Mail-Artist since:
2009
My Website (without http://):
http://www.myrealwall.com
Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I love writing and receiving letters and have recently closed my facebook account in order to concentrate on letter writing. These days, instead of posting on my facebook wall, I get people to write me by post and then I post everything on my REAL wall, and photograph it for upload to www.myrealwall.com

When I found out about the mail-art movement I realised that the wall, which itself is my work of art, was perfectly suited for incorporating other peoples art and decided that I would get involved in this community.

I am working on my own mail-art as well as actively involved in displaying any that I receive and I endeavour to write back to anyone who sends me anything.

Bring it on!

    Hello, Andy!  Will you pass on to Elena the news that my daughter has taken up quilling after seeing Elena's beautiful work?  Jennifer took one look and said, "THAT'S what I want to do," and I don't think she's thought of anything else since she got the supplies. xxxoo Boo

    Nice to cross paths with you here, Andy!  It's been awhile since I sent mail your way--something I will rectify soon....

  • Erica Durante

    Hi Andy! A postcard I sent you got returned to me. I wonder if I addressed it wrong? Is the address on your IUOMA page up-to-date?

  • Suus in Mokum

    Woooow, that is quick. Thank you.

  • Sarah Churchill

    Hey Andy. I've received an envelope that I think might be from you? I posted a pic on the Mail Art UK group
  • Christine Jones

    Yep - possums jump & when they land on your tin roof & then run across it - you'd swear they have hobnail boots on.  We watch a mother & 2 babies walk across the neighbour's roof, on to the cable wire, through the trees & then on to the telephone wires.  Our kookaburras are great too - not only do they laugh at some ungodly hour in the morning, we have lost goldfish to them.  Woke one morning to a slapping sound on the front footpath - a kookaburra had pinched a goldfish out of our pond & was beating it to death on our footpath before taking it off to devour it!  Gotta love wildlife!

    Hi Andy I hope to see you at the Tate Britain on the 5th at noon. At one oclock we have a huge table reserved at the Morpeth Arms, on Millbank going towards Vauxhall Bridge. Very good fish and chips there.

  • Christine Jones

    Hi Andy - keep in touch re your trip Down Under - if you get to Brisbane - there's a bed here for you both -we hope to be in UK in Sept/Oct to check out areas that Vic's ancestor's came from. So - hope we don't pass each other...

  • Christine Jones

    Let's hope we can coordinate - we'll only be away for 4-5 weeks - wouldn't want to miss the chance of showing you our neck of the woods.  Hey - I'm an artist in residence for a Studio Crawl in May.  This crawl takes place over 4 weekends & covers lots of miles.  The one I'm involved in is with 6 or 7 artists - 3 in one town, Boonah, 1 in a small village, Aratula, about 15 minutes from Boonah & then 2 friends & I at Tarome, about 10 mins from Aratula.  We hope people will come  - if not we'll have a wonderful weekend of playing with textiles.  My Mail Art will be strung around the studio - will send you the link when it's all up & running - just a little like the one we went on with you - well, sorta like it.  There will be wine & nibblies involved, I'm sure.

  • rebecca resinski

    Andy--Thanks for the postcard!  (The "new" address is just for a post-box in town--so the old address you have still works, too.)  I hope January has been kind to you & I'll send some mail your way before too long!

  • Suus in Mokum

    Hi Andy, please don't drop me from the list. Still working to reach the 365-mile stone. Suus
