Do you miss Decos? What’s a DECO? It’s a sort of mail art friendship book, but with a theme. Each book has around 6 to 10 pages inside and a THEME. You do a page according to your art style and following the theme, and you mail it to another DECO person. It’s like an ADD/PASS, in a way. When it’s full, it goes back to the person who started it.
I started doing DECOs back in 2004, but then people started making them too heavy, gluing all sorts of heavy embellishments, etc., and I couldn’t afford the postage. Then, the DECO world sort of died out. I’d like to see if any of you are interested.
Let me know if you have questions! Hugs, Bonniediva

I've noticed that Add/Pass books are becoming more popular these days. Kinda like a deco. I love the freedom of being able to add anything I like.Continue

i love both and send me a few. thank you so. Light weight is excellant and small size like 2" or 3" square. Love the mini ones.
I'm happy to work on decos. Join me! Please try to use lightweight materials so we can include International friends.
can i send a deco or can someone send me a deco please contact me!
I sent a Deco out into the world a few weeks ago... I wonder where it is now?
i'd love to have a whack at some deco books.. plzz add me to your list..
Thanks, Fleur. I haven't received a deco for about a year. I think perhaps postal prices are discouraging transatlantic book exchanges nowadays.
The main difference is that a Deco book has a theme that the originator sets. For example, I recently worked on a Deco that had a Frida Kahlo theme.
I recently sent a few add & pass books out into the world, but I don't know where they are currently. Could someone explain to me, the difference between a Deco and an Add & Pass book? Thanks.
