Why I am involved in Mail-Art:

For many years I have sent handmade postcards to my friends, but it is only recently that I found out about mail art as an art movement, and since then I have started my own project! I find it really inspiring seeing other peoples work and really exciting!

My mail art project - 'Phobias!'

Please may people send me postcards depicting their phobia in any medium they wish. Once I recieve 100 I will start to organise an exhibition for the summer. I've recieved a lovely bunch so far, and hope to get many more!

My mail art project on phobias so far....

Today I recieved two more cards - one from the Netherlands and one from England. This puts my grand total of postcards that I received on this project to 22 - which is not bad considering my project has only been going on for less then four weeks!

I have started a sketch book which I keep as a mail art diary of the project and stick in any interesting envelopes I have been sent and just little notes. I am finding this project really exciting, and love recieving such a wide range of art styles -… Continue

Yes, I think it's going well, but I have an ambitious plan and getting enough postal addresses to send postcards to is proving difficult.
Perhaps you can get some friends to email me theirs?
:)
Your project looks great! A nice selection of stuff.
And you're right in remarking that postage stamps and envelopes can be artworthy in themselves :)
Happy mail-arting Liz!

Anyway, I do not have any personal mail art calls.
I am on a committee for the SKETBE Mail Art 2009 Greece exhibit,which will open at Aristotle University here in Thessaloniki on December 1,2009. Unfortunately, the deadline is over. However, you are always welcome to send mail art to me...I have started a little collection at my studio.Just nice personal exchange, tis fun!

At 11:20am on November 13, 2009, Katerina Nikoltsou said…: Hello Elizabeth,
some art postcards with phobias are on their way to you
from Greece :-)
Today is one of those days for a phobia:
Friday the 13th...
"Henry Ford would have hated 2009, and not just because it's been a tough year to sell cars.
Ford, as the story goes, refused to do business on Friday the 13th, and this week marks the third time this year that the 13th will fall on a Friday — the most times it can happen in one year.
It's a day when people rearrange travel plans, delay surgery or just pull up the covers and stay in bed until Friday the 13th turns into Saturday the 14th, convinced that even stepping out of the house would cause bad luck to find them…
"They're afraid something tragic or ominous would happen," said Donald Dossey, a North Carolina behavioral scientist and author who said he named the fear — paraskavedekatriaphobia — proof that he does not suffer from hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, the fear of long words.
"paraskavedekatriaphobia"
"hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia"
two of the phobias I'm sending you...it's Greek to me!
