Arte Postale twice as fun!…

Yes, the install is going well. Posters and large decal printed - the window in library looks good. As does the cabinets although some are rather tall and not really suited to small flat works. 

A wonderful stamped card from Angelica.

Discovering mail art from months gone by :-)

Very interesting cards from Seattle,…

Long ago this arrived, but here's the blog,

my, oh, my, I have really slowed down :-) !!!

Lovely collage card:…

stamps from Mark Valentine and Thom Courcelle.

Bruce Grenville sent so many sheets, stamps, first day covers, announcements of issues and heaven knows what else that I don't realy know where to start.  Mark Valentine sent an explanation in a booklet.  I may soon need a bigger suitcase!…

Sorting through the pile of welcome mailart, I find several clusters of artistamps, and it occurs to me that this might be a good time to introduce my Artistamp Projection.

Some years ago, a chum gave me an old spring-back stamp album and I decided to use it for all the artistamps I had accumulated.  the idea (I call it a projection because it is part art project and part stamp collection) now lives in a small suitcase and includes four albums, stockbooks, bundles of envelopes,…

Several years ago I started a little project for no real reason except the fun of it, then I became ill and it got put by.  Luckily it had not been very popular but I have felt guilty about not having finished things off and sent the promised documentation.

Well, being more or less back now I decided that my first job was to bring the project to some sort of end.  this time round I have had more interest and it seems that, now I have the required ten stamps, I can get on with my part…

I'm certain that every one involved with this eternal network has their own way of doing things; that is one of the great joys of the thing. 

I have been busy for the last month doing acres (so it seems) of collage and dozens of envelopes so incoming mail has been largely put by until a more auspicious time.  Today was the day and I have just spent a delightful hour as a sort of island in a sea of post!  Wonder after wonder; generosity piled upon generosity! 

My September is…

The USA premier!

And a few more fun packets from Joel Cohen, this from SanFran :-)

What fun! FAB mail art omens...

see those little color papers? Future mail art :-)

and lots of stickers!…
