Special blog for the Pink-Red-Orange-Yellow sendings

wimpletproy.blogspot.fr is the blog on which I publish the mail art sendings in reply to my call for Pink-Red-Orange-Yellow.

"A day like this" for artever

The Portuguese Grupo de Artes Plásticas da Amadora (close to Lisbon, Portugal) asked for mail-art on the theme "A day like this" (http://mailart-artever.blogspot.pt/). I sent them "A day like this walking through Paris", visiting, in particular, the Rue de Lisbonne!

A mixture of papercuttings for Carroll Woods

... and this A&A-card was of course for Luís!

An A&A-card for Mimi!

Paris and Richmond for Mim

Winnie the Pooh falls out of the Boddhi tree...

For Julia's 20th birthday!

Collage photo card from Jocelyne Sicard

Beginnings of September, I made a sending for Jocelyne Sicard, around one of her themes, that is, "doors". The photo of the woman I used for the envelope came from an article in a "women magazine", around the theme of separation, so I pasted on the backside of the envelope a subtitle of the paper, "recover from a break-up" ("guérir d'une rupture")

On the card I wrote to Jocelyne I pasted a little, blue rather typical Tunisian door.













Jocelyne sent me a beautiful card made out of a collage into a photo. I find it rather intriguing, difficult to describe what makes it so for me...

A new "mannetje" from arttower!

After his "head", arttower now sent me a little "mannetje" (I don't know how to call him in English...), smiling and with a big heart, ?but? surrounded by mouses—or "even" rats!— going up and going down.

FIRST mail-art recieved for my Pink-Red-Orange-Yellow project!

When I came home last Tuesday (after some days in Oldenburg), I found FOUR mail-art sendings: from Laurence Gillot, Jocelyne Sicard, G.arttower Schwind, and THIS FIRST mail-art sending for my Pink-Red-Orange-Yellow project! (it will also go to wimpletproy.blogspot.fr, the special blog created for the sendings in reply to this call).

Roland Halbritter sent me his "Greetings from the Pink Correspondence School". I was so surprised: Roland recieved, in 2007, what I qualified as my "first sending of mail-art to a 'foreigner'". At that time, Roland was still collecting socks and stockings (http://wimplet.blogspot.fr/2007/03/first-sending-of-mailart-to-foreigner.html) 

Mail-art to & from Laurence!

After two sendings to her (grand)mother, I sent a mail-art to Laurence Gillot (http://lo-post.tumblr.com/). She asked for "embarcations" (boats) or "vol"/"envol" (flight), but I could send her only a landing (ATTERRISSAGE)... 
It is not the first time that I am slightly off beam with Laurence. For her (grand)mother, Eliane Moine, she asked for "fishes", and —at first— I could only find BLUE... (later on, happily, I could make up for it in a 2nd sending) ("Wanting to send fishes to 'Granny Eliane'" - 10/10/12)...

Laurence sent me a wonderful, poetic card in an envelope from the same "family" as the letter I sent her: we seem both "inspired" by the exercise-book paper used by schoolchildren.
