Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I love to create things - but even more than that I like to share the things I make. I love the inspiration that comes from receiving art from others, and nothing beats the experience of holding actual art (as opposed to just looking at electronic images,say). I like having 'treats' to look forward to - and receiving mail art is a big treat for me. I get huge joy from imagining how my art is travelling, and how it will be received when it arrives. It makes me smile.

    "I get huge joy from imagining how my art is travelling, and how it will be received when it arrives"  Me too.  Because of your words, now I have the answer.  All of them.  The ball is in your curt now.  Let´s keep inspiring each other. 

  • Michael Orr

    hi petrol. i don't remember if i responded to you. i am going to see all of the entries this weekend. will let you know if yours is there as soon as possible. 

  • Mercedes "La Marquesa"

    I hope to send out mail next Thursday probably.  Due to work I usually don't have enough time do it on a daily basis.  If I'm lucky I get 3-4 pieces started and then finish them the same day I send them out.

    How long has it been taking for you to receive mail from the U.S.? Will it take 3 weeks or much less?  Thanks again for accepting my frienship.

  • Michael Orr

    Yes of course, it will be my pleasure ! Thank you !

  • Alan Brignull

    You're welcome, Petrolpetal. That phrase came from an academic paper where they used it in all seriousness. I hope the authors don't see it and think I am making fun of their style (which I am, of course!)

  • Kim JungYoun

    Oh, thank you so much!
    I can't wait!!! (because I've never got mail from South Africa!)
    I'll let you know when I get it.
