"Pedro always sends these mystery pieces with undetermined material encased in plastic. I always like them but would be terrified to actually open the plastic. And now we know that Mr. Clean is called "Don Limpio" in Spain."

Greek Aerograms
Last fall I received some aerogram-themed mail art from R.F. Côté in Canada. After seeing my post, Katerina Nikoltsou was inspired to make some aerogram-inspired mail art herself. She started with color copies of original aerograms. Ones she had mailed to an aunt in Chicago years back. I am wondering if an aerogram revival is at hand — at…See More

Remembering the VW Bug - a new Add-n-Pass
It saddens me that Volkswagen has decided to cease production of the Beetle. I have lived in San Francisco for nearly 30 years without owning a car. But I have fond memories of zipping around in that orange, 1973, VW Super Beetle during college. That car was so fast. I actually have dreams where I still drive that car. After a trip to Europe, I plastered the back of the car with stickers in various languages, mostly anti-nuclear. Some were even bought in the “gift shop”of an occupied…See More

- I appreciate thoughtful and creative mail art and enjoy making and sending it.

I have receive too many add-n-passes that feel like old fashioned chain letters. When those arrive, I am no longer adding and/or passing.

Found a few very old aerogrammes that I used to send from Istanbul and from Greece,"back-in-the-days".
So a few on their way to you, perhaps they were the earliest form of my "mail art", as there were no greeting cards to be bought back then, so I had to decorate aerogrammes!:
Thanks for the memories :-)

I have blogged your color recall, FINALLY. In case you missed the post, I must have put it in my computer case before I went to america in July… Luckily I found it, but feel terrible that it wasn't acknowledged for so long! http://thepostalleger.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/tofu-recalls-colour.html
