The old envelopes

[Ilya Semenenko-Basin]

Dear friends, I bought at the auction a pack of old envelopes, with a picture, size 114x161 millimeters (4.5 x 6.3 inches), and I don't know how to use them in Mail Art. Maybe someone wants to receive such an envelope as a gift. In the future, you can make your collage on the reverse side of the envelope, or use it in some other way.

Thank you so much, Ilya! FOUR old Russian envelopes arrived in yesterday's mail delivery:

They are very special and are in my postal album already. So kind of you to send them,

I hope all is well for you in Moscow. Stay Safe, xxx Katerina in Greece

[Ilya Semenenko-Basin]

Hi, Katerina! I am very happy. The images on these postal envelopes contain completely disappeared political symbols, which is unusual in its own way. I wish you a peaceful and creative summer!

[Ilya Semenenko-Basin]

I keep playing the auction and winning old postal envelopes. If anyone is working with envelopes, using them in their collages, please mail me.

[Ilya Semenenko-Basin]

I have to say that the offer still stands. How would you use a picture envelope in your creative work? Let's share our thoughts. I have something to say too.

[Coco Muchmore]

Fun to nest these! Yes, please send to Coco Muchmore, PO Box 373, Perry, KS, 66073--and I will send some things in return!

[Ilya Semenenko-Basin]

I am glad for your response. I will do.

[Ilya Semenenko-Basin]

Thank you for your reply. I need your address.

Margaret, I will send you the envelopes. You and I have previously exchanged envelopes during the four-handed game project.

[Ilya Semenenko-Basin]

Dear friends, a reminder that there are still plenty of old Soviet postal envelopes left. They have long been out of production. I may have become sluggish, but the promised envelopes are always ready to be sent to you.

[Toni Hanner]

I would love one or two or three of these!

[Ilya Semenenko-Basin]

Toni, I'll send you envelopes. Don't forget to include your address.
