Back from Venezia, am I, and a very good time it was. Many thanks to Tiziana BaracchiI and Giancarlo Da Lio for a wonderful afternoon at their home for a perusal of their archives and a visit to the "Tree." I made a patata rubber stamp for them (on my web site) and some photos were take, and a collage was mailed (The Paris Correspondence School page). Gracious hosts, many thanks... check them out if you are in that corner of the world.
My time in Venice was interesting because mailing something from the big post office at the San Marco sestiere side of the Rialto was challenging. "You can't mail that," I was told again and again. "Oh, yes I can," I said. "I'm an artist." "Oh, you're an artist, well then, okay." I had to use logic. Another time I was told: "I can't stamp that," when I wanted the stamp on the image side to be cancelled. Soon 10, 12, 14 people behind me started to make noises. I mumbled something in English to my postal friend that I can't print here, and skipped over to another window and slipped the artworks under the counter. "Can you cancel those and mail them for me?" I asked, leaving. "Grazie..." Her only question: "Is there enough postage on them?" "Si si si..." They arrived yesterday. I also dumped a few funny blue cardboard cards into post boxes with a 1 eurocent stamp on them and my address rubberstamped on the back. Not even the size of a post card. These had no trouble making their way back to Parigi! The Italian post seemed to like this.
