Linda French

Look what I found in my mail when we returned from a day trip yesterday!! Wow, What can I say but WOW! Yes, I do like surprises and thank you VERY much. Mim

Oh Linda, I really like the new look here on your profile. Bravo. And I received your mail today. Am smitten with the goodies, especially the painted papers. Love painted papers.  The "bad poetry" is great. Not epic in the technical sense, but epic in subject matter for sure. I find it inspiring. Thank you.

That video posted by Bruno...yellow is an interesting color choice.  Don't think I can say what it brings to mind. 

Received the great junk journal you sent. You're a sweet and generous mail buddy, thank you so much.  I'm going to have fun messing around with this soon.  The variety of papers are cool.  And the envelope...love it.  Why is it that seeing one's own name and initials on things never fails to bring a smile? ;-) 

I like all forms of art, Linda.  Will post something today, but it may take up to 10 days from Australia.

Wow! What a cool laminated postcard you sent me, Linda! Thanks so much. I can see lamination opening up all kinds of possibilities for postcards, for those who can do it. :-) Thank you, too, for the wonderful painted papers, ephemera, and T.O. initials. I love paper and the ones you sent are welcome indeed. Thanks again!

Hi Linda--the bicycle-based image does lend itself to imaginative interpretations--thanks for your comment. BTW: your imagery is wonderful, I'm glad that you decided to follow your creative instincts!

Linda--thanks for asking and i don't mind replying. You've posted a number of photos lately and your work caught my eye. Actually I've 'favorited' at least 2-- But specifically 'chipping sparrow' and 'revelatory captions' demonstrate your drawing skills. Drawing is a favorite technique of mine and I've been doing more lately-it is my first love. Your use of watercolor in several of your animal sketches is well done--again a favorite media of mine. But you don't see it too much in my mail art. So I guess you could say that I sensed a kindred art spirit.

I've been getting back to basics in my drawing. You can see my efforts, some more successful than others (especially the 12/20/24 sketch) at http://carmelasketch.blogspot.com

I recently received a lot of really cool ATCs from Linda, along with an ATC-size "magazine" and some other goodies. Take a look at them:

Thank you for the Anxious Ninja, Linda. I'm thinking down the road these may be marketable. Given the availability of cheese rinds, of course.

Thank you Linda!

BTW...love your background photo *!*

Hi Linda - Did you received the Insp. Quote Add & Pass yet?

Linda, I really thought I had replied to your very nice comment to me, but I couldn't find a reply from me anywhere, so I think I didn't and I'm sorry for not replying right away. I think ning can be a little complex sometimes with so many places to post and read messages. Anyway, Thank you so much for commenting to me about my stamps and collages. I know I was looking at your posted art and then I may have been distracted from completing that viewing and making my reply. There is a lot of your art I like as well, and I would love for us to make postcards for each other based on circles, since we are both in the circles group. I love circles! and I love triangles but didn't see a group for that. 

Linda, would you like to participate in a mail art call and a public exhibition in Brazil?

Your answer is a participation.  Thank you!

the ATCs you sent me had some sort of square raised patterns on them. i love the texture and i'm not sure how you did it - with a stencil i guess? i love the way they look. i'll write your name in on number one and once i've added my bit i'll send them on their way. :)

Hi Linda, Did you get receive a little package from me lately? I sent you something a couple weeks ago.

thanks for the info linda! weird about not being able to access the site. just glad you were able to in the end. :)

Good, is that the first pic or second pic? Lol

glad you dug the daikon cards. one of those thrift store finds and i only a few cards left from the deck. hopefully you can put the ones i sent to good use. :)

oh yah. mailed it onwards to someone about a month ago. to the UK, i think.

A gem of an ATC wrapped in a colorful package from Linda. See it HERE

Thanks for the great ATCs. I mailed you a collage the same day I received yours. I really liked the use of the old stamps. Do you get those on ebay?

Hi Linda.  Sorry it has taken me so long to let you know I got your art cards but get them I did and I love them!  Thank you thank you thank you.  Here's to more mail art exchanges in through the postal service in the future. Peace!  Oh,  I posted your art cards on my page and tagged you in them.  

Dear Linda, here an invitation for you, thanks in advance!!!!

Thank you so much for the goodies! Would love to send you something back.

Hi Linda.

No preference on ATCs for me.  I like just about everything, but I guess especially humor.  I'll send something out today.......will try anyway.

Grazie Cara Amica!!!  W IUOMA  E LA PACE FRA I POPOLI!!!! 

Blogged your recent piece here:

Thank you! It was wonderful! I loved it!

23.05.16 Dare Ms. Linda French, ...what a delightfully ironic  & funny black & white cat image  you selected for the"Black & White"group   & yes, it is also true that my efforts are often scornfully referred to as "duck art". Sincelery, Richard Canard

Linda you always send the best! I just Adore the card you sent with the return of the recent Fleur-Grace-Linda trio jam! Thank you :-D

Beautiful discrete piece of poetry!  Thanks, Linda

mail out!

Hi Linda! Thank you so much for thinking of me, can't wait to find the packet. I have a new address now as of last week- it is 7150 Montview Blvd, Gaebe Hall, Denver, CO 80220. Looking forward to sending more mail now that I'm in Denver :)

Linda, are you still involved in Mail Art? I'll send you something if so.....

Following-up on Toni's '?' . . . still involved in mailart? I've not been good at keeping up with everybody and my mailings have been sporadic . . . so please excuse my cluelessness for having to ask.
