Stamp help, please
10.3.2010 von admin.
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

Long Time No Mail
10.12.2009 von admin.
After such a long time being in a state of artistic zombieness I finished a card going out to Roland. Check his great Bismarck Mail Art Call.
(detail)
Update: You can see the card on Roland’s blog.

It is B-Day

Today post from Roland “Bismarck” Halbritter reached me. Next to the great decorated envelope
(funny: it seems that the post man couldn’t decide which stamp to stamp - so they didn’t stamp none)
I found a nice artistbooklet with multiples inside:
Thank you so much!

Bismarck call from Roland
17.7.2009 von admin.
For quite a while I was too busy for mail art. But here we go again.
After his exciting call for mail on Andreas Hofer with so many great contributions (there are still cards arriving!) Roland started a new call: Otto von Bismarck, one of the well-known German politicians and a very interesting ambiguious charakter. Great to know that there will be an exhibition!
My collage cards arrived:
(Der Lotse geht von Bord)
(Der Laotse geht von Bord)

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

Still IUOMA - no more NING
1.2.2009 von admin.
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!)
No more page on International Union of Mail-Artists NING

Cats arrived :-)

Inspired by a package of matches Roland sent to me a while ago, he was for good reason the first to get my new cat stamp creation
