Fast mailing, Ruud! Thank you so much1
Now I finally have a membership card. That's great!
And, of course, I am sending you some rubber stamp images,
in the mail tomorrow morning. You asked for an address stamp, unfortunately I have only one...in GREEK! But now I know what I have to work on: rubberstamp designs in ENGLISH!
Thanks for your mailing, it doesn't matter how long it takes,
I understand how busy you are with all the mail art matters.
Tis a great surprise, though, to have something from you in
my mailbox!
Many thanks,
Katerina
Ruud, thanks for including my ugly mail art call on the blog site. Unfortunately the zip is incorrect. Could you change it to 87105? I did change it on the MA projects page. Thanks, Alison
Hello ruud,
I am having strange problems with IUOMA this evening.
The last comments by others were send "to your profile"
and not "to your page"! Maybe I hit something and comments
are overloading my "profile"? how could that be?
Also, I can not upload photos easily.
It keeps telling me that there is an "error on the page".
Well, I will go off line for a while...maybe it is my internet server?
Thanks for all of the "stuff" I have one of yours from 2003 but most of my mailart goes to 1994 and I love every crazy, wonderful piece of it. Will come up with something to send in a plain envelope.
Hallo Ruud,
eigentlich wollte ich auf Deinen Kommentar in meinem Blog reagieren, kann dort aber gerade wegen technischer Probleme keinen Kommentar veröffentlichen, deshalb nun auf diesem Weg.
Auch für mich wären die Niederlande der WM-Final-Wunschgegner, allerdings müssen wir vorher Uruguay und Spanien nach Hause schicken. Viel Glück dafür – wünscht Wolfgang.
Wanted to let you know I received your Fluxus Word envelope--thanks! (and of course I know what that word means!). I'll post a blog on the main page soon. cheers.

Hello Ruud, I've just invited an artist friend of mine to join the Union. I hope that she'll follow through. Her name is Katie Shaw. I'm mentioning this to give you a heads up. Meanwhile, all new members have been welcomed. Whew and Yay.
Ruud, my friend Ruth Dellinger (an IUOMA member) sent me this email--she's concerned this guy is a scammer and it looks that way to me, too.
Do you get these things too? I have not replied because I fear it is the next scam....

Hello Ruud, yesterday I uploaded the same graphic to two different groups: Mail Art concerning Ukraine and to Embassy of Ukraine. It worked fine in the first group but it got 'solarized' in the second. Further down you will see my homage to Gorbachev solarized also. I cannot imagine why this happens, do you?
I will try here again.
It did it here also! Help, please! just occurred to me that you may see it differently, withthe right colours.
