I finally got round to reading your Flood Art article that you kindly sent me. I like it, and your approach to life. You managed to turn a disaster -- how sad it must have been to loose all that 'stuff' -- into a Mail Art achievement, and, in so doing, creating a new genre. I am sure that future Mail Art historians will forever link Flood Art and Christine Jones together.
I, too, had a 365 project a couple of years ago. I mailed myself a different envelope every day for a year (and then exhibited them a couple of times). If you go to my web-site www.val-herman-art.eu, and then Envelope Art (on the left hand side), and then Envelope a Day, you'll see the project. The Introductory text is probably more interesting than the 365 ernvelopes that follow!
I look fowrard to receive it, and to be enlightened about 'Flood Art'. We have lots of art here, but no floods as things are pretty dry...but not as dry as your great outback.
Hey Chris, glad they arrived, still weird the first one was returned. I altered the photo for the snow monkeys with a little bit of spray on bleach. The monkeys were then collaged on to the photo. It probably does have the look of your flood photos!
Hi Chris - thank you ! Not sure what do with myself now I have 365ed... Still have quite a few to post though - and you are we'll on the way to the magic number too : > )
Christine, I had mailart returned " return to sender" that I send to you. I sent it to the address that is listed above, is that still current? Please let me know so I can resend it. Thanks, Laura
Hi Chris! Just letting you know that I posted you an Add and Pass today...a boekie that's going around, so don't get too excited cos you have to pass it on,...when you're ready! I had it for about a fortnight.
Man, it's boiling today.

Yay Trash! Glad it got there...it's actually the very same envo that you sent me yonks ago, your 1st mail to me, of the flooded imagery. It didn't get stamped and I thought I'd see if it'd get back to you! And it did. Yay, freemail!
Glad the floods aren't near you, and the fires aren't near me either. A very lucky summer so far. AND no snake bites!!
We do hope to be getting out of the UK by September, but I'll keep you posted. :-) It may be a while but I'm aiming to get to Oz as I've wanted to take Elena there for a while

Glad you like the foot down, it was just a little mail to keep in touch. So funny about your husband being right for once!!!! HA!! So WHERE did you go North with your mates? And why would you think it's the last time you'll be doing the trip? You're still a young chook!

Hi!

Thanks again, and best wishes,

Thank you/Merci.

Strange! I'll resend it this week!

Sure, Christine! Let's exchange!
I know western Ohio is pretty flat--it's a bit less rural and more rust-belty here. Have a good day!
