I love paper, postage stamps, calligraphy, wax seals, inks, ephemera, maps, art materials, and little illustrations in the margins...so much that I could eat them.
Recently, I sent some mail art to MaoMao aka Nat from Australia (http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/ScarletLetterbox). I've had a letter back from her husband letting me know that she has passed away quite unexpectedly, and to please let the IUOMA members know as he does not have access to her account.
I am shocked and saddened by her passing, as I considered her a dear fellow artist friend. I know that she was planning a trip to Oaxaca Mexico over Day of the Dead this year and I was so looking forward to all of the amazing art she was going to create and the stories she'd have to tell.
Please let me know if there's anything I can do to get the word out, or if you'd like a copy of the letter her husband sent me.
