Val MacEwan commented on Ruud Janssen's group 'P.O.Box owners'

Now, with Momma gone, I need to get happy mail at PO Box 386, Washington NC 27889, US. So, if you have a spare post card, a bit of whimsy or something silly, send it there. Maybe it won't hurt so much when I open the door and find "Ruth Heinold" o...

Val MacEwan commented on Ruud Janssen's group 'P.O.Box owners'

My P.O. Box began when my Momma moved in with us, 7 years ago. She would open all the mail and think every bill was hers. Then there was the question of privacy. She'd say, "Oh, I thought that was addressed to me... sorry" with her last name being...

IUOMA novel

I am sending a book off and each person that recieves it will add one page to the story then they pass it on to the next person. Once you have sent it on please note so on this group so that the book never goes back to the same person twice.

P.O.Box owners

A post office box (often abbreviated P.O. Box or PO Box) is a uniquely-addressable lockable box located on the premises of a post office station. Why do you have one? What do you do with it. What is the advantage? How does yours look like?

Profile Information

Mail-Artist since:

11/30/1954

My Website:

http://www.assemblagist.org

Why I am involved in Mail-Art:

Because I just found it and am interested in exploring it further. *Ok, now I've explored. Mail Art? I have been a mail artist since gradeschool and the first envelope and stamp were placed in my possession. No, it goes back further! My Mom sent a lock of my hair to my Uncle in Ohio 2 days after my birth, it was tied in a pink bow and taped to a card. It was and still is, Art.

My parents used to send me Western Union telegrams at school The principal would call me out of class to hand me the messages. I remember one of the best was from Richard Nixon wishing me good luck in an upcoming student government election and offering campaign advice, c. 1972. Wish I still had that. I think that was the catalyst for my mailing Object of Strange to people throughout my lifetime. Odd postcards and such.

My favorite thing to do these days is to buy vintage post cards with long strange messages on them and then re-address the cards (keeping original message intact) and mailing them to people. I'll try to post some of the scans of these cards...
