LOST MAIL ART

This is a place where you can blog your mail art which went missing.  It will give us an idea of: 

1) How many Mail Art pieces go missing 

2) Types of Mail Art pieces which go missing 

3) Which countries were involved   

It will also be a way for the "would be recipient" and the rest of us to see what you sent.  

Awards & competitions to be announced at a later date!

23.08.14 Dare Ms. Heleen De V., Many thanks for your thoughtful missive concerning W. Reginald Bray. &  Sir Valentine Mark H. is  I think most astute (as ever) in his observation that Mister Bray is an obvious  forerunner &  leader of this Group. All best to you. Richard Canard

Indeed Heleen!

I wrote something similiar on 1 August:

This Group is for Lost Art, ie Mail Art that went missing.

Should we move back a stage in the creative and postal processes and form a Group for Mail Art that was thought about but never actually made, let alone sent? The Unmade Mail Art Group?

I hope that today you get great enjoyment from my first piece of Unmade-Mail-Art-that-I-would-have-sent-you-if-it-existed_but-it-didn't

The 'Plus' you mention is very, very important. I think that we should have a new Group, "Hommage to W Reginald Bray". To my way of thinking, there is an obviuos leader of this Group -- go for it, Dean!

@ Val: and at least a third category: the "Mail-Art-that-one-would-have-sent-if-it-existed-but-it-didn't".

By the way, don't you mean by MA-Plus also W.R.Bray-type specials?

Comment by Heleen de Vaan on August 22, 2014 at 7:31pm

But at least it has traveled to the Netherlands - and the same distance in return! With a nice postal addition (are you sure the content of the envelope is the same as you had sent? Sometimes mail artists are so clever to collect these kind of additions to use it to return envelopes, with new content :-)
