Sagas of my writing life

I’m sorry!

I’m sorry, I haven’t been posting much nor writing letters – the reason is, I have been very busy workwise. I apologize.

Where are the European creative mailers?

Saga-of-writing — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 12:01:02 +0000

Just wondering: No mail artists in Europe? They have to exist, I just don’t believe noone’s interested in artistic mail??? Come on, sign in!

Great mail received

Saga-of-writing — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:06:45 +0000

Hehe, today I picked up 2 wonderful pieces of mail, I will get photos as soon as possible. Funny enough, this arrives in perfect timing, since I just finished some writing projects/tasks/whatever you call it – so it will be a pleasure to write letters and be creative with my hands, decorating!

So here are my pictures – sorry they are not the clearest, hope to do better in the future.

Ideas for mail art

Saga-of-writing — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:57:06 +0000

In the past weeks or so, I have read many blogs and seen a lot of great ideas for mail art. So what could one do? Decorate envelopes, make envelopes eg. out of old catalogues, decorate writing paper oneself, … find a completely new form …

Getting connected …

Saga-of-writing — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:50:04 +0000

In just about a week, I have a few lovely new contacts via the post about good mail karma – keep it going!

I hope to be doing more letterwriting again now that I have accomplished some project in writing. I have seen sooo nice ideas of mail art, to not just write the letter, but make it a piece of art. Look in some of the blogs I have listed in the link section.

How do you write your letter?

Do you decorate?

Ink? Ballpoint? Type?

Good mail karma wanted?

Welcome creative penfriends, mail artists and

people addicted to pen, paper, envelopes & stamps ie. the real postal mail.

So here’s the game: Enter your name, adress or e-mail or blog here – so to provide some way of contact for interested new penfriends.

Tell others what you’re looking for in a penpal / mail artist friend.

Note which countries you can send things.

For some people, that may be important due to postage prices

that can become very high nowadays.

Include your interests & your location /country.

And remember the karma rules: giving first – ie. write to at least one person here!

Letters going out … with a little creative envelopes

Saga-of-writing — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 16:23:19 +0000

I was wondering about the karma of letterwriting … to give good mail to receive some? But this is not like buying bread for money. Still I hope I’ll get some good letters in return.

A little “Servus” from Vienna

swiss post box pretty infront of mountains & lake

Hello everyone or Servus, as we say in Austria. I’m sorry this has been silent. Not yet sure, where the blog will take me. I have been thinking a lot about how I prefer the paper and handwriting, things you can touch, to the fast but instable internet correspondence.

What do you all think about it?

I’m back to letterwriting, at last.

Odd weird people

Saga-of-writing — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 11:18:15 +0000

This whole internet thing is giving me thought – can it ever work for a friendship? Does it allow people to just send any silly e-mail instantly?

I sent someone a polite e-mail and what do I get back? Insult, hardcore insult.

Is there really 99% weirdos out there? Is anyone still thinking before hitting send-button?!!!

Seriously thinking about deleting e-mail address, blog and never writing to internet-advertisers.

How strange …

Postal strike in Canada.

Saga-of-writing — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 18:25:22 +0000

As I heard here, postal workers in Canada seem to be on strike. Julie reminds people on how much work they do – she followed a postal worker and writes about it. Interesting!

As for my own mail, still a bit behind, but working on it. I should be more creative to make it more fun, I think … need new ideas. Writing what I have been up to is somewhat boring, I feel.
