Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I like communication, art, paper, painting and concepts. The ideal combination for doing Mail-Art. Worked with rubberstamps as a child and started sending out letters as soon as I could write. Discovered that it was called mail-art in 1980. Have been discovering ever since and in the last years also promoting this free cultural exchange.

    Rudd.  1.  I have seen few new explorations or mail art boundaries being pushed.  Can you point them out to me?  2.  I was surprised today to find out I wasn't already a member of IUOMA.  Swear I put myself in an IUOMA directory many years ago.  What happened? Cheers.  Allen

    the project is to make mailbox art involving a local community. we have formed a team called the Mark Making Manifesto, and we have invited staff from a local cat protection charity to draw pictures of cats.. with their eyes closed! This is both a fun and revealing exercise. You have to trust yourself, and draw without the obvious hand-eye co-ordination. The results so far , as tested by fellow students and friends, have been equally interesting and amusing. The final multiples that we send out will all incorporate the cat protection charity's logo and a brief description of their work, to promote their wonderful charity and raise awareness of their hard work. 

    - Nik.

    07.12.15 Dare Ruud J., ...This item in today's news:  ..."The United States Postal Service can now Email you photos of your mail"......but isn't this an option that the I.U.O.M.A .has been utilizing for years & years already?????...& or still yet,  another reason for not even bothering to check the mailbox for most Americans.

    Ruud thank you so very much for the wonderful package jammed full of great stickers, an Add & Pass, a piece made just for me!, a genuine IUOMA membership card, and much more. I truly feel I HAVE ARRIVED! I'll be having fun wth the A & P and sending it to the next victim, um, I mean, lucky recipient. Thanks so much!

  • Toni Hanner -- tonipoet

    Ruud, thanks so much for the great envelope -- the backwards 2016 just cracks me up every time I look at it. And I love "The basic choice" card, too. That's about it isn't it? And I always love Add & Pass stuff -- I can't wait to get at it. I'll send you a page of my rubber stamps soon, too. I'm starting to make my own, at last. Thank you for including me in your mail-art family!

    A question about how to get images into messages: do you have any knowledge on why there is a tool bar at the top of the message area at times and at other times none? When there is, I'm able to insert a photo. This is puzzling. Another member asked me about this, too. Puzzling, Mim

    Hey Ruud....I left a comment on the moderator page, I think....but I would like to change the "owner" of the Buddy Jam discussion group or add to it at least....I want other members to be able to change the participant list...

    Didn't see where I could do that myself....thank you

  • Carmela Rizzuto

    Ruud--did you send the e-mail to me and other members re: the potential closing of the iuoma site on the ning platform? Or was this a scam?  It did not sound like you. If not a scam, I am sure that the members would be able to pay/donate what you need. I'm willing to do my share.

    thanks for posting my message, Ning has proved a thief, however, seen so short time is impossible to change platform. I'm looking for alternatives ... if I can find what I want to inform you as well if you also want to change you ... Long live the Mail Art!

    Ciao

    Ruud,  that was a great idea to start a Richard C fan club collection in IUoMA - every time I pass through there, it is tremendous and refreshing pleasure......also works well at establishing a historical reference.                     p.s.                                                                                                                 I see below that Claudio Romeo is suggesting that this Ning platform might not last - if that is the case, will you be able somehow to archive the material from here that warrants archiving?  not.terryreid@hotmail.com

    Glad to know your U.S. election souvenir arrived safe and sound! ...It is DEFINITELY meant to be opened. There is still a piece inside the knit postcard sleeve to find and view. This was a piece in response to your question about U.S. Elections through the "U.S. Embassy" Group. Cheers and well wishes!
