To receive a postcard you must first send one to me:

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

I received a small (6" x 1") piece of wood with a drawing and note from Heleen de Vaan of the Netherlands...LOVED IT!!! Very creative. Will be sending you one in return soon....

Thanks for joining in this project.

Peace and Love,

Mary

Wow, that's sooner than I expected it to arrive, I posted it just one week ago!
I'm glad you liked it!

Received your cute, funny-odd-shaped, Panda. Thank you very much, Mary!

Got one today that looks like a big puzzle piece from San Antonio, TX, but can't find the name Ecaterina as a member to send a thank you.  Does anyone know this name?

Mary she is the lady with a black hat at the members photos, Ecaterina Perez.

Still waiting for all those people who signed up to send their postcard:

Wentzville, MO  63385   USA

Something arriving soon for you, Mary...

odd-shape,( but not for a wine bottle :-)

And this arrived in Greece:

...and more, to be blogged soon :-)

Thank you so much! xxx

Thank you Mary! The "foot" has arrived in Greece:

Hope you got the odd-shaped card wine card from Greece, Mary? 

Foldable banana (approx. 75 cms when unfolded).

Sent to Greece. I'm looking forward to knowing if it'll arrive. 

(Apoplogies for the changing of the 'K' into a 'C', Katerina! It was easier to write it this way :-)

It may need help?

Sorry, the Banana never arrived, Heleen :-(

But a PICKLE did! From JessiebyDesign! Yay!

Odd shaped postcard from Jessie in Nebraska

I still keep hope it'll arrive one day!

Anyhow, the pickle is great, too!

Thanks to Eva's weblog post my attention was attracted to this contest:  Ripley's Strange Mail Contest!

Sure all of you must have great ideas to post to Ripley, looking forward to see it here, too (if you want to participate and share your picture here, too, of course) :-)

Sent my first odd mail for the contest! I hope it will arrive well. However  it not really is strange mail: when I submitted the entry form, the receiver replied that he liked it and that he already had received a green one! :-)

Great package which survived traveling via mail from Australia to the Netherlands:

And inside a cheerful and colourful content:

It was part of a 'Random objects' swap at the LEP.
Meanwhile I had send a teaspoon, packed in a small (so to the mail companies: odd shaped) package:

I am not sure whether it has arrived or not (and if not, if it will arrive at all - so I sent an other random object, this time packed in a normal shaped postal package, so not shown here :-) ).

The orange hand made it from the Netherlands to Florida! And is published on Ripley's website, together with even weirder mailed objects :-)

As a 'thank you' I received a book of Ripley, and also an other book - alas posted in a normal envelope, but with kind messages.

And today I posted a second object for the strange mail contest: a book. Well, that seems usual (apart from the fact that I posted it without envelope or any other cover). However the book is about mail, and I wrote about it here in IUOMA in an other group: it's about an Englishman who posted the most weird objects. Among them onions and: himself. And his bike :-) Over 110 years ago!

Tiny wooden figures, three of them with some things attached.
I am curious to know if they'll arrive at all!..

I'll put them in the letterbox tomorrow (a birdhouse and bird to Mary, a bird and butterfly to Val, and the remaing three to Ripley), and will keep my fingers crossed that they won't get lost in the post :-).

Loving all the great posts in this group! Just wanted to share the odd shaped pieces I've recently created from 6-pack carriers. There was a total of eight.

Sorry A.Sleep about the extra postage I am glad you didn't get charged, I did take it to the post office and they told me one stamp was enough next time I have an odd shaped one I might just put an xtra stamp or two on it just to be safe

It's a hexagon!

Sparkles on a great fun "odd shape" postcard from Linda French!

Odd-shaped mail art from Linda French!

a "hanger" from Artist in Seine , in Paris...

(no envelope) see blog:

• "Hangin' Out in London" from the Artist in Seine

a BLUE Bird from Heleen...shape of a bird, naturally :-)

• BLUE bird and Circles from Heleen

Gina Ulgen sent this fabulous cut cardboard card...fantastic!

Odd-Shaped card from GÜ/ Gina

...a bit bigger than "postcard", about A4 in size,

but the shape of a Vincent portrait from the Crackerjack Kid!

Great banana shaped card from Linda French.

Already received some tiwme ago but I think it matches this group, too!

Odd shaped postcards (or better: mail art created out of used coffee filters, size 4) you can send to the Used Coffeefilter Mail Art project. 

I wanted to send mine naked but despite of glueing all edges alas too many coffee grains still came out of the coffee filter postcard. To not disturb other mail users by having their mail coffeefied I finally decided to put some plastic around it...

You might like to see some that were sent to my Handy Postcard  roject back inthe 90's  -  http://handypostcard.blogspot.co.uk/

Wooden postcard 1916 in the Imperial War Museum North in Salford UK.

Double handed postcard for a project I initiated at the VAC Gallery in Northwich UK. 2015

Large A4 cut out, in ORANGE from Alana in Canada:

Curious to know if it will arrive at the aimed destiny, this tiny plastic box. It is the content of a chocolate 'surprise' egg. 

Hope it will travel well through the postal system, from the Netherlands to Belgium.

Orange colour + cow = mail for Eva :-)

I just joined this group. Can't wait to receive an Odd Shaped Postcard in the mail from someone. I will definitely send one in return. :)

Hi,

Hope everyone is doing well. :)

I was wondering if anyone would like to send me an Odd Shape Postcard.

I still haven't gotten one from this group.

Hugs,

Well, this one isn't exactly "odd-shaped" but it's unusual to receive a square canvas, which is what this is----quite delightful. 

From Bruno in PA:

"9312 Vol 184 No, 6.4"  :

Hi Barbargirl,

Hope you are doing well.

Thank you so much for the FIRST Odd shaped postcard from this group!

I really enjoyed the little envelope with the note. The sticker with the word" STOP, don't look inside" didn't stop me from looking! LOL
