Sometimes I create a piece of Mail Art and I know instantly who to send it to but most of the time I can't decide who to send it to.  Who will like it?  Want it?  There are times when I am just tempted to post it up and have the first person go "Me Me Me."  But where is the surprise of that?

Any suggestions?

Hmmmmm, Nikoya...see? You just make and make and send and send...surprise us! And we, in turn, will make and send something to you. And if it is light and peaceful and optimistic...and also dark* humor, well, then you can surely send it to me, me, me!

* if really "dark", bizarre, or scary zombies, skulls, etc...then by all means, DEAN, send it to dear Vizma! :-)

How far is too far? The further the better if you ask me.

But what is bizarre?  How far is too far?  I like everything really.  I'm pretty much into twisted humor but art can be everything for me to find enjoyment; unless it is Thomas Kincaid then I just want to take scissors to it and change into my ideas of should be in the paintings.

Scary! I like the sound of that, Dean...I sent you something yesterday, and you probably will be scared when you open it!!

Arac does like the bizarre stuff, she's a nutcase...but I"M nutcasier than her!!!

Perhaps we all are.. "Mixed bag of nutcases" group, Arac??

Sign me up for the weird stuff, too.

I never know what I'm going to do from one piece to the next.  Sometimes it is light and flowers, zentangling, wire, crayons with lots of scissors.  I will definitely keep you all in mind when I do my next piece which will probably be done by tomorrow or the next day.

Thank You; all of your post always make me smile

If you find yourself with a finished piece so dark, twisted, strange or bizarre that you are unsure who to send it to, you should absolutely send it to me...I always appreciate the weird stuff ;)

I like surprises, so no Me Me Me from Me.  I like when I am making something with a person in mind and then at the last minute I add something, and it take on a whole new meaning, and I end up sending it someone else.  That's fun and a real surprise for me.  Or what I have now is a piece I have been working on little by little for months.  It's for Katerina, but now that it is finished, it's scary and I don't think she will like it.  What should I do then?  You're right, I should send it to Vizma!  Thank you for your help.
