see also www.cherylpenn.com
and http://cherylpenn.com/wpb/
I started The MAil ARt School SA in 2009 which currently has about 20 participating artists - some faster than others! Part of the research for my Masters dissertation was on Ray Johnson - I found the concept very appealing and have since made artists books which incorporate mail art (see Book 57 on the website). As I continue to make these diary books I would LOVE to include correspondence from artists all over the world. I will respond to EVERY card.

Your Trashbook & pro-anti-Minxus ("creamed tarts"?) arrived safely - both destined to be classics, I'm sure. You outdid yourself. Many thanks, more later.

Hello cheryl, I am owing a book to you! (I have been very busy!)

I am grateful for all your art and the inspiration that you share! The collaborative books were the most surprising of the exhibition that we have realized in the Museum and it is something that I would like to continue doing. 

In the next week I will do something for send to you!
