Limner Mail Art #24, "Artists, Poets & Writers"

2012-02-25T06:09:00.001Z

Limner Mail Art#24, "Artists, Poets & Writers" *My ~~little note~~ postcard nod to the game changers. All those little "subscribe" inserts that pollute magazines are great for mail art, just as you said, Patty. The quote might be from "Garden & Gun," or possibly "Texas Highways." I forget.

How dare they leave us out? Well, they're a 'zine for, you got it . . . poets n writers. I wonder how tall the stack would be if I glued together all the inserts I get in a year? Write on!

Oh the pitfalls of using American words. My children can't bear it when I use the English version as they say it sounds wrong. Can't win! I think I use sweater but I probably alternate. 'J' is for JUMPER not sweater.

Limner Mail Art #23, "The Girlfriend Bling Club"

2012-02-24T05:36:00.000Z

Limner Mail Art #23, "The Girlfriend Bling Club." An envie for Member #4 of "The Girlfriend Bling Club." I have 4 young pen friends across the country. Of course only one knows how to write now, but still . . . The club members are 3 young girls, so I started a bling club to foster an interest in mail, and I want them to become mail friends, eventually. Hopefully they will draw pictures for each other until then. Their parents can help with the hard parts like addressing envies, but they can affix the postage, right? I loved it when my mom read the "hellos" and "be good and study" comments relatives addressed to me in their letters. It meant they were thinking of me. It was the beginning of my letter-writing life.

One of the first places Patrick took me walking was Uffington to see the white horse. England had had those terrible storms that year and many trees had blown down and I rememember seeing those ancient trees uprooted as we approached the white horse. It is difficult to imagine that the horse has been dated at 3,000 years old and some of the oaks were probably around in the medieval times. It's all about history here. 'W' is for the white horse!

151 - Thanks for the bananas Erni!

2012-02-21T23:03:00.001Z

This Add and Pass is for Erni Bear who sent us some 2 week old bananas and dubious food products in a HUGE box to keep us fueled for mailart creation in Paris

2012-02-21T23:02:00.001Z

The 2nd Parisian Add and Pass I made this trip from cut out and collage pieces laying around on Mims table and completed by Me, Dean, Mim, Scott and Elena. Gotta love REAL life add and pass!

149 - Chilean street scene

2012-02-21T23:00:00.002Z

Also made in Paris, this one was based on a photo sent to me by Kyle Hepp a photographer based in Chile. Sadly I couldn't find ~~his~~ her address so I sent it to someone else

148 - Is my tie straight?

2012-02-21T22:59:00.001Z

This was a REAL add and pass, the first piece I made with the collected maialrt talent that gathered in Paris this weekend!

Elena and I went over to Paris with Positively Postal, where we met up with fellow mailartists Mim and Dean Marks.

I had been well and truly stuck at #146 for months and this was the first piece I made for ages. I put together the snowman and tie and passed the piece on because I felt that someone else could finish it, and thus began the REAL Add and Pass.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of add and pass mailart, but when you get a bunch of creatives in a room as we had that day Add and Pass is such a natural mailart process!

Limner's Mail Art #21/365, "Sexy Back"

2012-02-21T22:38:00.002Z

Limner's Mail Art #21, "Sexy Back" *I like the back of an envie as much as I like the front. I don't discriminate at all. I'll write the address on the back, tart up the front and call it a day. Here, I used three of my photos that are printed on Epson Presentation Paper to add a bit of punch. The rest is paper and plastic tape, a few sticky alphabet and stickers . . . I created it when I watched the Lakers win last night.

Who doesn't enjoy a great story? So, I've been adding bits of stories to the backs. Then I decided I'd tell a short story. In installments. You can't beat that idea with a stick. Later on I can say, "I've had some of my stories published by the USPS." And I won't be lying.

Not always feeling creative on the fly? Recycle the same ~~lie~~ tale. Just alter it here and there. Make it worth the read. And edit first. Always edit. LOL. Do as I say, not as I do. Gee, ain't mail art fun?

Write on!

Back from Paris now where I/we had a fantastic time and this is the first of 8 pieces I made on Sunday (19th) afternoon in Mim & Chuck's studio there - was great to just sit, make mailart with other like-minded people(Andy, Elena, Dean, Mim) using different source material including some from a huge package sent in by Erni-Bar! Next seven pieces to be posted over the next seven days then I'll be even nearer to the 365 target and got to think where to go to next to do some more mailart!

But there wouldn't be a stamp without an artist. Witness?
