Outgoing to Nico van Hoorn – Netherlands

2016-10-01-09-13-43

Nico van Hoorn wrote me a letter last summer 2016 that he will stop with mail-art now. That is always a choice, just not to send out letters anymore. But somehow I wanted to answer him with a letter, so maybe also a last letter to him? Not sure. As long as the P.O. Box is open we are able to send. Will communicate with him through Facebook probably. Nico always makes such fantastic photos.

New cow rubberstamp from Helleen de Vaan – Netherlands

2016-09-01 15.21.00 2016-09-01 15.21.14 2016-09-01 15.21.22 2016-09-02 12.27.23 2016-09-02 12.27.27

In the summer I was abroad for a few weeks, and when I returned I found some very nice pieces of mail-art at the P.O. Box. Two of them came from Heleen de Vaan (Netherlands). One of them contained an original new COW rubberstamp that Heleen has designed and made rubberstamps out. One for herself, and (lucky me) one for the TAM Rubberstamp Archive. I already printed the stamp a few times, and it looks wonderful. The names this time typically connected to Heleen’s network, and that is what the COW stamp is all about. Will use it with pleasure and will see how i can come up with another surprise for Heleen in return.
