I’d love to blog received mail art on my projects’ blogspot blogs (animals; solitude; doctors) and here at IUOMA, but daily life is too full with work and care of family, to even create all mail art I have…"

Barcode Mail Art
Barcodes. They are everywhere, but surprisingly not used that often in mail art. When I received this piece of Barcode mail art (named 'Variation on a barcode Op. 99') thanks to Dean, Artist in Seine, I wanted to post it in the IUOMA Barcode Mail Art group. However... I couldn't find any Barcode group!.. That's why and how this group started here.You can post your received or sent Barcode…See More
"Thank you again, Dean, and such a honour that your book is mail art nr 1500!
I’ll keep the mystery - to the other IUOMA members - for a little longer while. To post it in the Wowissa-group (hopefully soon) :-)"
Big Brother is watching us
For the ones who were thinking that only email, facebook sites and other private digital sources are watched by Big Brother (all of our governments, intelligence services, other authorities, other others?): Wake Up! Also snail mail turns out to be subject to unwanted secretly spying eyes!... From now on we will be watched even more closely than before: as a member of this group you can share your…See More
"Thank you in advance, Val! As long as you think it boring you should not te-post it. But if the beauty and deepness of this card is suddenly unveiled for you, yes please, do! Otherwise I can post it there as soon as I’ll have received it.
p.s.…"
"Not boring at all, Val, in contrary: interesting! I love those sheep, so if this card still is available, and not compostated / buried under any boredom, please send it to me and I will send you a really bored/boring postcard in return! (I’ll…"
"ORANGE envelope from Ann Golden:"
"Happy it arrived. Take your time opening it. You might also want to be sitting down. Enjoy"
"Those good old days revive! Because I see you blogging new AiS mail art and....I received a mysterious parcel from the city of the river Seine! (although the stamps made me think it was from the city of the river Amstel)
I will unbox it in the…"
"Ah, the good ol' days :-)
So good to see the Artist in Seine!"
"Hi, I guess I missed this blog somehow. I just had a look at your photos and said to myself, "I did that?" It's so cool.
Thank you for you blog. What a delight to see this again."
"How good to see that Artist in Seine is back to barcoding again!
Great altered postcard, although I keep on thinking that it is a real photo, of a large, enormous bar code painting in a Parisian (AiS’s) living room..."
"Happy Birthday! Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag!"
"And an other extra bar code, this time over the address and not so easily removable.. And in exchange, the Post tore off a little part of the artistamp..
Thank you, Cascadia Artpost for this very interesting mail!"
"@Heleen - the black barcode looks like it was applied here in the US. I have no idea if any postal services can read the codes from another country. Glad the added one could be easily removed, just like the USPS ones."
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?
Posted on January 3, 2018 at 1:21am 142 Comments 18 Favorites
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 3:36pm 4 Comments 3 Favorites
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…

Dear Heleen
Thank. Returning the collage to Moscow would have had meaning if there was still free space on the paper sheet. I could complete the collage and send it to Brazil.
Or do you fill in the sheet yourself with signs?

Hello Heleen

With good wishes in the new year,
Ilya
