Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I love to create things - but even more than that I like to share the things I make. I love the inspiration that comes from receiving art from others, and nothing beats the experience of holding actual art (as opposed to just looking at electronic images,say). I like having 'treats' to look forward to - and receiving mail art is a big treat for me. I get huge joy from imagining how my art is travelling, and how it will be received when it arrives. It makes me smile.

    Thanks so much for the great ephemera you sent me. I especially like the postcard with the human form stamps. I am very sorry for being so late in responding with my thanks. Now that the holidays are over, I'm hoping to concentrate on getting some mail art done. I will send you something soon. Thank you for thinking of me. Happy New Year! Terry Owenby

    Essentially,

    most of what you see there is related to my activity in Paris between 1985 - 1999

    (or there abouts).

    As I no longer do Activations

    and have not since about 1995,

    there is nothing to add.

    There are unpublished pages that need cleaning up on my To Do List, however.

    It seems that I am more active in present and do not dwell on the past which is what that blog is mostly about.

    I went by the rubber stamp store. . . they no longer carry carving erasers. You can try on line or maybe ask Eraser Heed. Sorry Rick

    Thank you so much.

    Hi Petrolpetal, I received this great postcard in my mailbox today.  I posted pics in my gallery.  I experimented with orientation and chose this one as it seems to reveal the face of a woman wearing earrings and lipstick.  I love this art, thank you! I will mail you something soon. :) :)

    Hi Petrolpetal...thanks so much for the mail art that arrived this week. The wonderful imagery seems to evoke a a jungle or verdant landscape. I was very impressed with the stamp which features the South African Taita Falcon (an endangered species). We also have endangered peregrine falcons in the USA. So it was enlightening to read about your endangered Taita Falcon which is a victim of pesticides, as are our peregrine falcon and other birds. We now have 250 pairs of peregrine falcons, up from only 2. They have been bred in captivity locally over the past 40+ years, and then released. San Jose, California, a neighboring city, has a pair that nests on the City Hall building. Each spring the nest is observed by means of a web cam. I've been an avid watcher of the Falcon Cam, as it is called. The city's school children enter a contest to name the birds.

    Thank you so much for the beautiful card you sent me!  Received it a few days ago and love it. - Gail Anderson

    Will send you something soon.  Please let me know when you receive it. - Gail Anderson

  • Neil Gordon

    Glad it arrived, the one before that must have entered a black hole to worm hole!

  • Carmela Rizzuto

    Hi Petrolpetal---I was intrigued by the stamp on the mail that you sent. It looked like a falcon, a bird that I particularly admire. I have seen them locally in the nature park where I walk.  I researched the stamp online and was surprised to find that the Taita was as endangered as our US falcons. The breeding center that is repopulating our falcons is about 30 miles from here. No need to send the stamps except on mail to me. Thanks for offering.

    Thank you for the gorgeous laminated black and silver card. I posted it today. I love it! 

  • Terry Owenby

    I forgot to mention in my comment that I really like the postage stamp you used on the laminated card. I was surprised that the stamp was still affixed to the card when it arrived because the stamp slid off easily when I touched it, as if there was no glue whatsoever. :-)

  • Solimini Renata

    A mail art project for 2015.

    What I need from you:
    Send me a postcard, size 4”x6”
    Something you created, a photo, drawing, collage or handwritten message.
    Please make sure it contains your name and return address.

    What you get in return:
    I will mail you an original 4”x6” work of art and information on where to find the audio portion of this project.
    The audio portion will consist of a 3 minute soundtrack to your art. I will create an original composition based on your art.
    I plan on making the audio available as a “pay what you like” download, once I have compiled enough tracks for a full length release.
    I may also curate an art show with your art and my sounds.

    Legal mumbo jumbo: By sending me your art, you are giving me permission to show your art on my website, facebook group etc. You are also giving me permission to use it for any print material in the future. You will of course be credited.

  • Heleen de Vaan

    Thank you very much, PetrolPetal, for your beautiful mail art!

    I received it already almost two weeks ago, but am too busy to keep up, so sorry for my late note...

    I've posted it also here. And couldn't resist to name it 'Hurray', as I see two happy faces (and one wondering if there's a party starting), I see 'hurray!'-gesturing hands, and tomorrow is your b-day.

    Happy birthday in advance!

    Love the stamp, and the way it has been cancelled, too! Thank you very much!
