Claire (aka Cleo)'s Blog (34)

 This marvelous MA was sent to me from "Archives of the Eternal Network" in Sante Fe, NM ( I think that's what it says - hard to read). I want to thank the sender & respond, but I've no idea who sent it. Can anyone help? Thanks beforehand!



(Hmm - I'm thinking maybe Cecil…

It's that time of year again... (yes, card utterly different than last years...)…

Too too excited not to share this marvel!

("Timber" - ha ha ha! %_^)

I will just quote some of the text of the "thank you" letter I wrote Vizma:

"I feel like I should be addressing you as "lover-girl" instead of "greedy wench!" I received…

If anyone can help me figure out what country this stamp is from, I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thanks beforehand!

but I just unearthed and posted this old article on my metalwork if any one's interested...

In March, I Finally arrived at my new home. Greeting me was a deliciously enormous pile of MA.

I will scan it all, but it would take far too much time to blog it all (and I need the time to set up a damned studio - I am going maaaad without one!!!!)   Aaaaanyway, I shall be blogging a few of the pieces, and the first shall be that of Vizma. As I have…

Recieved this neat collage (from Ohio) yesterday, but I've no idea who sent it... Any ideas anyone...?…

Such a wonder they are! Thank you SO very much…

Received this great ma drawing & lore this week,

yet have no idea who Dave is... Anyone else know who I should reply to/thank?

Whoever you are Dave, my big-time laughter and…

Are these cool or what?!…

I received these packages from Svenja quite some time ago... The 1st at the end of September

The scan doesn't do the collage justice I'm afraid - it is covered with vellum. I can't say enough how much I love this collage! It is in a frame above my desk…

I'm very far behind in blogging, too too busy, but I will try slowly...

This received this funfun & beauty from Katerina in October

I was invited, and am so very tempted, but I've not yet found myself capable of performing the "Re Cycle Re Use…

received this with no name, explanation, return address or postmark to help me deduce...

anyone...?

I came upon Jean-Pierre's work while surfing the web and was immediately enthralled...Now the search was on to find an address...Eventually I did (via Guido maybe?). Aaaanyway, I sent him something with a note expressing my admiration of his work, and soon came this exceptionally beautiful wonder:…

Received this great card recently

Superb and thought provoking... Strange, light and (possible...?) dark - a bit uncomfortably beautiful... Itchy - yum! Thank you thank you…

This is an interesting ma exchange...a first for me. I sent him a card in Oct. at De Villo's mention of his opinions regarding MinXus & rats. I received this in return:

I love this piece! Nonetheless, the exchange is an odd one to me because we have…

Nancy's work was some of the first I noticed when I joined iuoma. As I said to her long ago, something about her particular creative voice has a rather untoward sonority for me... Color often speaks to me more eloquently than any other element of the visual, and her mastery...

it simply takes my breath away..... Her work speaks much more than colour to me of…

Such a joy to find this gorgeous envelope in my box...and the beauty inside! Also, my kind friend enclosed some primo papers & ephemera...

Back of the wonderful collage & envelope, plus note:

and some of the ephemera:…

I received the asemic book below in July - rather "out-of-the-blue," as it were... Christopher had just joined IUOMA and I didn't know his work yet. Needless to say, my mind was quite blown by this m.a. - the beauty of the artist's design of course, but the fecund imagination which thought of and created this piece - it was an exceptional one indeed!…
