The Echigo-tsumari catalogue arrived this morning. My family is represented and lots of IUOMA members. How wonderful they were able to create a physical catalogue for us. I would have been surprised but our Son-in-law (Chihiro Ito) told me last night the he received one. As always, the exhibition shows how universal human expressions for peace and community are,& how we are all one. …

Dear artists,

creative workshop BurliukLoft (Ukraine) invites you to take part in the mail-art project Peace in Ukraine. In the Eastern Ukraine there is still a war with Russian invaders. We would like to talk about peace in the language of art to attract attention to…

Wishing all of my friends a Happy New Year! Thanks to all of you who sent Christmas cards, I really enjoy getting them! I will try to get online and scan in the work that you've been sending soon after the Christmas holidays. Take care, enjoy one another's company and spread the peace! -- Warm regards, liketelevisionsnow

I don't celebrate Christmas, but it's a good time to connect with the season of good cheer, goodwill, thoughts for a peaceful world, and so I'm getting ready with some Mail Art.

'All this' and more from sir erniness. 'You Who' is an old expression used when trying to get someone's attention. Is this a brand name in Hamburg? Thanks Erni. At peace now. 

A beautiful-in-every-way card from Stephen:  Uniquely and artfully done, and this peace piece has a wonderful sturdy feel to it, with myriad textures. Thank you again,…

I unfolded one of the peace cranes that Katerina had made for the Peace Crane Project and made a whimsical collage for her ... all smurfy and cosmic-like! Hope you enjoy Katerina!

A very large box with a GAGGLE of PEACE CRANES landed the other day. Thank you very very…

Hi everyone, first off I'd like to thank all of the IUOMA artists who were kind enough to send mailart to me this past year. I very much appreciated receiving all of the exceptional work that was made.  Hope to see more of your work in my mailbox as I hope to send out work to you as well.

A big thank you to all of the artists who contributed time, effort and their work to the Peace Crane and 12-12-12- End of the World Projects.  Both have been a big success artistically, and it's been…

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

Our local library is sponsoring an event for people to come together to make and string cranes for this project. You can still make peace cranes because we still need about 400 more!

Received this amazing pencil on paper drawing from Jaromir Svozilik of Norway!

Recently received 4 ink drawings in which a Peace Crane was added from Dimitris Karlaftopoulos of Greece.  I'll post the other drawings soon!

The response to the Peace Crane Project has been fantastic!  As of today, I have received several dozen peace cranes and more are on the way.  People have been very enthusiastic and their peace cranes are beautiful.  I'm sure that the spirit that went into making them will be felt by people in Japan when I send them.  Thanks to all!  If you are interested in making peace cranes for this project, go to the Peace Crane Group here at IUOMA…

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.

They're very easy to make and you can find instructions on how to do so from dozens of websites. If you can't find instructions, send me a message here and I'll give you a copy of…
