<p>Hi all ! I am very new to IUOMA, joining a few weeks ago. It was such a pleasant surprise to receive mail the very first week after I joined. I want to thank <a href="http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/Brent" target="_blank">Human Artist Vending Machine</a>, <strong><a href="http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/MimGolubScalin" target="_blank">Mim Golub Scalin</a></strong>, and <a href="http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/RichardCanard" target="_blank">Richard Canard</a> for being so kind to a new member. I loved what they sent me (see <a href="http://iuoma-network.ning.com/photo/photo/listForContributor?screenName=17v49matfax8v" target="_blank">photos</a> I posted yesterday)</p>
<p></p>
<p>I thought I would post a photo of some cards I made over the weekend which will be my first outgoing mail art. I like to incorporate old ephemera in my art, along with mixed media and photography. This first batch is a combination of 1920's Newspapers, 1960's Comic Books, a 1950's How-To Book, and some 1990's Patriot Militia Newsletters. Quite a mixture, huh?</p>
<p>This has been fun! I look forward to exchanging lots of mail art down the road. I would love to trade with anyone out there, and I would be happy to do extended features of your art work on my web site <a href="http://photoartsmagazine.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">PHOTO/arts Magazine</a>. I have edited this site since 2007 and it attracts an international readership. I am also on the board of directors of <a href="http://www.theartblog.org/" target="_blank">The Art Blog</a>, an internationally recognized and award winning art website which is celebrating 10 years in existence this year.</p>
<p>Send me your work! I promise to always send something in return and will follow up with my favorite artists to do feature posts on PHOTO/arts Magazine or The Art Blog.</p>
<p></p>
<p>All the best from a newbie!</p>
