when you get really cool mail!

mail received from Guido Vermeulen, Jennie Hinchcliff, Diane Keys, Ryosuke Cohen, Fleur Helsingor, IGH/Private World

This is a wonderful piece that I found myself playing with for hours.  No scans or photos can give you an idea of what it is like and what it can do.  So I have decided to make a video of it to show you.  So watch this space on the 16th of May when I hope to have it finished.

Until then, here is a photo Marie also sent me.  You can see Marie in the shadow taking…

One of those familiar brown long envelopes from Japan arrived in Greece today.

Thank you Katerina for this card and the beautiful white peace cranes that you sent!

I don't know where she was referring to, but Osaka has no radiation. (I mean the natural one it does all around the planet though.) I feel sad my order might cancel from the false information. (-_-)

So I found the site to explain to the site representative and to her to tell her the…

I've thought of an idea that I'd like to share with fellow artists.  Perhaps each of us could make one origami "Peace Crane" which we could send to a contact person in Japan. There's a story that's told in Japan which says that if you make a thousand Peace Cranes, a person or persons will be healed.
