| Mail Art I am often asked what do I do with all the wonderful mail I get.... Good question. I am always trying to think up things to do with it. Here is some of my favorite mail art displayed on my bookshelves. Maybe some of you will recognize things you've sent to me here.... |
 |
| A lovely mail artist named Alice S. is represented -- a stack of her mail art zines on the left and a red post box on the right... |
 |
| A couple of my favorite postcards compliments of SW and KC sitting on a shelf -- we all love doorbells. |
 |
| Books and books of postcards... Jennie Hinchcliff from Red Letter Day gave me the idea of buying old photo albums with clear plastic sleeves from the thrift shop and filling them with postcards -- great idea! |
 |
| Here are some of the pages.... |
 |
| and a few more..... This is really a great way to store postcards received and it is very fun to sit with a book and flip through the pages for inspiration. |
 |
| And then we have the MAIL ART SHOPPING CART! Now don't you wish you had one of these all filled up with terrific mail? Packages on the bottom.... I don't know what I will do when I fill this cart all up...start a gallery maybe? (My husband says this cart has GOT to go!) |
 |
| CAPPUCCINO I need a coffee break break after all this...... |
 |
| More postcards to browse through..... |
 |
| OUTGOING Besides stacking up piles of mail, I have been busy making envelopes..... |
 |

 |

 |

 |
| OUTGOING Postcards Happy Mail and Happy May Day! Keep those cards and letters and zines coming! Much appreciated. Send good mail -- Get good Mail |
Yummy! If I had a shopping cart full of mail..... I would put my Pjs on, pour a BIG cup of coffee, and tear into it- not getting up until I'd read through it twice. Pamela, you have some darn GOOD MAIL! Oh, I like the photo album idea- gonna copy that.
ReplyDeleteGo ahead and copy it -- after all I copied it from Jennie!
DeleteOh Tallie's is just wonderful! I really like the planets paper :) x
ReplyDeleteSally--that envelope is made with Tallie's son in mind - he loves the solar system!
DeleteI love that shopping cart, it's perfect for all that mail! Did my "green" letter arrive last week? (I hope so)
ReplyDeleteToo bad you don't live in SF, Annejo--I'd give you the shopping cart. Yes, I did get your wonderful mail and many thanks. You'll be hearing from me....

In the last week I was in New York and visited the Flea Market you mentioned.
You have absolutelly right! It was great, thank you!
Thanks, Susannia -- happy to hear you enjoyed the flea market in NYC. I think we need a mail art museum for all our mail. Thanks for the comment. Next time come to San Francisco!
