Cascadia and I have the same idea of a creepy clown

I have had this postcard on my desk ever since it arrived quite a long time ago. I sent a clown to mail art martha and intended to send one back to Cascadia Art Post but to be honest, this card says everything I might have said anyway.

I may have told you before that I went on BOZO the clown when I was a kid.  It was on my birthday so I got to blow kisses to the audience and emerge from some object. I must have liked BOZO but I can't remember and it baffles me if I did. I know I hated going to birthday parties with clowns.

Then about ten years ago I worked with a clown named Ken and together we transformed the way I was teaching a year eleven class.  Boy was he smart and edgy and uncomfortable so my ideas about clowns changed.  But let me tell you, this clown. What a BOZO and it is certainly no joke!  Thank you Cascadia.  As ever you did that thing that mail art can do so well!  CHECK OUT THE STAMPS!

Below what I sent to Martha and a link http://clownparadeproject.blogspot.co.uk to the other clowns!

On returning from Maine

Fabulous to have this pile of mail art to open over the next week or so and blog, bit by bit.  I got another two today which will be folded into my blogging pile.  I am determined to savour each piece of mail and equally determined to begin sending things out again with regularity.

With excitement and anticipation!

Commodity Civilisation III Cascadia Artpost

In the midst of so much mayhem and misery in the world,  I wouldn't be surprised if we all were undone. The thing is what I'm finding on the receiving end of mail art these days is that some of us who are troubled by the way the world is going are taking that energy, and doing something positive with it. I love that lots of eyes have seen Cascadia's wonderful stamps, perhaps read her quote from 'a Question of Values' and thought a little about the slogans, and sound bytes that we are bombarded by daily.  All we ned to do is change one person at a time to make some big change…  electric colour and energy!
