<p>Feedback is always welcome.</p> What Do I Do With Add/Passes?tag:iuoma-network.ning.com,2019-04-23:2496677:Topic:23137472019-04-23T16:04:01.304ZBonniedivahttp://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/BonnieShorr
<p>Add/Passes can be fun and interesting, but many artists don't know what to ADD, so they PASS on doing them all together. </p>
<p>Here are some things I add. I keep special adds ready to glue on:</p>
<p>1. I have special labels that I make on my printer and glue on. I usually make the label with a photo and my address. It's my simple add.</p>

<p>Here are some things I add. I keep special adds ready to glue on:</p>
<p>1. I have special labels that I make on my printer and glue on. I usually make the label with a photo and my address. It's my simple add.</p>
<p>2. I do vintage collage, so I use a lot of images from vintage mags. I find the ads very whimsical, so I cut out a bunch of ads and keep them in a special bin. I glue them on the add/pass and then affix my address label as a way of signing.</p>
<p>3. Some Add/Passes ask you to "altar" or literally "add" to an existing photo on the add/pass. I do that either by drawing or gluing something on. Then I sign on the back.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Add/Passes are also a great way to meet other mail artists, who may not necessarily be on IUOMA. </p>
<p>Any questions? Send me a message!</p>
