<p>I have a filing system by artist's name as well as a bulletin board of a revolving mail art show. I was putting up groups by artists but I've gone to just mixing them up. They are all over my work place and bathroom so many people have looked at my wonderful collection. I never throw anything out. Bigger gifts (like Erni's!) are in a special section. My picture taking ability is poor but one can see my 'studio' where some of the art up. I rotate as well.Any books I receive have a special…</p>

They are all over my work place and bathroom so many people have looked at my wonderful collection. I never throw anything out. Bigger gifts (like Erni's!) are in a special section. My picture taking ability is poor but one can see my 'studio' where some of the art up. I rotate as well.Any books I receive have a special place and at parties I take them out and show people. They are always shocked at the art and cannot believe it's all by the grace of the artists.Many people stay in my bathroom just looking and no one can get in to do their business! I don't know what I'll do when I get as much as Erni, Katarina or Val.</p> Very, very cool collection.tag:iuoma-network.ning.com,2012-10-09:2496677:Comment:10975742012-10-09T20:41:01.772Zkaren Arp-Sandelhttp://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/karenArpSandel

<p>Now there are individual plastic envelope pages by artist or country,</p>
<p>and in another box there are larger folders that hold lots of mail art from </p>
<p>artists who send lots of mail art:</p>

<p>Our friend Erni gets a huge "BAR" bag for ALL the collages and packages he has sent,</p>
<p>and this is only half of it, as the Gallery of Colors' traveling exhibit has the other half!</p>
<p>Herr Haptic Werewolf's art is one of my largest and most precious collection:</p>

<p>I must say, I do enjoy discovering things. Mail Art was a fantastic thing for me to discover - it keeps me sane. I'll have to google that tomorrow after classes - it's way past my bedtime. I love what you did; very, very creative. Well you definitely made me smile; that is a fantastic expression.</p>

<p>I am twenty-one, twenty-two in March, and I am definitely looking forward to finding ways to incorperate the art I have received into my living situation once I have my own space. Hmm, I've never heard of art=cheese. I do like the excited man, though, that expression made me chuckle. </p>
