Plush Possum Studio-Rose McGuinn

This is hard to believe, Mme McGuinn but the combined forces of the US Postal Services and la Poste have actually managed to deliver something from you to me! Oh Happy Days...and thanks (to you -- not the US and French sorters and couriers) for the map. Now I know where to find you, I have booked my ticket and hire car and should be with you for the Easter weekend.

But if I fail to turn up in person, I'll send you something wine related -- rosé, of course -- which you will probably enjoy better than you wouild enjoy my, er, company.

Happy Easter, and may all of your Easter eggs be filled with chocolate goodies.

Regards, Val

Thank you Plush..., for your friend request. Nice to "meet" you.

What do you mean by work together to help neighbors? Could you tell me more details if you have one?

My idea for the call if ask donation of radio and mail art together to send the radio station to Tohoku. I found that on TV that they are asking for radio for victim listeners. I will write more detail on call blog.

Dear Rose, I would love to exchange ART for ART. I agree with you--that  exchange is sacred. I don't need to see your work to mail you something of mine. I'm not quite sure what you mean about messaging me your address. Is that online? So it doesn't become a record on this site?

With regard to skills...well, I'm self taught and my "artistry" comes from doing. I believe we all can draw but do understand a certain amount of skill comes from process...just like I can't do collage the way many do it on this site....I am constantly wow-ed by what I see here. Cheers for now, Ruth

Hello  Rose,

I sent you something but it came back today and they even peeled of the adress and the stamps.Pffff I'm going to try again.

Dear Possum;

I gather that you are a bit in the dumps. I am sorry to hear that and I think what you need is a good Mail Art project of your own. To receive stuff is very uplifting.

I have been giving the dolls a lot of thought and have reached the conclusion that the dolls should not be mixed with Andy’s project. By what he said I understand that he welcomes anybody to put a picture of a travelling toy in his blog, only that, not asking for participation in a similar but different project. He is too polite to say it directly. For instance somebody added a photo of a toy monkey in his blog and that is fine, that is what alerted me. What we wanted to do was more of an intrusion in his blog/group and that is not on.

Better will be to start another group and you should be the ‘manager’.  I do not think it will be possible to have two people doing the same group, I have never done one and I do not know how it works but I suppose it is not difficult. Anyway it would be a super thing for you to do and will cheer you up no end. Also I have two websites which I have to maintain and that is keeping me very busy so really I should not take up anymore to do.

I am not abandoning you; I will help you with the wording and anything else you want. One idea I had to simplify the project ( if it is complicated people will not participate so much) is to put an undressed doll postcard size for people to download and dress it and then upload it again in the group so we all can see it. This way you do not have to do the documentation, easy. That is good because it doesn’t look like the travelling toy project, it is a dress up project only, rather original, I never seen one before.

PS: I just read your comment about the travelling luggage in Andy's group, that is such a great idea, perhaps better to concentrate on it and leave the dolls for after, they'll keep. 

I am happy to go along with your timetable, may be mine will get sorted in the meantime.

My New Year resolution was not to start any project of my own but respond to others more. Same as last year but last year I got into the Artistamps show. This year I will like to stick to it!

here is an invitation to pARTicipate in the SECREt eXCHANGE exhibitions...pass the invitation on to your friends, and let me know on my page if you will or won't be able to contribute; for details, go to IUoMA Events...or click on the link http://secretexchange.yolasite.com/   

thx,

Terry Reid

and hope to hear from you

Hi Rose,

I'm glad it finally arrived and you liked it. Thank you for your compliments on my work.

Have a nice day, Imelda

Did you know that if a Knight of the Realm kisses a Lost Sock Princess in Westminster, or anywhere else, she will turn into a pumpkin? (And he will be arrested and incarcerated at Riker's island, no doubt for harassment...and worse)

Vizza kiss Rosie, Please? A snog behind the bike sheds?! Lost Prince Val

THIS MESSAGE WAS CENSORED BY IUOMA!

Monsieur le Croque

What does the 'H' in your name stand for?

Happily Yours Herman's Hermit

Bonjour! Nothing had arrived in yesterday's post, and I will have changed countries 3 times before today's arrived. Post from the US to France usually takes 5-7 days...except when those naughty Possums get involved, of course.

I have to make some sandwiches to eat on the plain --ham, mustard, cheese and cukeumber -- and then go.

And your 'H'??

Au revoir,

MijnheerTosti Ham en Kaas

"WTF - a tag? Whoda thought?"

Ready, set, go!

My momma always told me:

"better a Smart ass than a dumb ass"

our trip to Austria was fantastic, great weather and lots of Friedenreich Hundertwasser art in the hotel. Do you know him? i love him, seems superficial but he was very concerned with the environment when nobody thought about those things yet.

Thanks for asking after Giles health, nothing is wrong with him just he is very fat and lazy and so I take Canigou the dog who keeps himself fit. Here he is:

Well he is not, the photo will not load. this is an improvement as for three days I could not even get to the IUOMA sites, will send it later

i want to do some work Hundertwasser inspired since last year when we also went to his place in Austria and still haven't found the time! may be ATC?

Go to www.badblumau.au 

Fancy a trip to Europe?  

oops! the website for the Spa is:

www.blumau.com

but it is in german, better to google 'Blumau Hundertwasser' to get it in english.
