The old envelopes

Dear friends, I bought at the auction a pack of old envelopes, with a picture, size 114x161 millimeters (4.5 x 6.3 inches), and I don't know how to use them in Mail Art. Maybe someone wants to receive such an envelope as a gift. In the future, you can make your collage on the reverse side of the envelope, or use it in some other way.

Since circumstances have changed dramatically in 2022, I am discontinuing this project. I managed to auction off hundreds of the remaining old envelopes and sold them yesterday, 4 August, for the equivalent of $40 at peacetime exchange rates. Of this money, 15% will be taken by the auctioneer. I have a small number of envelopes left at home, some of which I will use as ordinary envelopes for sending art mail. On the back of others I will make collages. This is how I intend to dispose of all my remaining stock. Thank you for your interest in this action!
