Nice that we are friends!

Thank you, Neil, I'm very glad you like Vagabond, and also appreciate your descriptions. They are always insightful as well as imaginatively put!

Hi Neil

yves maraux commented on Diane Keys's group IUOMA MOBA (Museum of Bad Art)

please ! ( en français : c'est dur de creuser dans le sec !)

or may i beg you ....( a record of all this retention phenomenons in the fluent world , that's economic wreckage , sabotage ! "i arrest you ! )  ( the crisis ! ) ( bad virus !)

"so you gone tell me the title

made easy i'm so bad teacher how they can

Take your time with it Neil, but please by January- One of the aims is to delve into the concept of what the targets represent to you.... I hope to make a difference with these- I still have quite a few of these left so I may be turning this into a successional series. I am beginning to look into possibilities for shows- first probably in Texas then hopefully the whole United States. HAve also been thinking about a kickstarter project in order to raise fundage for the campaign that will  take place in my green short bus!

I'd like to say it was my idea but it really was my hairdresser who is hosting the show...I was trying to describe what mail art is and I think the topic came up because she is interested in a colorful mail art show...I don't think I have seen a mail art call for mandalas although there are plenty of other art venues (blogs and such) that I have run into

Happy Early Birthday Neil!!!! for tomorrow I may forget :-)How many "spanks" will you be getting tomorrow?

Hola Amigo

Happy Birthday!!!!!! Feliz Cumpleanos !!!!!!!!   Best wishes!!!!!!   Mis mejores deseos !!!!!!

Happy Birthday greeting from Greece, Neil!

Some birthday cake and a cup of tea?

Happy Day...Oh Happy Day,, Neil!

Another Birthday! hmmmmm....sing along *!*

Free tickets for all! And there are always endless tracks out there!

Thank's Neil!

Niklas

Great man!!! Yeah, Austin's way groovy. Cheers!!

Glad the ships came sailing in, Neil! Lots of "tea things" always for you.

You have a happy holiday season, too.xxx

Glad you enjoyed my Fish Tail/tale card. I too the same boring card and altered it 3 different ways. It was fun.

Thanks for letting me know Neil, & for noting the back (actually, I preferred it to the front - lol!). 'Tad o' irony intended, but the Holiday wishes were sincere nonetheless! Best, Claire

Potpo??? California is a cannabis State

Awesome man, I am glad you liked it!

Neil--so sorry I didn't acknowlege this but yes I got your wonderful trashlage!!  I mentally thanked you but forgot to follow through on the physical plane. I am going to blog it when my daughter lets me back on the computer. they are off for the rest of the week. have a fair today with New Year's predictions. we've crossed the bridge and have earned the right to an unending supply of good trash   all the best

I'm just now seeing this-I hate when your miss messages but thank you! something winging its' way to you XO DK

Hey Neil, received your ma today - love it! Thanks cher! ^_^

Nothing has arrived yet, Neil.

I hope it doesn't get lost...mail difficulties lately,

might be the holiday mailings!

Hey Neil! I made the postcard with stencils, acrylic paints, collage (including tissue paper), pen, an eraser cap (used as a stamp), and an ink pad. I'm glad you like it!

Hey Neil, I'm glad you got my piece, I was hoping to make something appropriate for the Chaplain of DKult.

Hi Neil...glad you liked the bookmark....I do alot of fiber arts...quilt, knit, crochet, embroidery etc....

POSTAL ART INTERNATIONAL CALL

You are most welcome, Neil. Yah, from Old Orchard Beach. Amazing that the message survived about 11 years in the ocean, when the bottle was broken! That's what happens for certain spirits.

Apparently, we both assumed the friendship and the IUOMA engine didn't register our preference via our heightened level of communication! I suppose it's a good thing the computer still can't read minds yet!

Yes, Neil, I do believe that is a very good thing! HAL is not a welcome addition to my life, that's for sure!

Ha ha ha! Thanks for letting me know. Be well my friend!

Ah, there's more! Yes, those are two of my 6 bookshelves - I'm an avid (eclectic!) reader. Thanks for the compliment cher %_^

BTW, I grew up in Princeton (the Uni. town) - there was a beautiful, classically columned bldg. called Clio Hall where I often went to see films when I was a teenager. The most vivid memory I have is of seeing A Clockwork Orange there...that was a trip indeed!

Neil, thank you for your terrific trashpo + asemic trashpo items plus poster! True trashpo spirit--I love it all--many thanks.

So glad to know that Joe's Holy Disk arrived safely. Thrilled that it has found such a loving home with you, Neil! Have a superlative week! :)

Hi Neil...yes, you were lucky to get a hand-me-down fortune :-)

Glad you liked the mail art...

Amy *!*

So much to see and discover on your MailArt. Thank you very much! Suus

Tashi delek, Neil-oh. Just saying hi, hoping life is good at this moment! Soon I will send you something, and it will be trashola, count on it. No need to rush back, take it easy.

I had a great message from you, Neil, thank you, and you will hear more from me soon. Til then: what does "wabi-sabi" mean? It's written in my notebook as something you said but I included no meaning! Duh. 

No, no Mod Podge [I had to look that up and did recognize the label from my various forays into different art stores]. 

no sir, that is a blended acrylic varnish --- different varnish types to get something not glossy but not too satiny. Years of playing with the plastic goo [because I never cared for oils] has left me with a few recipes under my hat and a love for glazing layers of washes and varnishes. tmi?

See you in the mail!

happy the book cover wasn't too shocking.  Back from the USA now, very jet lagged.

yes!

Just Wait, Neil! Surprise on July 10th!

'Glad it arrived ahead of TIME...tea...and...
