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 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.
Apr 20, 2021
Fleur Helsingor
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.
Apr 21, 2021
RUTH GILES
Thanks, Fleur. I haven't received a deco for about a year. I think perhaps postal prices are discouraging transatlantic book exchanges nowadays.
