Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I found out about IUOMA from a woman wearing postage stamp pajamas at Breitenbush Hot Springs. I have been exchanging mail art throughout my life with my sister, a retired USPS letter carrier.

I like to make art and send and receive mail. I like the idea that in mailing a piece of art you are giving it away.

I love paper, printmaking, collage, color, surrealism, juxtaposition, all things vintage.

I am a bookseller, and also recycle old books into journals.

  • Debra Mulnick

    Hi Amy.  Your story of finding out about IUOMA from someone wearing postage stamp pajamas - at Breitenbush Hot Springs is crazy.  Having been there years ago, I can envision the vibe.  I had a really strange experience while there, too weird to share here.  Anyway, it's great to be exchanging mail with you.  You should be getting something from me anyday now.  Happy New Year.

  • David Stafford

    Amy,

    I do have a paypal account but I never really use it so just send me a check. That will be fine. I'm glad  you liked the package.

    Dave

  • Melanie Reed

    Just found about this group from Barb Candiotti -- are you her sister or a relative? I like the idea of a Pacific NW mail artists group, and would love to attend a group meeting whenever it next becomes possible. I am also a big fan (and practitioner) of collage and surrealism. Please check out my photos and website if you care to. I'll send some mail art your way! :) - Melanie

  • Melanie Reed

    What IUOMA groups would you recommend that are a good fit for surrealists? - Melanie

  • allison

    hi amy, thanks for the friend request! looking forward to exchanging with you!

  • Fast Eyes

    That envelope full of fun come from you?
  • Edamameg

    Thank you SO much for the envelope of goodies, Amy! I love the gocco print! 

  • Ann Golden

    Thank you for the pouched and folded envelope.. Amazing it was not shredded enroute. iIt spired me to do some cutouts in a return envelope,but  I did back them since the mono print paper element is a bit fragile.

  • Ann Golden

    Cannot believe how many bloopers in recent comments and posts. 

  • Ann Golden

    Amy’s delicate envelope featured punched and possibly cut elements that survived cancellation intact.

  • Francis Lammé

    Sometimes it works dadapoetically to make mistakes. Gokko print sounds almost like a rip off fashion label. Surviving cancellation intact. Pouched envelope. Lovely bloopers.

  • Heather Wilkie (paganfrog)

    Hiya Amy, your sugar skull postcard arrived with me in the UK this week. thanks for such a nice printed card :-)

  • Tyler Hannigan

    Hi Amy, sending you my "Old Pickup" artist cover with endicia stamp and a like ATC - - Regards, Ty
