. I always assumed that they were missing out on public school because that's where most all the other kids in the neighborhood went. (From a child's viewpoint) why would you want to go to a Catholic School everyday? Wasn't Sunday school enough? My Jewish friends went to Hebrew class on the weekends, my Buddhist friends went to Temple Class on the weekends . . . my Mormon friends, well, I had no idea what they did.

What made those Catholics be so persistent on having their own full-time school. It was a mystery to me.

THANKS Diane for your amazing artwork!

Got a Bad Burlesque prize book today from our esteemed judge Vizma!!!!  Looks like I won third place for my sparkly g-string.  So who won first place, and did we need to pay to win first place? The prize is great--risque and very burlesque.

Diane thanks for the the original MA you sent. I like it very much and what a nice surprise from you!!!!! The weather here has warmed up. Still a little chillyhere but the snow has melted. That in itself is a joy considering the amount that was on the ground. Will work on something for you soon.

Take care

Diane, the google thang arrived. Interesting concept...I like it but it made me nervous. "What if my year in the joint turns up? Those restraining orders...the plaid speedo pics..." I'm going to write a song for Jon Foster's Sonic Mail Art Call..."Don't Google Me." Blog ETA: 2030....

 I've been trying to tell google who I am but I am fudging the details. I remove all my bad qualities. My online persona is sort of an idealized version of who I am. I leave out the icky parts. I put in the doubts but leave out the cowardice. I put in the self-hatred and leave out the fear. It's sort of like I'm a character in a 50s sitcom. Ozzie Nelson with some warts for realism but not that many and heavily airbrushed. It's an odd dance.

Spring Screen Capture....

Well, here are pics of what I got from you. I hope this works. If you sent RR pics or something like that, they haven't arrived yet.

I will keep my eyes out every day.

I don't know if it was your mm or somewhere else along the line.  I'll get this and add something so it will all fit back together again.

What size should it be?

Aren't you restless now that the OPT is adjourned until 5/5...I don't know what to do with my afternoons! (HaHa)

Your mail is still MIA but my receipt of mail is erratic so I am not worried!

couldn't agree more about the whiny voice!

I never fully understood the tragedy of postal workers dumping mail until I became a mail artist. Now I think its catastrophic! ...but still unlikely. You have a great weekend too - we have a public holiday on Monday - so its a nice long one for me!

Hehe - its Workers' day. I love the irony of a holiday to celebrate workers day! lets make it postal workers day!

Diane, I got your great collage yesterday. I was curious about the technique ... did you wet the paper?

Awesome, Diane! I like this very much.

You bet; I'll send you mine; you send me yours.

Hey there kid, just got your mail. I'm assuming I add a few things and then move it on? Just make sure I understand.

Oh ok, I guess I was confused because there was a lot of things in the envelope so I wasn't sure. I'll make something of it and send it back to you.

Thanks for the card - beautiful blue

Now for something completely different. Great job on the continuance of the piece . . . at least I'm pretty sure that's more than what I sent off to you . . . Onward . . .

Diane, thank you for the great envelope full of beautiful painted papers....and, your daughters note is just too precious...I loved the story behind it at the "Tang" Stand.

ohhhh! I am so glad you enjoy my pictorial sillinesses but do not be miserable for not responding/posting stuff quickly. I have still your last super painted papers to make something of; I am always behind; it is a Mail Art Endemic Reality Issue (MAERI), I have given up apologizing. Soon now I will attack the font, I need luck there. May be ready for Xmas.

Now seriously I share your worries about DVS, let's hope he has not been abducted by aliens and that he resurfaces soon, pockets full of trash to trashpogrify. Please if somebody has any news post them quickly!

( i do not know why I am here shouldn't I be in the Trashpo group?)

Your Welcome! Thanks for accepting the add! I sent you a mail art today afternoon!

Fashion! Great pics. 

wow do I ever love the beautiful trashbook you sent ME!
