    Mike, thank you so much for the gorgeous "pneumatology" card. I have been just staring at it for the longest time! And for the"poet" dictionary page! Thanks also for your nice letter and book recommendation. Although I am in good health I have been feeling quite old and fragile lately, so it sounds like a good book for me. You have really hit the ground running with your mail art--I'm happy to be your M.A. friend!

  • Toni Hanner -- tonipoet

    Mike, I thought you might like to see what I'm doing with the poetry book you sent me. I'm using it as an art journal! Merci beaucoup!

    Ciao Mike, non mi è  facile spiegare il mio lavoro, se non hai compreso, credo sia perché non sei molto esperto in arte e in mail art... prima di tutto non si manda mai indietro quello che si riceve... è come dire : " non ho gradito! Non mi piace! " ti abbraccio fraternamente. .. b

  • Bruno Cassaglia - poetArtist

    Va bene Mike, ti traduco quello che c'è scritto. ma non  devi rimandare indietro l'opera!  perchè? l'hai rispedita a me ?

    Hey Mike.  Thanks for the art mail I received from you last week.  I am on holiday now in Santa Fe NM, and by accident, stumbled into a cool, quirky rubber stamp store.  I managed to get out of there without breaking the bank, haha.  I did find something I love which you will get to see on my ne t post to you when I get home.  Watch for something from me in a week or two.  Cheers

  • Norma Soulet

    Hi Mike,

    Hope you are doing well.

    First of all did you get something from me?

    Thank you for the watercolor , I just posted it. Love how the Crypt cells look like cosmos flowers.

    Until next time

    Lucky for me I am officially retired so I try not to let things interrupt my art mail endeavors.  Making art in my pajamas, drinking coffee and listening to NPR is my favorite way to start the day.

    Of the three thrift stores in Spearfish, SD, the Salvation Army often has books on sale @ 5/99¢.  Sometimes they're 10/99¢.  Talk about a source of images and then some!  Yes, my alias is Ima Hoarder.

  • Norma Soulet

    Hi Mike,

    Your lovely letter and mail art arrived yesterday. I just blogged about them on my page. I love the "Double Surprise of the Circles".  Thank you so much.

  • Norma Soulet

    Hi Mike,

    Mail is on it's way to you!

  • barbargirl

    Mail on the way to you.

  • barbargirl

    Wow-that’s quick from here! 

  • Debra Mulnick

    Hi Mike.

    Thanks for your mail this week. I Love the vintage stamps.  

    You mentioned ordering the self inking return address stamp, but did not say where or what website to find it on.  Would you mind please sharing that info?

    Thanks so much. Your mail art friend in ID.  Debra

  • Heide Monster

    I'd love to hear your thoughts on envelopes

  • Debra Mulnick

    Hi.  I did check out the self inking return address stamp.

    I really like it but wish it was a bit smaller.......Another website/business that has fun stuff is Olathe poste in CO.  http://www.theolatheposte.com/.  If you visit their website, take a look under their mail art category.  I like the way you created a "screen" with slats (or weaving) around the photo images you cut out.  Very nice idea - it really seems to highlight the images.  Thanks again Mike.

  • nrd

    Mail Art received! Thank you! Really like the idea of mail that turns into a postcard for the recipient. Sending something to you very soon!

  • Norma Soulet

    Hi Mike,

    Happy Monday to You!

    So happy my mail art arrived and you like them.

    Can't wait to get mail from you soon. :)

  • barbargirl

    Hi Mike-thanks for the mail art “late spring snowstorm”. Hope the snow is done for at least a few months now!

  • Heide Monster

    Hi Mike, 

    Got in late last night and found the mail art.  Very nice indeed. 

  • Judy Staroscik

    Mike, We lost our playoff match today, 2 out of 5 courts.  I am disappointed, but ok.  I came home to find some new art supplies and two pieces of mail art, one from you.  Thanks so much.    As you get older, you sometimes feel like the fun is done.  But, getting a chance to play tennis (so much tennis), care for Wyatt and spend a lot of time reading and doing art . . .well, I know that there is A LOT of fun left to enjoy!  See you in the mail.  JUDY and JOEY

  • Jayne Barket Lyons

    Hi Mike, Dropped a small package in the mail to you this morning.  El cheapo goody from the Greater STL Book Fair last Friday.  I also found some cool, mail art "stuff."

    I went out to get some lunch and when I got back there was some mail art from you.  Nice surprise!  (You're getting good at this sewing thing. . .) :)  Thanks for the ATC and note.  Life is certainly a mystery, and I have also had bad things happen to good people I know.  Maybe some day we will understand more than we do now.  

        Have a good Monday.  See you in the mail.  JUDY and JOEY

  • Norma Soulet

    Hi Mike,

    Happy Friday to you!
