My Desktop


The computer I work on today has this DeskTop. Yes, a windows-machine and lots of software on it. But also as background one of the painted acryl cards that I have produced over the years.

1000th posting

Yes, it is finally that far. This is the 1000th posting on my IUOMA-blog. More to follow for sure, but it is already quite a list (including visuals) I produced here. Funny enough the amount of visitors decreased. The number of blogs one can gro through has increased so much that everybody is blogging and no-one has the time to read it all.....

Image of the blog


For the Archiving of this blog I thought out a special construction. Each month I make a PDF-file of the contributions I made and place them on http://www.iuoma.org , The same I do for more blogs. To put besides the list I made this image.

Sunny Warrior Card


A new card got ready and will find its way into the network. Maybe it will pop up in one of those blogs of a mail-artist I know.....

Technorati Blog Info update 29-9-2007

Mail to Roland Halbritter - Germany


This envelope goes to Roland Halbritter. He has been helping me a lot with distributing the stampsheets for the TAM Rubberstamp Archive and I want to send his the special sheets as well. Also I included a contribution for his: http://andreas-hofer.blogspot.com/ project. I hope he likes the content (won't publish it here so it stays a surprise).

On the envelpe I drew a few socks, so he will open the envelope for sure. He like all that has to do with socks and publishes it on his blog: http://socks-stockings.blogspot.com/

Mail from Roberto Formigoni - Italy


Mail thanks to Roland Halbritter in Germany. He sent one of the stampsheets to his friend in Italy, and he returned it in this very coulorful envelope. It is from: Roberto Formigoni (Brescia -Italy), website : www.formiga39.it. Seems he is a gifted artist as well.... Will have to send him something back.

Street Sign


TAM Rubberstamp Archive


The TAM Rubberstamparchive is now 24 years old. I've made this small booklet to document it, and am sending this out the last months with some new stampsheets. I have now also made some new special stampsheets to be send out soon which are meant for the 25 years Celebration which will be held next year. It would be fun to exhibit the collection (a selection probably since there are 13.000+ sheets already that returned) somewhere...... I am investigating the possibilities.

Mail to J.N.P. Arrived

Mail to Frips arrived


This is one of the many envelopes that I've been sending out lately. They mostly contain stampsheets that I have been sending out again. Also because next year the TAM Rubberstamp Archive will be 25 years old. I will have to think about how to celebrate this. It might be the longest running mail-art project ever......

Sheets on their way


On the site by Frips I discoverd this sheet that has been sent by Anna Bossenbroek to her. Will be interesting to see if I will get the result.
