The International Union of Mail-Artists is where the IUOMA stands for, but actually it is one of the aspects of the Mail-Art that Ruud Janssen has produced in the last 46 years. A lot has been written by him in this period and in his BLOG he writes about the most recent views and thoughts. For Snail-Mail write to: iuoma@outlook.com
I would love to have the card! :-) Why? Well, I'm a newbie, so my MailArt collection is very very tiny at the moment and needs some help. And I'm a new member of IUOMA. And I've just established my own "postal authority" - PCIPO (Pine Cone Island Post Office), so hey, why not me? :-) Besides, it's gorgeous and it's by Ruud!!! And if I'm not chosen, that's Ok. At least I got a chance! -Susan in VA
thank you for the informative and deep (as in - not just accidental), and linky blog. i've linked to you as a reference on my new art blog: new-art.blogspot.com
O.K. Jonathan, You convinced me. Now I only need the address of Susan in VA. If she could e-mail me her address I can send the card on its way. Funny to see that the first card got 7 reactions. The 2nd card got zero reactions.....
Ruud
p.s. For Chris. What the card costs? I am not selling. Actually the one who receives it gets it as a presant. I am even paying for the postage and the receiver isn't obliged to answer at all. Typical Mail-Art.....
Oh, Ruud, thankyouthankyou! And thank you, Jonathan, for nominating me! :-) Yes, I'm that same Susan in VA who wouldn't publish her home address - - but who now has a PO Box to go with her postal identity! Emails to Ruud and Jonathan to follow!
Thank you from the bottom of my pea-pickin' newbie heart!!! :-) Susan in VA aka: Postmistress, PCIPO
YAY! My card arrived, Ruud! It's even more wonderful in person! :-) And I got it even though you sent it to "Alice in VA". [giggle] But I guess since there's a "Town Like Alice", maybe there's a "Susan Like Alice"! Thanks again, Ruud! - Susan in VA PCIPO Postmistress p.s. Pati - they *do* look like bean seedlings!
glad to know the postal system still works. Even with painted cards. Sometimes I think postal workers make temporary exhibitions at the postal offices and therefore delay my mail.....
