"Thank you for creating this group and the wonderful idea!
Maybe we could all make a start, each of us take one page, make 3 or 4 (up to for example 6) panels (frames) on it and send it to the next person who adds something (characters or speech…"

"How sad that Carlos Botana passed away...
When I think of Carlos' work, I think of sea and Sereas (mermaids).
This mail he sent to me in 2011:"
Homage to Carlos BOTANA. XX/ 2022
Carlos BOTANA was a active IUOMA member and this group was made to share our thoughts and create a place to remember him.He died in Jun 25, 2022, after years of fighting cancer.He was a multidisciplinary artist: painting, drawing, engraving, photography, postal art, graphic design in advertising and journalism. He has participated in several group and individual exhibitions since the 1980s.See More
"I just saw a message of Val in my email (not the IUOMA mailbox) about Manhole Cover day, and I think it a good idea!
However, I cannot find the message to reply to - the link in the message in the email leads to this website and not to a…"
"Such a good idea, Rebekka!
I love comics!! (and I love ligne claire drawings). So I would like to join :-)
Though to some personal life tasks I am a rather slow responder at the moment (there are still people here at IUOMA to whom I owe one or more…"

For these two bananas it is too late, but I really appreciated their being:

"A torn corner of a postcard I made and sent to my friend Danielle, damaged in transit and returned to me in a "We Care" baggie, stapled to an index card. I have not opened it yet to see what the other side looks like, shown here set…"
We love those postal additions!
Some times mail art gets lost in the mail, and other times the mail company is so kind to add something to our mail art. Dynamic art, I love that!In this group you can post the postal additions to the mail art that you´ve sent or received. Additions by the mail companies which made you smile, touched you or whatever. Additions which are, in fact, part of the Mail Art!See More

Profile Information
- Mail-Artist since:
- 2009 (and not aware being mailarting since 1979)
- My Website (without http://):
- http://heleendevaan.blogspot.com
- Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
- Making illustrations is my life.
Furthermore: I like to see other people's creative outbursts, love to see creative additions to envelopes. I like stamps, like to communicate via art works, I'm fascinated by how snail mail works: put a stamp and address on an envelope and a whole system of people and transportation means is bringing that single envelope to wherever you want.
Count up all previous words and see: Mail Art is inevitable.
P.S. If you want to create and send me mail art about your favourite (weird or common) animal I will be most happy; I'll like to post it on my http://realweirdanimals.blogspot.com blog.

What or whom is she staring at?

I've sent her to various colleague mail artists.
And great 'this is what she sees' returned home.
Of course new visions still are welcome.
Thank you very much, all of you!

Stamps which are almost loose but still in their place... Mail from Paris...
That must be Dean's!
The stamps were added to an enormous box which had succeeded to enter my p.o.box. Too big for the scanner, so I show it thanks to 'real…

The Soccer Field AAP's
Posted on October 24, 2015 at 2:36pm 4 Comments 3 Likes
For some unknown reason I got a note-pad full of soccer field sheets. First I wanted to draw my favourite soccer team in it, but that appeared too much work regarding the little time I have.
Fortunately some colleague mail artists are willing to help to complete the sheets.
I'll post the added-to-and-passed-on-and-returned-to-me sheets in this…

Hello from Japan!
I already found someone to send the Add and Pass sheet but I would be happy to send you my mail art with hand-carved stamps. It would be great if we can exchange mail art :-)

Hey Heleen,
Welcome to the ABC Book! You have letter A
To be clear: you create one page of anything starting with your letter. The size of your page doesn't matter.
Then you send me your page and I add it to my ABC book.
Then I photograph/scan the page and post it online for all to enjoy.
Let me know if you have questions. Thanks so much! Bonnie

Hi! There are too many Groups already! Why just one on bicycles, and not others on tandems, trycycles, ligfiels, omafiets, opafiets, red bikes, orange bikes, school bikes, etc? The tendency is to have more and more specialised themed Groups. And I for one, think that is not what Mail Art should be all about: 'Mail me something, anything; and I'll ùail you something back'. By post, of course-- and not the internet
