Hi Mike, Thanks for the amazing piece rescued from your aunt's photo album find. And all the little corners! Nice American Flag ATC and handmade envelope, too. Something will be on its way to you soon.
Hi! Thanks for your postal stationery envelope! Yes I love these old pieces of mail - and I really like the image inside with the cats and guitar. sweet. With your typewriter, there should be a little metal lever you push to change the direction the ribbon moves. On my Smith Corona, a tiny metal bar - I don't know what else to call it - it to the far upper left of the keys. I can push it up or down (there is no marking indicating what it does) to switch the direction the ribbon flows. So when it reaches the end in one direction, it appears to run out of ink, and as soon as I switch that tiny lever, it starts moving the other way and clears. I hope this helps.
You should not have to manually flip your ribbon each time. Let me know. I like your carved Mike stamp. Very nice of Bonniediva. I am getting ready to head out on a trip so I will resume my IUOMA work in November. Cheers!
Hi Mike, thanks for your friendship! I would like to exchange mailart with you! Would be inspiring to find one of your art in my mailbox! I will send you something soon made with the sewing machine!
Mike thank you for the fabulous Mail Art. First, the envelope and postage stamps are amazing. I love the postage especially! And the super-shiny stickered and sewn piece inside! Really nicely done. Thank you for the nice letter and the vintage postcards! All in all a very ice bit of mail art!
Mike, your collage-postcard arrived today. Thank you! I'll try to post tomorrow, and if the weekend goes as planned, I'll send something early next week.
Mike if you want Richard C. to send you his immortal stuff, send him a poem, doesn't matter if it's good or bad. He loves that! And Richard, if you see this, here's a poem:
Mike! Rec'd some swell post cards from you in the last few months. They have brightened my winter. Leaving u a note here as I will not have time to send this timely info in the post
...there is a virtual Performance Art Festival this weekend at the salt lake city public library, check it out here and hope you can make it :)
Yeah, I do love reading esp 'hard' scifi and fantasy but having no respect for the physical part of books [the book itself] the only ones I'd avoid altering, damaging, etc. are the expensive ones. Otherwise they seem2me2B raw material as well as a medium of communication.
Hi Mike, I am not the best person to ask, because I have never exchanged Mail art with Ed Giecek and do not know if he is still living at the address. Just try!

Howdy Mr. Mike P. - May was super crazy for me, and I just read your comment from May 11! So glad the mail from this Minnesota gal got to IOWA!!!

Hi Mike,
Hope you are doing well. :)
Thank you for the nice printed black and blue card that arrived. Is that a Linocut? Or a stamped card? Love the design.
Sorry that I can't upload a photo of it but maybe you can do it. :)
I am still having problems with storage on my computer. :(
Yes, it is very HOT here ! In the High 90's but feels like 105! :(
Today is my Birthday so, I am catching up on a few things and tomorrow will celebrate! LOL
Keep well ,

Mike if you want Richard C. to send you his immortal stuff, send him a poem, doesn't matter if it's good or bad. He loves that! And Richard, if you see this, here's a poem:
Virginia Woolf is back in town
pockets full of rocks,
stickers in her socks.
Virginia Woolf is back in town
trying to catch Leonard
wearing her gown.
