Hello, I have not a deadline to altered book pages project but I can say 2 months from now is ok to give time to everyone to send back their pages. If pages are  back to me earlier I will take some photos from the collaborative art book . Thank you for your participation.

Hi Heleen - thank you for the Happy Year of the Rooster card - it's beautiful. blogged here in a tiny pop-up gallery. I love your new project with the staring girl and am pondering it right now :>)

...and the stripy envelope!

Ευχαριστώ!

• It's a Blob from Heleen

The Mystery of the ORANGE Creature!

(from the markers/stampers that you sent me)

maybe someone at Orange Lovers can tell us what it is?

Well, Heleen, my best to MomKat when best next you write.

Welcome to the migration Heleen!

Hi Heleen! Bedankt voor de superleuke snailmail! Het was echt heel leuk om zulke post te krijgen! Nu moet ik mijn enveloppen gaan pimpen :-) 

Glad both items made it to you. :)

I would like to swap some mail with you.  Can you accept me and also let me know.  I was at Women Congress back in Amsterdam a few years back.  thank you

Called World Womens Book Fair

This is Kevin our regular postman and honorary Mail Artist. He takes a keen interest in what he delivers. And yes I agree Clowns were frightening when I was  a kid and now I do not find them funny at all. Slapstick humour is not my thing. The idea was Jack's and I do anything for a laugh so I agreed. It was a great experience of mail art collaboration and I enjoyed it very much. 

Here is Kevin. I made a stamp 

Hey, the address is now officially fine. Unfortunately, at least one of the postal workers deliberately refused to place things addressed to Jimmy Connors (pictured); she was even able to make the connection between the P.O. Box number and the name (almost at least) when asked. Well, according to the contract she had every right to act that way as Jimmy Connors was no offical user of the P.O. Box. Why some of the letters that were addressed to Jimmy Connors c/o F. Schneider were also returned and others have been delivered even when addressed to some other completely different names I can only speculate. I'll post what I have received before and after mentioning the addressee - when I'll find the time.

Wow...thanks for blogging, Heleen, 'tis a great blog you have!

i always try to add an animal somewhere on the mail art/envelope 

when i send to you :-) 'Love all the critters you create too:

hey, inhabitant of Postbus 581, your letter to the inhabitant of Postfach 100749 has arrived. I have to wait some time until I open  the original letter though because I like those Deutsche Post plastic covers so much.

Hey Heleen! Thank you for your welcome :)

Great that you are interested in the bookmark heads project! I will send you some heads as soon as possible :)

All the Best Geronimo

You are welcome Heleen!

Heleen, thank you for the collab Banana Post you sent to Kat and she passed on to me! Minions, bananas, bananas, bananas! So much fun!

HAPPY EASTER, to you and  the family, Heleen!

glad my goodies arrived on time!

Hi Helen, thank you, I am glad you got my mail and liked it! 

Oh, it would be great to get a cow sometime, but no rush ...

I've been very slow myself!

What a nice friendly owl!

'love it! Many thanks xxx

Heleen,  Glad that you'd like to work on a "trees" A&P, it will be on it's way to you shortly. Thank you!  ~Bill @ The Olathe Poste

Hello Heleen

I send you a collage in the framework of the program ADD & PASS. Please add and send on.

With good wishes in the new year,
Ilya

Hi Heleen,

Yes, please send me the Add N' Pass.

Thanks,

Norma

Dear Heleen

Thank. Returning the collage to Moscow would have had meaning if there was still free space on the paper sheet. I could complete the collage and send it to Brazil.

Or do you fill in the sheet yourself with signs?

Hello Heleen. My profile is up to date. The address I have there is the current one. See you in the mail. :)

Hi Heleen, thanks for letting me know about the A&P. To answer your question, send it on to whomever you like.  ~Bill@The Olathe Poste

Thanks for your help Heleen .

an envelope for Hannah's Birthday Box posted to Heleen today but it was severely 'labelled' by the P.O. clerk so heaven knows when it will arrive . . .

Dank je wel, Heleen! 

Bananas...on Onion Rings are blogged :-)

Thank you and best wishes to you too, happy 2022!

Hi! There are too many Groups already! Why just one on bicycles, and not others on tandems, trycycles, ligfiels, omafiets, opafiets, red bikes, orange bikes, school bikes, etc? The tendency is to have more and more specialised themed Groups. And I for one, think that is not what Mail Art should be all about: 'Mail me something, anything; and I'll ùail you something back'. By post, of course-- and not the internet

'Love the OWL you sent, Heleen,

many thanks xxx

Thank you, thank you, Heleen!

Hello. 
I was away from mail art but I started back from last month.

 I am organizing my old mail and found your mail. I like Kentridge’s works. Thank you. 
I will send you again when I am ready. 

Thanks Heleen de Vaan

Hey Heleen,

Welcome to the ABC Book! You have letter A

To be clear: you create one page of anything starting with your letter. The size of your page doesn't matter. 

Then you send me your page and I add it to my ABC book.

Then I photograph/scan the page and post it online for all to enjoy.

Let me know if you have questions. Thanks so much! Bonnie

Hello from Japan!

I already found someone to send the Add and Pass sheet but I would be happy to send you my mail art with hand-carved stamps. It would be great if we can exchange mail art :-)

Thank you Heleen for your mail that arrived today. Ali is delighted, so happy with his portrait!

Good day Art Post Maker, I love that you are in the Orange Lovers Group!!! This means that I can send you one of the Vintage Orange Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss Cards!

Thank you Heleen for your mail. It is hanging on my dining room wall so I can enjoy your art everytime I go by.  It has been admired and found very amusing, not just by me!

Fabulous Eat Art has arrived:

Thank you so much, Heleen!
