I have been a mail artist for more than 20 years. I make mail art using rubber stamps, mostly zines. My latest zine is Missives from Absurdia. it is a collections of toons and tomfoolery. If you love the original RSM when it was all about the madness, and if you do too. then let's exchange art.
PS: My IUOMA avatar is a life mask of me as Gaia, Earth Goddess. I used seed pods, snakeskin, feathers, bone animals and semi-precious stones, as well as other decorative items.
Melissa, this is a friendly welcome to The Eternal Network from a celestial mail artist born and raised in a heavenly corner of the faraway universe called Republik van Patland. A perfect start here is mail-art exchange. I would love to be the other end when you decide it’s the right time for you to start trading art. If that’s the case at the time, your envelope should read as follows:
The Celestial Scribe Caixa Postal 24827 Curitiba-PR 80510-970 Brazil
II look forward to see your piece in my terrene mailbox. Yes! I will do my homework after receiving yours. This is nothing less than a celestial promise. I’m Patricio, Celestial Scribe & Envelope Provider.
Hey Melissa! I didn't know you were here! What a surprise!! Thanks for the friend add! Glad you already got my mail! Now that you're at IUOMA I'll get a chance to see some more of your amazing stamps!! Check out my group Show us your Artspace,it's got a rubber stamp storage page, I'd love to see your rubber stamp storage!!!! Oh, and welcome!! ;-)
Good idea! I only have a couple of spares at the mo. One is an eye with an arrow through it. I think it was from Silver Crow. I've bought some of their Grab Bags on etsy. Is that how you buy?
Melissa, I just returned from an out-of-earth experience. The terrene mail box was full of bright ideas, envelopes, creativity and post cards. Your card was seated there since dec 25. The Jackson-Curitiba gap is being bridged handsomely, thank you! It´s time for me to keep the celestial promise made to you last year. I´ll keep you posted.
Earthling or not, please be aware that this morning a hummingbird on celestial mail service left City of Peace, the capital city of Republik van Patland, a tiny point in the universe where this scribe comes from. The Postbird faced Planet Earth in a celestial mission. The objective is to deliver a heaven certified mail artwork kindly produced just for you by one of our celestial mail art masters.
Keep the sky of Jackson under close observation. Celestial messengers – all of them – tend to show up when nobody expects them. The opportunity is propitious for you to see, first time ever, a Postbird on heavenly service if you wish to. Have luck! Keep me posted. Scribe
Hi Melissa! Received your song lyric illustration. I love Sarah McLachlan. Very cool..will blog soon. AND the envelope is funny...nice to hear from you *!*
Hi Melissa--The envelope decorated with the 'Ladies of Inspiration and Creativity' arrived last week and I finally figured out who it was from. It was worth waiting for! Loved the quote from Man Ray. The pop-up enclosure was a delightful gift. The stamps made from 100proofpress are quite a find! I'll be documenting it soon on Mypage IUOMA and at http://decordisart.blogspot.com/
PS: I'm glad your life is returning to normal--creating art is very healing. Thanks for remembering me.
Happy Holidays, Melissa--I picked up your card yesterday. What a unique approach to the season--Monster Match--a real conversation piece! Thanks so much.
Love the Xmas card I just received...you are great!
"Every time a bell rings an Angel gets her ' hot wings'."
Haha...hugs and hope you are feeling better!

My artwork to do list is celestially long. A bit of it is on it´s way to Jackson, TN today. Believe it or not, it answers an artwork of yours posted 10/09/13.

Gee, I don't even know what sort...um, funny ones, weird, offbeat, definitely nothing cutesy!
Just noticed a possible typo on your profile, is it meant to be starry? Although Stary eyed also makes sense!
