Always so great to receive mail art from Test Tower at HeeBee JeeBee Land!

In November Test Tower writes that he was able to attend the Grand Opening

of MOA = Museum of Artistamps in Seattle! How great is that!

On the flip side of the card is more MOA:…

Some of you might have had the pleasure to exchange with Christina A.Tarantino over the past couple of years... she lost her battle with cancer December 7, 2012. She will be missed and her words of encouragement will be echoed in the mail art world.

I have been asking everyone to add red lips in her honour. She would have enjoyed that...I'm sure.  RIP Christina darling!…

Your mail art is always charming, Nancy. The old photograph and the little booklet are wonderful.…

A fitting bifurcation of "...Syracuse, NY..." and "...central Florida, east of Sarasota..."…

Some wonderful art and poetry from Guido. He also included his card and an invitation to an exhibition about book-themed mail art. Definitely will take part!!! Thanks Guido!!

That was the front. Here is the back:

I was so honored to receive this parcel. Man, it was full of some goodies:

So bright! The back is very beautiful and funny. There is a wonderful copy of an analysis of ten-year-old John writing to his auntie. "Was he being satirical when he says the towel was the best towel her had ever seen?"…

a beautiful mail art envelope...thank you Roberto *!*

Mim altered a MOMA postcard for me. It's much better now!!! Thank you Mim!!

It says, "'We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of reorganizing and appreciating what we do have.' -Fredrick Koeing"

That's very apt!!! I would think it is akin to Mail Art. But, seems like…

Here is a piece by Moan Lisa as part of her Mermaid project...Love it!!! but it looks like Ms. Moan has gone off the grid again...She has a gift on the layering to actually create texture...so mystic and beautiful...Thank you Moan Lisa *!*

and then a second piece was received 2 days after..."blind judgement > understanding"...I don't know if this is just a statement…

One of these mail art coincidences: lots of pictures of animals from Alaska (Dall's sheep e.g.) - and I'm thinking about going to Alaska for the next summer holidays! How on earth could you know that, Nancy??

Thanks a…

Received one of Ruud's great envelopes with IUOMA-devetionalia! Thanks!…

Erni lives, "E" is not dead

I have two blogs that I blog on regularly. One is for my Mail Art and for other things in my life - nothing really personal, however, as I like to keep things personal. I have lots of images of my trips, mainly our artist residencies in Paris. They were always so meaningful in terms of being able to create work. Also, I got to visit with Dean, Andy, Elena, and Positively Postal early in 2012.  The other is my recipe blog. I was going to put my Mail Art on it but ended up using it for my…

Many of the IUOMA members are familiar with Christine; many were friends of hers both off and online. For those of you who are new to IUOMA and did not know who she was, she was a member of IUOMA, a believer in Fluxus, and a talented artist and teacher. She was also an avid gardener, and for those of you who want to find a way to remember her, my suggestion is that you plant a plant in her memory in the springtime. She would appreciate that. It can be a vegetable, shrub or tree - perhaps…

Thank you, Carina for the way cool postcard!!
