I was turned on to Dali and Max Ernst in my 20s and that was it for me. Ever since, I’ve been a committed Surrealism fan and Surrealist artist. Though Surrealism covers a wide range of media, tones and styles, it has an unmistakable vibe for those who resonate with it.

At 7:28am on February 4, 2021, Mel Anie said…: Hi Melanie, thanks for you message. I can read them but I can't reply to them (ning problem). I'll respond in the mail because otherwise I think my continual public commenting will be taking up too much screen space for other people.

At 3:03am on January 21, 2021, Amanda Becerra said…: Thank you so much for the collage mail art! I love the origami heads! I will send mail to you soon!

At 7:47am on January 9, 2021, Amanda Becerra said…: Thanks so much Melanie for such a neat story book and pictures! They are all so lovely! I love the grey scale with the color pops! Thanks so much for trading. I hope mine hits your mail box soon!

At 3:13am on January 3, 2021, Mah Nu said…: Hi Melanie! I received The Party and Home Brew on the 31st! Thank you so much, I've documented these with scans of them on my IUOMA blog. Will correspond this week~

At 10:34pm on December 9, 2020, Mah Nu said…: Thank you very much for "In the Depths", "Dropping", and "Protection". They were received by me yesterday. I love the blending of body and texture in your pieces. Currently looking around the walls of my room, trying to find the perfect spot for them :) Some of my art is on its way to you now!

At 12:21pm on September 11, 2020, Yvonne Kettner said…: Hi Melanie, thanks for being my friend, I hope we can exchange mailart soon. Creative greetings, Yvonne

At 9:13pm on July 13, 2020, Erika Kuever said…: Hi Melanie!

My apologies, I was quite active on IUOMA for some time, but then I moved to Denmark, where it is quite expensive to send lots of international mail. But I do still make and send postcards, and I'd love to receive yours and send one in return. If you don't mind sending internationally I've updated my address.

Thanks and have a lovely day :)

At 9:24pm on July 12, 2020, Edamameg said…: Thank you for the gorgeous mail art collages, Melanie! Just spectacular - plus a truly remarkable envelope, too! WOW! I'm honored to be connected to you. Something from me is on it's way! xo, Edamameg
