Recycled mail to Nico Arrived in Nijmegen



And still the postage stamps aren't cancelled. Maybe Nico can give the enveloppe a new journey? Recycling is quite a funny thing to do in mail-art.

Mail from Mischa Gerloff


Mischa Gerloff writes:
On Nov. 27, 2007 I sent you a small letter (see below) with a card (Greetings from Saigon), hoping that you will invite me to http://mailartdiscussion.blogspot.com/ . May be, the letter didn't reach you. May be, you didn't like it at all :-)
Sadly enough the card never reached me. Mischa sent me an e-mail to show me the envelope which I now publish her.

Working with Vista


Working with MS Vista is fun. The interface is working quite well, but it only works when your computer is up-to-date enough (memory and capacity). Now the scanning of images is working better and I have access to all those digital images in a visual attractive way.....

Mail to Nico - Netherlands


In the Netherlands the postage rate for mail is in December always very low because of the christmas stamps. Sending an envelope of 50 gram only costs 29 cents. That is why I like to send out that much in December as well......

Mail from Massimo Medola - Italy


Envelope from Massimo Medola in Bologna, Italy. He returns another stampsheet for the TAM Rubberstamp Archive. Thank you!

Mail from D.C. Spaulding - USA


Another card from D.C. Spaulding arrived today. I saw it on some more blogs, so it seems the card is spread in great numbers over the mail-art network. Alsways funny to see these old traces of mail-art on new cards. Back to the line for today: recycling.

Mail to Nico - Netherlands


Since the postage on the envelope by Nico van Hoorn wasn't used, I recycled the envelope back to Nico. This is how it looked like. I added the rubberstamps and the stickers and off course changed the senders-address....

Roland dot Ruud


On http://fluxlisteurope.blogspot.com Roland Halbritter has a text that he changes every time someone leaves a comment. I wrote a comment that I liked the blue dots, and this is what it caused. It isn't mail-art but Fluxus for sure....

Mail to Michel Della Vedova - France


Trying to catch up with sending mail out again. That isn't easy because there are so many other things to do. This enveloppe goes fro Michel in France. He probably doesn't read this blog so it is safe to publish this allready. I strted a new blog a month ago, but keep this low profile. If you know how to find blogs, you will find this one too....

Mail from R.F. Coté - Canada




Mail from R.F. Coté in Canada. I love these kind of stuctures on a card, so you can understand I likes this mailing a lot. Some ink on the paper hides my address. But the Postal Office doesn't have a problem with that and sefely brought the card to my P.O. Box. Thanks.

Mail from Hotel Dada - Argentina





HOTEL dADA in Argentina organised a special event in Memory of Edgardo Antonio Vigo. Just before his death I interview Edgardo. I have been in contact with him since the beginning of the 80-ies. The interview was published in the magazine they produced in the original language (English) ans a Spanish translation. Anslo other very informative articles were included about Edgardo. It is good to see that he is remembered this way.
