Mim Golub Scalin

Hi Mim--Thank you for thinking of me. Your Inktense postcard 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 soon.

Hi Mim--received your comment. There is minimal scraping and the card is now up on my 'Galleria Refrigeratoria'. I use the Inktense pencils a lot for sketching and really like the effects. The colors can ask be layered/combined. I'm sure you will enjoy exploring the possibilities. FYI: the Postal system added a barcode in a fluorescent orange to the card--but it does not show up on the scanned image that I posted. It adds a subtle mark.

Mim, got your letter and the treats in the secret envelope.  Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions and point me in the right direction.  More to come via the post.

Thanks for the postcard!

Thank you for your unique, friendly welcome! I appreciate it.

Mim--I  recently learned to make leaf prints using an eco-dyeing process.  If you go to my blog and scroll down I have an image that demonstrates how the top and backside of the leaves (flowers, & other organic materials) print differently. You can view more examples in my Mail Art Sent 2014 Album.The prints are very unique and a reminder of our role as stewards of the planet. 

To learn more about this process go to:

Mim--The Eco-dying and Eco-printing techniques produce some beautiful images. I'd be remiss if I did not tell you about the innovator. The person who made it most well-know is India Flint of Australia. If you have the time to browse her web site and blog prepare to be amazed. She has a book about the techniques as well available through Blurb. She teaches workshops in US and Canada.

Thanks Mim!!! Very original!!!! Love

Hey, Mim! Glad to know it arrived! Was it damaged at all? No one else who has received these has posted or reported, so I have no clue as to their state upon arrival. We all know that it's a gamble, sending any mail art, but stuff with holes... I wasn't sure. LoL!

Your welcome Mim, as you know, it's my pleasure!

of course:), thank you!

Hi Mim,
I want to thank you for the lovely "Romance Promenade" post card featuring Benini (AKA Ben, Benjamin, Jammer, Large Banjamin, The Boy, and a few others I can't recall at the moment) lounging on his favorite rock in the garden. As I expect you already know, Benini died on memorial day. We miss him terribly. Your post card will hang in a place of honor in our home.

Thank you!

Oh yeah, we watch the El go by during dinner! :D

Great! Thank you very much for sending me that picture. :D

Hi MIM! Thanks for your comment--- I am glad you liked the letterpress card. I am learning to operate a letterpress & design on it too. I've enjoyed our correspondence too- and always feel happy when I receive you post cards. I am a little over extended on social media- so I do not check IUOMA as often as I should. I do see you on my FB feed pretty regularly though! that's fun too.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the recent mail! Creativity is a practice - how true!

Thank you, Mim!

I'm not sure I deserve any 'Congratulations' but it's very nice to have them.

Do your art / Don't stay apart

Glad the punched circles arrived, Mim!

Thanks to Heleen who sent me the punch...and

thanks to you for making the "Circles" group!

Thanks for the watercolor postcard Mim. Love it's simplicity and artistry.

Hello. I got your banana mail today. Thank you! 

I'm glad the surprise was a welcome one :)

Thanks, Mim. I look forward, though it seems a bit overwhelming at the moment to get involved. I appreciate your mentorship.

Hola amiga, si estoy interesado en intercambiar mail art, ahora estoy organizando una mail art call y te invito aparticipar.

Thanks MIM!  glad to be back!

Thank you. Gracias

MIM! got your incredible postcard today,"relaxing with eggplants! I will treasure it as a MIMClassic!!! thanks so much it made my day, see you in the mail my friend!

Hello. I just created a postcard for you. I will send to you soon!! 

You're welcome, Mim. Have a happy day.

Yes it is hard to remember if we do not see each other in person. I was away from mail art for a while till last year just send occasionally. I have had "friends" in IUOMA but forgot who I have been friends with. It is funny that if I would not connect on Facebook, I would not realize and did not send you mail so it was good to get in contact again! :) 

Thanks for the amazing post card!  A card is coming your way.

Hi Mim--something for "Bicycles" speeding your way tomorrow.

Hi Mim...Richard left this message on my page, but it was addressed to you. In the vertical position the bike drawing that I sent to you does read as a 'face of sorts'. 

From Richard Canard: "17.05.15 Dare MIM, ...Ms. Carmela Rizzuto turns the bicycle into some sort of graphic Picassoid personnage. I am in admiration of those who pedal bicycles as well as those who make art  at the mention of a word. All best for your exhibit.…"

Gracias a ti y mucho éxito en el proyecto.

That was special that the baggie boekie arrived just as we were chatting about it!

You get the "circles",Mim :-)

PERASTIKA Mim!

Get well soon...heal well and be strong in rehab with the new hip!!!

Take care, and we'll keep the "bike" mail art call going strong!
