A sweet little card from Fleur Helsingor pointing me gently in the right direction. Thank you Fleur, I will follow the signs!

This card  by Guido took me by surprise -  I did not expect another mailing so soon! Both Britain and India are very close to my heart, so I really appreciate the tension and humour in this collage of Victorian ladies and Indian dancer . The card is appropriately called "Culture Shock". Makes me crack up up every time I look at…

I am pleased to say that I received a card from the Erni Bär Fanshop, and the shocking news from Hamburg that Erni is willing to act as an organ donor, donating his brain. This brightened up a gloomy November day in my…

A Jute-sack?  In my day we use to call them gunny sacks.  And a pick up wasn't a candy bar!  How things have changed in the art world!

Well when I was a child, we use to have a sack like this to store the potatoes.  So as a performance piece I ran out to the market and purchased some very nice potatoes.  I then put the potatoes in the sack, and that is where I…

Funny Halloween card from Alicia.  And yes, funny enough those chaps really do look like Erni & Val.  Toast?  Here's to you!   Hic up

Thank you very much Alicia. 

I was delighted to get another little boring, blank, white envelope from Suus. Inside a little colourful card from her and a wonderful surprise of a postcard project from Tofu The project involves a mail artist filling in a segment of the card. I was kindly given layer five to do - the last layer. It was a lot of fun and…

Wow, E has energy and application!  From the yellowed book page transformed into visual poetry to the stamps on the envelope with their tactile…

Border security must have thought this jolly looking package from Amsterdam contained some grass.

But it contained a cute little bilingual boekie from Suus in Mokum!!…

"I'm a human fly: and it's spelt f.l.y."

Thank you Kerosene *!*

Cheers to the French and US Postal peeps. Sent this sole/soul to E. It arrived with the custom form still in place.

Love this peculiar figure! It's printed on a nice graphic paper, great. Thank you Alicia!

First of all I would like to apologize for my absence in the MAIL ART world, but on the last months I was working in other Art projects. Soon i will start to send some pieces to some mail artists that…

CONDITIONS PARTICULIERES:

There are many wonderful layers to this piece of mail art. From the old original and mysterious documents to the…

Folks, I am happy to announce that Trash Bubbles are making a splash in the world!

When I first began creating these self-contained ecospheres of trash for my…

Many of you are aware that Life, as it is wont to do, really knocked me for a loop in recent months!

In order to scale back commitments and maintain what little sanity I had left, I am sad to say that I let my communications here at IUOMA wane.

It seems as though LIFE as I know it is returning to normal (just before the Holidays threaten to consume!) With that in mind, I am taking this opportunity to return virtual correspondence and send many thanks out to all who took the…

It came in through the bathroom window, protected by a silver spoon ...

"Stop that Music" is a photocopy of images & a music sheet which I found inside of a painted envelope entitled The Flower Arrangement.  The music sheet is of the Beatles song, "She came in through the bathroom window".  It is all part of the grand illusion of course.  And without smoke or mirrors!…

There is no returns or even refunds from Diane's leaf pattern prints.  And besides, you can't find something like this in the street or a shopping cart.  Very clever, and amusing.

Thank you for your new direction.

Mixed messages, but the first one I understand.

There must be some mistake ... You talking to me?

Thank…
