At 8:50am on April 14, 2011, Mail Art Martha said…: I like the super title but perhaps 'travelling' may look bad as it is already used in 'Travelling Toys' ? We can use roaming, touring, wandering, etc.
If we limit the interchange to the group members to start with it will only be us two so perhaps it can be open to all in IUOMA. They have to be members to join the group but of course it could be new members.
The parameters could be;
"Send a paper doll to your friends and ask them to keep it on the move, taking photos of the doll in location and uploading the photo/s on this site and then send the doll to another friend in this group or in IUOMA. The doll must fit easily in a standard A5 (23x15 cm) envelope."
This is as simple as I can make it. Please feel free to change it and also correct the grammar!!!
I wonder what are we getting ourselves into ...I may have to send my husband to work to pay for the post...

At 5:20pm on April 13, 2011, Mail Art Martha said…: I will have to summon up all my 'wisdom' ( many will not agree with your kind comment believe me!) but one thing is becoming clear in my mind: if we start a new group in IUOMA for the roaming doll, then individual artists will upload their photos or what have you and we just sit and admire their work, giving everybody plenty of feedback. That is becoming more and more attractive the more I think of it. We can put a call saying make your own doll and send it around,and please upload photos of your dolls. We make our own as example and send them to each other and put a photo in the group to start the ball, or doll in this case, rolling. How's about that?

At 11:44am on April 13, 2011, Mail Art Martha said…: oh please no excuses needed for thinking! yes perhaps it will be better to let others join in the fun. As to my ideas that you like so much, thanks but ... once I was told that ideas are a penny a dozen, the interesting thing is what one does with them. And right now I am rather confused as to what are we doing, apart from talking that is!

At 6:45pm on April 12, 2011, Mail Art Martha said…: i forgot to mention that I am thinking of only one doll doing the rounds of the community of Mail Artists. I wonder what you think of this.

At 6:42pm on April 12, 2011, Mail Art Martha said…: Hi sorry for the delay, very busy with other things but also
I wanted to give the doll a good deal of thought. What do you think of a paper
doll with a pocket/bag/envelope in which a small piece of Mail Art can be
slotted? The persons who receive the doll keep the art and replace it with one
of their own, artist trading card or stamps as they are small enough. The doll can
be anything, a postman perhaps? And no bigger than A5. What about starting a
group so when people receive the doll they photograph it and put the photo in
before sending it on its way?

At 5:40am on April 12, 2011, Valentine Mark Herman said…: Bonjour! Your comment has probably gone the same way as your missive to France. (What is it about the Possum's communications that they get lost all the time?) I've added your name to the mailing list, so you are IN the project. If your comment was important, I suggest you send it four more times (making 5 in all). Or not. Regards, Val

At 3:42am on April 12, 2011, Laurence Roberts said…: oh THANK you ! much apprecaited (though tbh I think the computer screen somehow improves it ! :) Don't tell no one !

At 7:16pm on April 8, 2011, Mail Art Martha said…: Forgot to say I love your blog, and very nice of you to give freebies to everybody.

At 7:15pm on April 8, 2011, Mail Art Martha said…: I was all set to send you a doll, once it is made, and realize there is no snail mail address available. i shall take a photo and send that to you instead in a few days.

At 7:00pm on April 7, 2011, Mail Art Martha said…: yes! great fun! paper dolls it is. Postcard size? Self assembly or ready made? I am inclined to leave all the details to each artist. Main requirement, to be light and easy to pack flat. What do you think?

At 5:51pm on April 7, 2011, Mail Art Martha said…: Woth all my heart.( methink is time woth dropped the inverted commas, what do you think?)

At 4:26pm on April 6, 2011, stan askew said…: hi rose ... mystery solved. my web tech is working on a new version of my site ... a much needed update. what we are seeing is the system he is using for that purpose. not sure when he will complete the new, improved photoaskew.com, but will let you know when the site is up and available for viewing.

breathing a sigh of relief out here in pasadena,

At 4:42am on April 6, 2011, stan askew said…: well rose, you are absolutely right. i've no idea how that occurred or how to change it. haven't a clue what site sculptor is or how it managed to interface with my website. will definitely try to figure it out. thanks for trying to visit the site.
