mailart @ kulturnation

Alomost two years ago I sent two cards for Roland’s Bismarck call. And saw them just in a TV clip! I will really try to go to Bad Kissingen to see the great show Roland curated!

My first stamp I ordered has a little problem: The rubber in the inside seems to be to high and so the stamp shows a gray / black field instead of a white. I wonder if I can cut away the rubber with a cutter knife. Or will the small border than be to instable? Thanks for any hint.

UPDATE: I got help from Jean and nordbaer and gave the stamp a 2nd chance, stamping with very little pressure: It seems when I use very soft paper and some more ink it works. But I also learned not to use too small fonts and too tiny lines 🙂

A fantastic card from Nancy Scali can be seen on Roland’s Hofer-Blog.

OMG: almost 800 videos to be found on YouTube when entering MAILART !

Seems, i am not a „clubman“. Remebering Groucho Marx and his word about membership, i will join the Groucho-Marx-fan club immediately 🙂 There are some newsgroups or mailing lists, i really like. But for me that Ning group is just too crowded. (But, of course, I appreciate Ruud’s work and enthusiasm!)

Showing a German phrase, saying „postcards instead of e-mail“. Printed on normal paper I will cut it out with a special pair of scissors imitating the stamp perfs. I will also pimp the white space with different stamp motifs.

George Brecht, the great fluxus-artist died last Friday.

R.I.P.

I enjoyed the exhibition in Museum Ludwig ((a German mp3 audioguide file on G.B. ))
