RECVD MAILART DSF 11-12-20 AND POSTED

"This is water long gone under the bridge, but I was pranked by these too. They are fake DSF Cult. First, Michael Kelly (aka) DSF is a tremendous correspondent, brilliant artist. None of this should impact DSF as a respected Eternal…"

"One's own natural fragmentation can become really exhausting every 3 or 4 or 7 years. I appreciate the thought-provoking comments, Mel Anie and DVS, thanks."

"Nancy, this one is a minimalist you! It's so busily tranquil. DVS, if we're not worrying about genre, I'd love to cross some sundried fragments to a JL foundation, please."

"Thanks for posting Nancy (NBS). "Bust Stop" (this is in the Yoma People's Gallery of Obsolete Technology & Cattle Mutations too?) is a stunner, just hitting me (totally subjective) that the work achieves a unity. It's…"

I wonder if you received snail mail from me? It was Foldilope #9 which is dedicated to DK and Trashpo.

At 6:02am on February 25, 2021, Mail Art Martha said…: Ooops! I had not missed you comment. I had seen it and thanked you and been most flattered. I definitely going bananas.

At 5:53am on February 25, 2021, Mail Art Martha said…: I don't know if it is 'human error'' ( my own fault) or the technology getting in the way but I missed your comment of December 28. By now I cannot remember to what it referred but it was nice of you. Thanks!

At 1:54pm on February 8, 2021, Jeanette Geissler said…: hi De Villo Sloan, thanks for the tip in "Trashpo" group.....

intresting experiments from you on flickr.com.

At 4:59pm on February 7, 2021, Mel Anie said…: Mel Ange! Yes, that is a very suitable name. You can call me that anytime.

Long live the Queen!

At 9:57pm on December 31, 2020, Mel Anie said…: Oh, my eyes are watching me and so are yours! It has taken me a few days to even realise you left this link. My apologies but I don't have a watch and I run by a different time. It's usually very fast but sometimes I am a bit slow too; depends on routes of diversion. But when it comes to trashpo, nuevo or old-vo, I haven't even got onto that path yet. So I am very curious to find out where I am going. Thank you in advance, devil-lo.

At 3:27am on December 24, 2020, Mah Nu said…: i love the scan of the P. Orridge collage! Im a big fan of a lot of their work....yes Gen was both very human and very cosmic.... thanks for sharing! I will surely send some things your way very soon...just about caught up with responses after a few days off that routine (partly due to a couple cassette collaborations I needed to finish up and mail away)

More soon,

Mah Nu
