DECOS - Do you miss them?

Information

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

Comment by Heide Monster on June 26, 2018 at 12:28am: Hi Bonnie

I got the deco today. I've never done this before and wonder: after I finish a page (one side, right) who do I send it on to ? Does it matter, or I choose someone in the group randomly?

Comment by Uta Richter on June 22, 2018 at 9:49pm: a college of mine in Geneva wants to part of the projet, she is a brilliant icon painter, I'll take care of sending your decos to her as well, she is not on IUOMA

I am going to send decos with the following topics: women, silence, someone must have told a lie, water, migration, paradise, heroes.

Can't wait to receive yours!
