Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I love to send and receive art through the mail. As an art teacher for many years, I truly believe everyone is an artist; there are no mistakes in art.

    Dear Kathy, your really incredible skeleton pair of the fisher and his mermaid arrived yesterday and let me speechless! It is so amazing and fascinating how you create complete little stories by your combination of things! I feel honoured to get something so witty and creative!

    At the moment I have caught a bad cold and feel completely feeble, so I don't know when I will send you something back! but you are the fierst I will think of!

    I hope you are all right and send you my best wishes!!!

    Hi dear Kathy, Today your wonderful fat envelope arrived and the fabulous fabric with it! Thank you so much, I love the pattern and the colours! I often sew fabrics together and so I am sure these will find a very fitting place! Now an envelope for you is on the way, but I really don't know if it will arrive in time for Christmas! If it does not I send you my very best wishes and hugs and wish you a nice duck in the oven like us! fattest hugs from Germany  Charlotte

  • Charlotte Geister

    Hello dear Kathy, your wonderful "catapus" has arrived and I think it is absolutely gorgeous! Really fascinating work! and I am rather a fan of cats and octopuses! They are both very sly creatures and  think you always manage the combination of different things most wonderful! Thanks you so much! And thanks for your nice letter also; I will send you something soon! Very best wishes and many many hugs from Charlotte

    I'm so stoked to be the new caretaker of an articulated alligator! Thank you for sending him to me. I've named him Bert. Here he is sunning in the backyard...

    A scuba diving cat and tiny octopi along with a note...? How do you do it...? Thank you for making me smile today Kathy and I wish you some peace in November when you can turn inward - take care you you too!

  • emily louise

    can't remember if I acknowledged getting your wonderful umbrella envelope with the delightful mermaid with cat and umbrella inside--another  clever and fun movable image.  LOVE them!   So sorry for your loss of our father.  I know how that can then lead to so many other things to handle afterwards.  I am working on getting to making mail art to send back to ou and plan to use at least one of the fun old National Geographic images you sent me!   Should be fun to make and hopefully fun for you to eventually get. 

  • Mail Art Martha

    Kathy, the  Sticker Dude address is wrong. I suspect he does  not check his page.

    Today I received an envelope from him and the return address is

    70 West 36th St. %th floor New York NY 10018.

    I will remind him when I write to him for Valentine's Day, my next post goes out around the end of January

  • Mary Anne

    No solution to the mystery mail art from Atte Ourie,

    no return address, no profile page, no website, ...so we just enjoy getting it.

    (we know it comes from Helsinki, Norway...)

  • arttower

    I enkodiere the Mystery too

  • Charlotte Geister

    Dear Kathy, yesterday your wonderful artistic snake-lady arrived in a rather deranged envelope, that was held together by the post office , but I think everything arrived unharmed, even the sweet coloured lollipop! But I think it must have taken some time to come to me! Thanks sooo much the lady has found a pretty place at the wall in front of my working place; it is so inspiring to look at! 

    I am always thrilled when I find an envelope of you in my post-office, always a great joy and surprise! Hope the New Year has started peacefully for you, dear Kathy!

    Best wishes and a lot of warm hugs from a grey Germany , Charlotte

  • Charlotte Geister

    Dear Kathy, thanks so much for your magnificent dancing robot! I am really a fan of your interactive mailart! He will join the lady with the snake, that is hanging in front of my desk! And don't harm yourself in the garden! Sometimes I am quite sad, that we have only a small balcony that is the home for a dozen tomato plants, but when I am thinking about it, it is just enough! I have printed and experimented quite a lot the last days, so I will look for some thing nice to send to you! You are really one of the best! Stay creative and don't get sick! Many, many hugs

    Dear friend, even here where I live in Liguria (ITALY), it's all a desert! W IUOMA will pass first!

    Cara Amica, anche qui dove vivo io in Liguria (ITALIA), è tutto un deserto! passerà prima  W IUOMA!

  • Charlotte Geister

    Hi Kathy, Thanks for your news! here in the middle of Germany is everything much quieter. We live near the city and there was always a lot of talking and singing from people coming home from the pubs. Now the nights are really silent and I can sleep very well! my husband war working with his pupils via internet but it was rather special for him because you cannot reach the boys and girls directly and you must have quite a lot of material to present. I am happy that I just not cope with these challenge anymore! But I had to cancel my painting course and so there is a hole in my bag.Stay safe and pay attention! Hugs and smiles

    Dear Kathy, today your magnificent fat little boy with his monkey friends arrived! Your movable mail art is always such fun and joy to me, these small monkeys and the unfriendly looking boy with his claws is such a fantastic combination! Thanks very very much! And you will not believe it, but my brother and I had just such a monkey, that you could pull up with a key and then it jumped to and fro and clapped his instrument. When I opened the envelope and took a look I remembered our old monkey for the first time after long years! So thank you again. I hope you are quite well. Here the weather is wonderful, but much too dry. We have a blue sky since 2-3 weeks and warm temperatures and you can look and see the trees blooming and growing. At monday my husband has to start teaching with half of the class and the the higher classes, that will pass an exam in the summer. It is all rather difficult to manage with this distance problems.

