Mim, one of the leading lights of Mailart365 has ut up another REAL wall while procrastinating on the letter S

your REAL wall by mim4art - 01 Feb 2011, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

Mim has been a supporter of my REAL wall for a long time, sending her first REAL wall back in August 2009.

One of the first members of mailart365, Mim's output is prolific, to the point that I measure what number I'm supposed to be on by what number she's on (which usually has a suffix after it, like 63a, 63b, 63c as she is doing mailart1000 it seems!)

Here's Mim's latest REAL wall, covered with mailart365 gems, including one of Elena's quilled pieces, Spring Blossom. In amongst all those, I can spot a Katerina Nikoltsou, Red Letter Day, Dewi and many other superstars of mailart!

Mim4Art your REAL wall November 2010, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

Mim has been a long time contributor to my REAL wall and is a co-conspirator when it comes to mailart talks. It was partly because of her that I started giving lectures in mailart, so I thought it was only right to send a postcard to her designed by my students from my mailart lecture.

The big green Male art card in the centre was drawn by one of my students in a recent lecture. She had assuemd that my talk was going to be on MALE art as opposed to female art (or mailart) and hence the pic.

Nice to see it made it up on to Mims REAL wall all the way over there in Richmond, VA.

Here's what Mim has to say about the whole thing:

My REAL wall is a jumble. I hesitate to remove anything because it's like a house of cards with one thing propped on another's pushpin or sharing pins. Plus, I like looking at things for a long time, remembering who sent them to me, like the little Dutch shoes, or keep things at hand like my MimPost stamps or the collage going into an exhibit.

One day, I'll take it all down and start fresh, or not.

your REAL wall number 3 from Mim4art, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

On our recent trip to Romania, I managed to get around to sending some
postcards out to some people in my REAL mail mailing list. This one went out
to Mim, who blogs at mim4art.blogspot.com

Here's what she has to say by email

Hello Andy and Elena,

I sent you a piece of mail this afternoon for

your REAL WALL.

I took this photo of you Cathedral

postcard on MY real wall.

best to you both,

mim

My postcard is the building on the left against blue sky. The building
pictured was very near to Elena's brothers house in Iasi, Northern Romania,
which was the one-time capital of Romania in the olden days.

Mim is now off to Washington, DC to see the Smithsonian Craft Show, which is apparently a gathering of the top crafts people from around the U.S. Wish I could be there, but I can't as I'm off paragliding this weekend. It's my first flight without an instructor, so wish me luck!

Your REAL wall - mim4art studio wall 2, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

Mim is one of the regular contributors to my REAL wall and today she has sent a new picture of her REAL wall featuring my Rug card.

This is the same studio wall we saw way back in August of last year, and some things have changed while some things have very much stayed the same.

In her words

"your rug card is still there, as are the Monas and the Tour Eiffel, but other things have changed up"

Can you spot the differences?

My real wall in my studio where I post some of my letters and postcards, as well as other things. The carpet card adds such a nice bit of energy and motion!

It's been a long time since one of my cards appeared on one of your REAL walls, so don't forget to stick my post up on your wall and photograph it - remember there's more than one way to feature here on my REAL wall.
