  • Maurizio Follin

    Arrange a site like http://itsonlymailartnocommercial.blogspot.com/
    costs much time and effort, but the chance to many artists to meet and share their art.
    Also organize three exhibitions costs money, but the opportunity for many people to know the MAIL ART
    However Everyone is free to participate and think as he pleases
    Best wishes

    Anna,

    I am honoured and touched by your bar code contribution which you sent me.  It is a master piece and is still proudly displayed in our kitchen where I see it every day.  (Don't worry, sooner or later my wife will ask me to remove it.) I hope that you see bar codes in a new light as I have bananas.  Which reminds me, I have been working on two banana pieces for you, but it is taking me more time than I expected … I need to peel more bananas.  Thank you again.  Dean

    Hi Anna,

    I wanted to thank you for the copy of the Banana Rag and the other cool swag. I am enjoying reading it while having an afternoon coffee (my 2 favorite things: reading and drinking coffee.).

    Anyway, to answer your question about "Zombie Kat" (or Zombie Kitty Kawaii!); she is a character I created and there is both a blog and a group here on IUOMA, if you would like to check it out. She is traveling the world by the postal service.

    She also likes bananas.

    cheers. Louise

    Bonsoir Anna,

    Thanks so very much for the lovely sheet of stamps that you sent me AND the postcard for my Exhibition. I really appreciate that you habe participated in my mail art project. There probably won't be a proper catalogue (I can't( afford to make one, alas), but I will post photos of the cards that I receive when they go on display next month. Meanwhile, here's an invitation to the exhibition. And I'll be mailing you something back soon. Do you remember that we met at the Maastricht Kunst Tour in 2011? The 2013 version of it has been announced, and the theme is 'Humour'. I'll be there, and exhibiting somewhere or other. Hope you are well. Bestest, Val

  • Heleen de Vaan

    Dear Anna,

    I am extremely curious to knowing what you will do with colour test prints.

    Meanwhile I've enjoyed to explore every food package that came into my hands. And have sent you some, hope they'll arrive safely.
    And hope you don't mind that I've let other people know about your project, hope they'll send their colour test prints to you, too!

    Heleen

    Hi, Anna

    The artist Jean-Francois Aillet invites you to collect your sample of sand from a moraine, from next to a waterfall or beside a river, along the shore of a lake or a stream, in a desert or on the border of an ocean. One should not, however, send him sand from a construction site. You are asked to document your collection of the material with a photo, taken as you are pouring the sand into a container. For an example, kindly visit his home page at www.aillet.com . English : http://www.aillet.com/traductions/anglais.htm

    See you to take part in this international project.

    Hi Anna,

    I did make it to your "Passing the Flame" mail art exhibition in Victoria BC. The total exhibition, documenting your varied career, was very well done. Congratulations! Sadly, my entry was lost in the mail somewhere, but I wanted to let you know that I did send a postcard in May 2015. It was a Gelli-plate print with collage (see below).

    FYI: I was vacationing on Vancouver Island and so was able to visit the show on the day of my departure.
