MailArt: Book Of DeaD

Information

I'm an admirer of the book of the dead, so I think a book of the same style is needed for MAILART.

The idea came from recycling a lot of paper that was around the house and this project came about

Creating mail art inspired by the "Book of the DeaD" can be a fascinating and creative endeavor.

The "Book of the DeaD" is an ancient Egyptian funerary text that contains spells and instructions for the deceased's journey through the afterlife.

Art Type: You can draw it, create from zero, copy, paste, make, cut, paint print, stamp it....
Material: You can use all materials.
Deadline: It's when i can't put more works inside the book
As usual: No fee / No Jury / No Return / No sell
Show: All the works that i received will be uploaded to this website, in Iouma site, and my social media networks. All the works received will be placed in the book (if possible) and in the end it will be a joint work.

Artist: All information send in the art will be displayed in the show (Artist name, Email, Webpage, social media.....)

Brain Cell 1204 Orion Soup Bulletin Board "when we encounter well-designed cars and buildings, we are impressed by them, and do really admire the talent of their designers and architects. I sometimes devise logotypes and visual poetry, and whn completed. I feel stisfied with it. However, now i would like to think of much more principle theme together with artists: space, atoms and others. This is the reason i opened a bulletin board. All the people have the right to discuss the beginning and the end of the space. Don't hesitate to put your idea on it about my bulletin board. My idea on the Big Bang and Prime Numbers is as follows.

This is a dilema...

Peter send me a book with rivets...

i can see some parts of the book..

can see that have a envole inside...

and now i have my imagination on the top..

my dark side wants to cut the rivets and see what's in the book...

the other side of me tells me not to ruin the work of art...

I'll let Peter tell me what to do...

you can see the documentation on https://viragfold.net/post/742662322025365504/the-book-of-dead
