I love writing and receiving letters and have recently closed my facebook account in order to concentrate on letter writing. These days, instead of posting on my facebook wall, I get people to write me by post and then I post everything on my REAL wall, and photograph it for upload to www.myrealwall.com
When I found out about the mail-art movement I realised that the wall, which itself is my work of art, was perfectly suited for incorporating other peoples art and decided that I would get involved in this community.
I am working on my own mail-art as well as actively involved in displaying any that I receive and I endeavour to write back to anyone who sends me anything.
Bring it on!

TY, Andy. The #365 piece could only go to YOU. The project was great fun! Thanks for being there. You will still continue to receive mail from me though. Can't escape that!
Hello, Andy! Will you pass on to Elena the news that my daughter has taken up quilling after seeing Elena's beautiful work? Jennifer took one look and said, "THAT'S what I want to do," and I don't think she's thought of anything else since she got the supplies. xxxoo Boo
Hi Andy and Elena...thank you for the collab postcard during the London Meet....I have something coming your way...it's great that you guys could get together....SUPER *!*
Hey steady on Andy... btw just got back from amazing cricket tour/holiday in Barbados and guess what... the tourist info booklet theme was vintage postcards! Keep an eye out for a Barbados stamp in plot 45 :>)
Here’s a UK postal experiment that I’m going to send two mailart birdies to (139 and tomorrow's 140) ... anyone else want to join in? You and Yours, BBC Radio 4 would like your help comparing the delivery times of first and second class post. --> http://bbc.in/MsGHrB We’d like you to send two letters or postcards, one with a first class stamp and one with a second class stamp, to: You and Yours, Dock House, Salford, M50 2BH. Please include your name and the date of posting. Two postcards or envelopes will do. Taking part should cost £1.10 (60p for a first class stamp, 50p for a second class stamp).You’ll be helping us with a UK-wide experiment, and we’ll feature the results in a programme soon.
The back and the contents.... i call it a "Scatter Package" about 100 spiders punched from various postcards - magazines & zombie comics... a few old mailart postcards...unused of course... some money from hell some zombies and toys stickers & buttons topped of with a healthy dose of bat & jack-o-lantern confetti
Hello Andy, thank you for the invitation. But eh... does that mean I have to maintain another blog when I post on 365 Mail Art? I need more time for Mail Art in the first place ;))
Yep - possums jump & when they land on your tin roof & then run across it - you'd swear they have hobnail boots on. We watch a mother & 2 babies walk across the neighbour's roof, on to the cable wire, through the trees & then on to the telephone wires. Our kookaburras are great too - not only do they laugh at some ungodly hour in the morning, we have lost goldfish to them. Woke one morning to a slapping sound on the front footpath - a kookaburra had pinched a goldfish out of our pond & was beating it to death on our footpath before taking it off to devour it! Gotta love wildlife!
I've received an email from the people at Real, who've apparently seen my blog and have invited me to join the project. Do you still have your plot there?
Hi Andy I hope to see you at the Tate Britain on the 5th at noon. At one oclock we have a huge table reserved at the Morpeth Arms, on Millbank going towards Vauxhall Bridge. Very good fish and chips there.
Hi Andy - keep in touch re your trip Down Under - if you get to Brisbane - there's a bed here for you both -we hope to be in UK in Sept/Oct to check out areas that Vic's ancestor's came from. So - hope we don't pass each other...
Let's hope we can coordinate - we'll only be away for 4-5 weeks - wouldn't want to miss the chance of showing you our neck of the woods. Hey - I'm an artist in residence for a Studio Crawl in May. This crawl takes place over 4 weekends & covers lots of miles. The one I'm involved in is with 6 or 7 artists - 3 in one town, Boonah, 1 in a small village, Aratula, about 15 minutes from Boonah & then 2 friends & I at Tarome, about 10 mins from Aratula. We hope people will come - if not we'll have a wonderful weekend of playing with textiles. My Mail Art will be strung around the studio - will send you the link when it's all up & running - just a little like the one we went on with you - well, sorta like it. There will be wine & nibblies involved, I'm sure.
Andy--Thanks for the postcard! (The "new" address is just for a post-box in town--so the old address you have still works, too.) I hope January has been kind to you & I'll send some mail your way before too long!
