LOST MAIL ART

Information

This is a place where you can blog your mail art which went missing. It will give us an idea of:

1) How many Mail Art pieces go missing

2) Types of Mail Art pieces which go missing

3) Which countries were involved

It will also be a way for the "would be recipient" and the rest of us to see what you sent.

Awards & competitions to be announced at a later date!

Comment by Monster A GoGo on August 2, 2022 at 10:14pm: And, why not? Here's another that has gone missing in action. A postcard with a photo was also sent inquiring if the original was received. Not a peep. Hmm.

Comment by Monster A GoGo on August 2, 2022 at 10:12pm: Here is something else I have no idea if it was ever received or not. I even sent a postcard (with a photo of the envelope) asking. Zip! I don't know if she got it or not. Not a big deal, but...

Comment by Monster A GoGo on August 2, 2022 at 5:27pm: Here is ANOTHER apparently LOST piece of Mail Art o' mine...

Comment by Monster A GoGo on August 1, 2022 at 8:20pm: And yet ANOTHER lost piece o' mail art... This was sent to Ilya. The war has interrupted things. Will he ever get it? That remains to be seen...

Comment by Monster A GoGo on August 1, 2022 at 6:41pm: MomKat--That's a whale of a great story. Glad he finally found a home.

Here is another apparently LOST envelope of mine...

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on August 1, 2022 at 12:49pm: Once upon a time someone had a mail art call for "Space whale", and I sent out this card, and never heard if it arrived. Lost in the Mail?

Then it was returned 5 months later" wrong address". So I found what I thought was the correct address and sent it again...6 months later it came back...so not really "lost mail", more like "lost address"? Finally I made a third sending, but this time to someone who appreciates animal "critters" of all kinds: Heleen in Amstelveen!...and it arrived :-)

Comment by Monster A GoGo on August 1, 2022 at 7:18am: Bradford just directed me to this discussion group. In my short return to mail art, I have had PLENTY of pieces go MIA.

For startes, here is a photo of an envelope I sent to mark Johnson a while back...
