Yesterday, I received a wonderful MinIMal mail-artcard from MIM http://mim4art.blogspot.com.
There have been a lot of coincidences with MIM.
Some days ago, looking again on the web to "other" mail-artists, I "came upon" MIM. I both liked very much her mail-art work and her blog, the way she presents herself, her activities, her way of looking to things and of making them into her JOYful daily LIFE! I recognised "things" of myself, but of course, as always, with the differences that make it so fascinating to meet other people!
Having made a card that I liked a lot and that had not yet a particular addressee, I decided to send it to MIM!
Then, I joined IUOMA. And who was the person who presented me with a WARM WELLCOMing Word? MIM! She proposed to be friends on IUOMA. And —given my enthusiastic reaction to her MinIMal Mail Art, she said that she was going to send me one of her minimal Mail Art pieces!
So, yesterday my SURPRISE was not complete, as I expected "one of these days" "something". It was nevertheless a WONDERFUL SURPRISE, because of the form of this Mail Art piece from MIM: a FRENCH dictionary page with, amongst other entries, "MESSAGERIE" combined with the head of VERMEER's GIRL with a Pearl Earring: a nice choice for the Dutch woman living in France and practicing mail art :)
And MINIMAL it is: as MIM qualifies it: "2 bits, 3 dots"!
The address
side of the card is rather non minimal —even if it is neither baroque!
Many personal stamps, various pieces of couloured paper, tape, postage
stamps.
What I ALSO like here is the COMBINATION of MINIMAL and "lots of little things"!
SO THANKS ONCE AGAIN, MIM!
What a surprise for me to see how many connections you found. I made this card without a recipient, too, and then saw that it was perfect for you. So glad you like it. See you in the mail.
