A place to collaborate and organize group add & pass books. This group is for anyone interested in starting & participating in add & pass books/booklets.
I will add to it and then...: who is interested in "an old French poetry booklet initiated by Danièle and to which I will add today or tomorrow another art page? The booklets weight is around 100 gram!
...and who is interested in continuing a booklets that I received from Anita and that was initiated by Sil? I find their contributions very beautiful -and I hope mine will also be appreciated ;)
the "game" is that you send it to ANOTHER person than those who allready made a contribution to the booklet; that is, you are the 5th person who makes an addition and afterwards you send it to a 6th person ;)
I have two lovely small books both started by Sil in Belgium that have many blank pages waiting to be filled. Is anyone here in the US or in Canada who would like to add to them before they go back across the ocean?
Debra, I've received the add-and-pass booklet from you and it's now on its way to another mail artist. Yesterday, I put a booklet in the mail to you and I hope that you enjoy working on it!
I have an Add n Pass Passport book started by Kevin Brandtner in Austria. So far, it is very interesting with almost half still empty. Would anyone here like to receive it next?
I've been rearranging my studio and have had some piles sitting around for several months. I came across an add and pass book that I worked on in November. There is no "Return to" address in this book. Last year I tried to find the owner by posting on the IUOMA FB page, with no luck. Does anyone want this book, perhaps with better investigation skills than I? So far it has been worked on by Michelangelo Mayo, The Sticker Dude, Neosho Mail, DMC, and Mike Dickau. I'd really like to get it moving again, but just don't know how to get it home.
Hello to all. Pam Chatfield, I sent the A&P book I mentioned in Dec. to Amy Irwen. Perhaps she still has it? And Amy, if you work on the book Terri Owenby sends you, I’d enjoy working on that one as well. I have a thing for these A&P books! Thanks! Debra
I've received a big fat A&P book that Coco Muchmore started, and have added my contributions.
This book weighs 4.3 ounces / 121 grams. Since it's so heavy, I thought that I should ask if anyone would like it rather than just sending it out.
I'm in the USA, but I would be willing to send it overseas.
To sweeten the deal: there are pockets glued to the front and back inside covers. and these are stuffed with stamps, stickers, and other ephemera. If there's anything that you like or would use in your own art, help yourself!
I agree, Jennifer! I much prefer small booklets, smaller than 50 grams or two U.S. ounces. Also, the envelope size matters since I make custom envelopes using letter-sized (or A2) sheets.
The U.S. postal rates aren't as bad as the ones I've heard of in other countries but we get a rate increase every six months, in January and in June, and overseas mail has gotten very expensive.
I make (someone said "big fat") beautiful vibrant interactive participatory books with handpainted papers, original art by myself and others, artistamps to take and trade, ATCs to take and trade, poetry, inserts, mailcall announcements, and anything I make or find that reads "interesting" to me. They are for enjoyment, and collaboration, and the healthy diet of the Eternal Network. They are infinitely more fun than so many other add and pass books I have seen. The possibilities of "what to do" with these, like ALL mailart, are endless. Take out a postcard and send it to someone, use the artistamps and put some of yours back in, tear out pages you don't like, destroy it until it reaches the weight your prefer, toss it in the trash, pass it to someone else who you like or don't like, send it back, or bitch about how much it weighs and keep it--it's ALL mailart! It's the Eternal Network in action. There ARE NO RULES! This is MY ART, not my attempt at fitting in to some unwritten set of artistic or popular parameters.
Which is all to say, if you would like to receive one of these fantastic books from me, just message me!
And is somebody interested to Add, that is, to interact in one of these "beautiful vibrant interactive participatory books" offered by Coco and that I received from her (see her presentation, hereunder)?

Hello everyone, on Jun 28th I broke my left wrist. I won't be able to do mail art for several weeks.
Please refrain from sending me anything new. I'll hang onto any art that comes in the meantime and send a reply when I can.
