DECOS - Do you miss them?

Information

DECOS - Do you miss them?

Do you miss Decos? What’s a DECO? It’s a sort of mail art friendship book, but with a theme. Each book has around 6 to 10 pages inside and a THEME. You do a page according to your art style and following the theme, and you mail it to another DECO person. It’s like an ADD/PASS, in a way. When it’s full, it goes back to the person who started it.

I started doing DECOs back in 2004, but then people started making them too heavy, gluing all sorts of heavy embellishments, etc., and I couldn’t afford the postage. Then, the DECO world sort of died out. I’d like to see if any of you are interested. 

Let me know if you have questions! Hugs, Bonniediva

Add/Pass BOOKS are becoming popular 1 Reply

I've noticed that Add/Pass books are becoming more popular these days. Kinda like a deco. I love the freedom of being able to add anything I like.Continue

Hi Friends,

I have 5 Decos ready to mail out.

Please let me know if anyone would like them next.

Two of them just need ONE person to finish them (one from Carolyn "Make your Mark Deco" and the other from Bonniediva "Idols and Icons".)

Three are just starting with interesting themes: Countries and Flags and Vintage Recipes from Kayenderes. One from Boozy Barb "Do whatever you like".

Please let me know and maybe they can go out in tomorrow's mail or on Tuesday.

Hi Carolyn, Bonniediva, and  Linda,

Hope you are all doing well.

I have some 3Decos to pass along as soon as I work on them.

One was started by Carolyn "Make your Mark"(arrived today from Ruth Giles) 

I will post to the group once they are done, ok?

Hugs

I am having artists block.  I've gotten 2 decos to work on. I'll get them out soon I promise. I'm just having a blip on the creative side if you know what I mean.

I'm going through decal creative block as I have been sent a blank one and somehow doing the first page has me staring at the blank page with a blank look and empty mind.

Hi Boozy Barb,

Received your Deco and will work on it soon. 

Love the envelope too.

Hi Bonniediva,

Ok, I have two to send to you.

Thank you.
