| There were stamps for the passports.... |
 |
| and projects to work on... |
 |
| Three different people brought artistamps (thanks you guys!) |
 |
| There a swap table with plenty of ephemera to make things right on the spot. |
 |
| There was Show and Tell (Andria-- see your little booklet inside that cool envelope you made? Everyone loved it!) Andria's tutorial for coin envelope book here Here is that link for all of you who asked me -- How Did she Do It???? |
 |
| More artistamps for the SF Correspondence Co-op passports -- you can never have too many. |
 |
| There was laughing and talking and fun. |
 |
| And there was a huddle....what do you think they are all looking at? |
 |
| and photographing? |
 |
| One of our co-op members was gifted this fabulous mail art themed tote made from a FedEx Tevek envelope with some cancelled stamps and labels sewn on. We were all overcome with envy and PLH is lucky she made it out of there with that bag still on her person. But -- if YOU can sew -- and I can't -- you too can whip up one of these bags for yourself and perhaps one for me as well. I'm just sayin'. What a fun idea. |
 |
| Another view of the tote bag. The USPS also has free tevek bags but I suggest you actually use one to mail so you then you can re-purpose it into a bag. A fine way to spend a Saturday afternoon in the city. After our mail art meeting we went upstairs in the library to see a very fine calligraphy show. |

 |
| A little calligraphy mail art? I think so! After that some of went next door to the Asian Art Museum to see the show 28 Chinese. We figure you can never have too much fun. |
 |
| So, what did I do with the paper ephemera I took from the swap table? Why, I made mail art, of course! So that was Saturday. SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL |
