Here is a hypothetical question for some of the old boys to think on:

Scenario:  You put together a small project with the promise of some nice documentation, a book or something, a limited edition, one each.

You get a dozen pieces of work and get the book (or whatever) printed up in an edition of a dozen with no spares.

You post them out but one goes missing in the post.  What to do? 'Tough luck, that's the lottery of the postal service'?  Re print another dozen (oh, the expense of it all)?

Is there no way out without a disappointment?

Hopefully it will never happen but just in case . . .

I love manila folders.  They work nicely for postcards.

I've gotten those from Tom Hilgart, too. Just do whatever with them. Treat them like an add and pass OR just do something with them yourself and send back to Tom.

Comment by Donald Kolberg on July 13, 2019 at 12:11am

I got an envelope with DA DA Dollars from someone named Hilgart. Any info on what this is about

Zea, you don't have to friend anyone, but if you don't they cannot message you.  Up to you, "no rules".  It has been my experience that there is more art from friends than emails.  

Comment by Zea Morvitz on March 29, 2019 at 9:36pm

Hi there!

If I friend someone does that mean they will keep emailing me?

What if I only want to get emails from people in the group I joined?

Comment by The Artful Writer on February 15, 2019 at 7:03am

Is there a general free to use IUOMA image I can use for my mail?

Comment by Mail Art Martha on January 17, 2019 at 9:46am

Hi I need help, please. 

Can the order of a Photo Album be reversed so that the last photos added appear first?

I haven't found how after some exploring.

Actually, it's MS Writer.