    Take care of your self and have some fun! I will send something soon!

    Best wishes and hugs

    Hi Kathy, I had just put a card in the post office for Missouri, when I discovered a new envelope with 4 bathing beauties in my mail-box! Incredible wonderful! Immediately I had to think at the film with Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell where they wear these sexy bathing suits! Thanks so much! Your fantasy is so fascinating, I love it!!!

    At the moment I am sewing face masks on end, but I will think about something for you! Stay healthy and creative! And 1000 Thanks (I am always thrilled like a school girl when I discover an envelope of yours in the mail-box) Fat hugs

    Charlotte

  • Charlotte Geister

    Dear Kathy, your Lady with the special hungry pot plant arrived! So delicate with all these open mouths! Your creations are a real miracle! At the moment I am experimenting with a new kind of monotype and so I will send you an example soon!

    I hope you are quite well and healthy! Enjoy your garden and do not dig so much!

    Hugs Charlotte

  • Charlotte Geister

    Hi Kathy, your wonderful ladies in the frame with the great umbrella arrived yesterday! So I hurried and now have finished a card that will come in an envelope because of the silk fabric I used. I hope it does not take too long. The US Mail is not quite safe at the moment, I think. Jack of Cascadia artpost got a card, that I have sent in March just last week!  So warm hugs and best wishes from Germany

    Charlotte

  • Amy Kiessling

    Thanks Kathy!  Looking forward to seeing you in the mail. 

  • Charlotte Geister

    Hi Kathy, When I opened the mail box yesterday your wonderful black cat envelope just met my eyes! So amazing with a black cat looking out of the dark and then your wonderful antique Halloween portrait in it! Thanks sooo much! Your mail is always so much fun and fantasy! here the November is still friendly and not too cold, so that the tomatoes are still on the balcony and get some sun. I hope you and your beautiful cat are quite well and enjoy cosy evenings!  Best wishes and I will make something for you soon! Hugs and smiles

    finally---mail art is in the mail on its way to you!

  • Charlotte Geister

    Hello  Kathy, I wish you a happy New Year and I am very happy too, because your two boys arrived, one holding a butterfly the other the red bug! I love them! And this time it is really special, because my son studied biology and is a specialist for butterflies! So the two have joined my collection in front of my desk so that I can have a look at them at each time! Be careful and stay healthy! Warm hugs

    Charlotte

  • Charlotte Geister

    Dear Kathy! Now your wonderful Koi riding young boy on the envelope, taking care of the Koi riding young woman in the bathing suit have arrived and made me completely happy! So cunning that you can even move her foot and head, so that she  can behave really like a modern mermaid! Absolute fantastic, I did hardly dare to open the fascinating envelope.  I will think a fine reply and will send you a mail art as soon as possible. At the moment I am just finishing a little jacket for my new granddaughter but then I will set to work immediately! Pay attention and stay healthy! All kind of fat hugs from a grey Germany 

    Charlotte

  • emily louise

    Love your the envelope and mermaid "riding koi"!   I love the cleverness of your creations.  Weirdly, I also got the envelope I sent you awhile back sent back to me because part of your address had fallen off so they couldn't deliver it.  So I put that back in the mail to you today and will work on getting you something in response to your latest....hope it gets to you this time!

  • Charlotte Geister

    Hi Kathy, now your fantastic fish heads have arrived and felt completely enthusiastic! All the different and so specialised feet! I just had do stop and think whose feet you have adopted for you artwork! I love every inch of it!

    Everywhere it is getting better with Covid-19 in Germany, and so I could hug my best friend for the first time since a real long time! And bistros and restaurants are allowed to open outdoors. That is really fine, even if the weather is the most ghastly for weeks: much too cold with a lot of rain, no strawberries yet!

    I will send you something fine soon, dear Kathy! lots of hugs, for the cat too!

    Hi Kathy; I fell in love with your photographer cat immediately, when it arrived yesterday ! And the other 4 smaller manipulated photos are so cool too! specially the two women, one with the plate of eggs on the head and the other wearing a lot of lizards instead of hair, really stunning! The photographer cat will get a fine place on the kitchen wall (my wall of fame!) beside the catapus. School has started again and everyone must test himself three times a week to make sure he is alright. But otherwise the situation is getting easier: days have been warm still, so everyone is sitting outside drinking coffee or having lunch. And the shopping is easier too; I hope the situation will stay like this! Pay attention, dear Kathy, and stay well and healthy! I will take part at an art fairy in two weeks, but afterwards I will send you something fine! Best wishes and a lot of hugs! Cuddle the cosy cat! charlotte
