Goodbye Angie

[Karen Champlin]

Last Saturday Angie Cope shut down her site and left us. It was a long time coming. I really liked Angie a lot. She was there for everybody. She participated in conversations. She was very funny. I enjoyed her art and her as a human being. Angie sent me a long email after she left. She didn't feel IOUMA was right for her. She also said at times she was treated less than nice. She didn't feel like enough of an artist for us. All so sad to me. She's on a Ning site she feels more suited for. So good for you Angie. Man I'll miss her.....and Snookie. I'll also think about how inclusive I am to this FAMILY of artists.

Really?!?? I'm so sad! Angie was such a joyful, wonderful spirit! I am completely deflated. Defeated and deflated. And Snooky! My corgi muse! How terribly sad to lose Angie.

That's too bad. I liked her carved stamp.

I'm sorry to hear this. There are times when people aren't nice, that's for sure, so I understand that part of it. The thing is, there are tons of people who are - or who don't bother one way or another. I have developed a thicker skin through participating in mail art over the decades, I think, and that's a good thing! One's art is always good enough, IMHO. We are not a gallery nor are we art critics. The thing I love most about mail art is that art is in the eye of the beholder and of the maker, where it out to be. Anyway, I hope she enjoys herself wherever she is.
