When they come back..
...what do you do with them?
Every now and then a piece of ail art will come back to me with a notation such as Recipient has moved; or No such Address, or like that--it happens to everyone, right?
Well, what do you do with a card that you've sent someone and had it bounce back at you? Do you archive it? Keep it on your refrigerator door? Send it to someone else?
What I have done with the two most recent ones that bounced back was: I redid them slightly on the picture side, just added a little thing or two to make it different, then redid the address side thoroughly so the original non-recipient's not-an-address was covered, and put a fresh stamp on it to mail out to anotgher lucky person.

I've only gotten 2 back. I got out my flat white paint and covered the written side and did another collage on it, It will go to someone in the future in a handmade envelope.

Once an envelope was returned though the address was correct. I wrote "this address does exist", sent it again and it was delivered.

I’ve repurposed it into other mail projects or into my journals.
