Hi Afritha,

Just send mail. 

     People send postcards, or decorated envelopes, or art inside envelopes, or miscellaneous objects. Often they send a note with the art, but not always.  It depends on what art you make, and your budget and your interests.  Look at the groups that interest you. 

     Its been my experience that the people that are currently  active on the IOUMA site will respond to your mail.  Even though there are thousands of members, not all are currently doing MAil Art.  Click on someone's name and on their page, half way down is their address. . 

     Heck, send me something.  I promise to send something in response.

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 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

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.
