Bravo, Val.

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on July 15, 2013 at 8:01pm

What is the BIGGEST Mail Art Exhibition that's ever been held? 'Biggest' in terms of number of pieces received.

My forthcoming Post Card Exhinition in Sigean, France, in August, will have well over 1000 contributions.

Can I claim this as the biggest in the world, the biggest in Europe, the biggest in Sigean, the biggest ever, the biggest in 2013, etc?

Can you help?

And then I can write to the Guinness Book of Records. (Or drink a Guinness)

Thank you.

Val

Susan: turn off your computer, go for a walk, enjoy life. Come back later, much later. Val

Thank you for your quick answer.

Galerie du Crabe (x3): Mom Kat once told me that 99 was the limit. When I do a 'mass mailing' to my Friends, I usually break them down into groups of about 6O-70. It works like that. Val

I've mailed a collaged CD, a collaged old-time (hard) floppy disk. I've received part of an old telephone (from Dean,) a paint can top, and more. Dean's "trick" is to put enough postage on whatever you're sending, but not a return address! It works every time. Go for it, Samantha!

thank you,ive been so curious.

Can I send a felt envelope through the mail?

I saw a kit on sending a pigeon through the mail on the letter writers alliance website.

I want to know what are the parameters on sending mail ? 

can I send anything through the mail as long as I put enough postage,can i make envelopes out of anything?
