You are welcome.  I've been making and exchanging a lot of mail art, but I haven't been posting online lately.  I'm trying to get in the habit of visiting this site (and participating) more often.  See ya in the mail! Denise

Hi, Denise, iou so many blitzes! I'm buying a heat gun tomorrow to work on a mega-batch of them. I'm so glad to know glassine envies will go through the system -- so basically the non-machineable 71-cent butterfly surcharge stamp will "get-er-there." ( I'm imagining glassine might grunge-out, too, with Stayzon inks.) Thanks for joining the Ask Anything group, and saving me a ton of aggravation.

Hi res-I've used glassine envelopes for mailing and I think they can be quite lovely!  You have to seal them well, and you have to use "non-machineable" postage stamps.  Have fun!  Denise

Has anyone ever gotten away with using glassine envelopes as regular mailing envelopes?

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.

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.
