Stamps for mail-art

Since I'm back into Mail-art I want to sign every card or envelop with my own stamps...this one will return on all my things I'll send out into the world. Carving time! :)

Sending art to the world

My class and me

Gato mail-art

After soooo many years I started playing with papers and cards and designed this mail-art. This one is going to Carolyn in South Africa. My first visit to that country ...transformed in a card :)

Making mail-art is the best solution to survive the dark evenings that are making our days so sad by times.
I'm excited to throw it into the world...here you go sweety...fly!

Mail-art with kids

I'm very busy to find for every kid in the two academies where I'm teaching a good address. I'm taking them into the world of Mail-art. They prepared a postcard with their self-made stamp and a design on the other side about the house where they are living...their place. The mail-artist who will receive the card will add his/her house/place onto the card and send them back to the kid. So I can start planning a little international expo with all the results of this mini-project.
I'm sure of one thing, the kids are loving it and some cards already arrived somewhere on this planet and those artists are loving it too already!!! Only fun and happy people over the globe!

THANKS to all my IUOMA - friends, The international union of mail-artists

Sinds twee weken ben ik druk bezig met de organisatie van een mini-project op de twee academies waar ik lesgeef. Ik heb de leerlingen meegesleurd in een nieuwe wereld...deze van de mail-art of Kunst per post. Zij hebben hun kaart klaargestoomd met een afbeelding/collage/ reliëf van hun huis/omgeving en de bedoeling is dat de mail-art kunstenaars verspreid over deze bol een verbeelding maken van hun omgeving/woonplaats en deze kaart dan terugsturen naar de kinderen. Beide partijen zijn voorlopig razend enthousiast over dit hele heen-en weer gepost...zegels plakken, onbekende adressen in verre landen...zo spannend!
We wachten af vol ongeduld!

Mail!

Received today!
This postcard from the Canadian Kiera Panell.
I'm sooo happy cause it arrived on the perfect moment. Since more then a year I signed up on the International Union of Mail artists...and I realize that I still didn' t took any action in it although I love this kind of art-making!!! Anyone who wants to try this, join in this community and start creating and sending around the world!
Kiera,thank you to remember me finally that time has come! You can expect something my dear! :)
