Some mail art objects and packets going out to John Winsor in Suffolk back in the 90's.  He wrote a nice article about mail art for the Guardian newspaper. Objects included a CDROM,  CD shaped bubble gum ( never arrived ) chopsticks  and a wooden coat hanger.

Yeeeee!!!! That Bray stamp is just about the greatest thing I have ever seen!!

Most recently for Easter I sent my fellow PDXCC friends packages of Peeps. Marshmallow chicks. They did stay in their store package, I didn't send them loose and sticky. Just a stamp and an address label and they all arrived! I've also mailed tiles, a brick, a flip-flop sandal, a rock, a chocolate bar. I was made for this group!! Who wants to exchange some goodies?

I was so happy when Positively Postal gifted me with a copy of the book about Reginald. I'm not one for testing the tolerance of the postal service really, though I've sent unwrapped stuff - like a pill bottle with a tag/label attached by a study string. It arrived. And DVD discs that I'd collaged and old timey floppy disks that I'd collage. All recipients received them. Not too challenging. I use the Dean, Artist In Seine method of not putting a return address on those items.

I love the image of the book Heleen. Since writing it I have been fortunate to acquire quite a few more "Brays" including this rather nice rebus puzzle.

A year ago I happened to have sent John Tingey's book on W.R. Bray from the Netherlands to the USA.
The company 'Ripley Entertainment' had a contest about sending strange objects naked in the mail. And I felt obliged, and found it a pleasure, to send them W.R. Bray, to remind them to the fact that this postal hero has been sending interesting objects (including himself) already 114 years before. The Americans didn't know this Englishman so far and were happy to receive this book.

Also for the Ripley contest I sent clapping hands (which made me a winner, so they sent me a book) and tiny objects, which almost all arrived.

I've posted these in the IUOMA 'Odd shaped postcards' group.
