I LOVE to receive mail art and equally love to make mail art for others. Continuing mail art is also keeping with a family tradition. My Danish relatives always decorated their envelopes and included artwork on all their letters sent to Canada.

This is from Wikipedia: "Participants are invited by network members to take part in collective projects or unjuried exhibitions in which entries are not selected or judged. While contributions may be solicited around a particular theme, work to a required size, or sent in by a deadline, mail art generally operates within a spirit of "anything goes."[2] If you want to participate in a mail art call by sending mail art to Brazil I need your e-mail address. Mine is celestialscribe@unipazparana.org.br
Sue--may thanks for your comment re: the mail art book. I created this unique binding for Jon's postcards and my book-art buddies loved it. Just below the photos of it on Mypage IUOMA is a photo of a scroll that I made for a mail art exhibition. I occasionally make mail art books, but they are limited because of the time involved.
PS: Your primitive dolls are very unique-you have a very fertile imagination!
It has been a good week so far. I've received almost one a day since Monday. I've been busy making new friend, sending stuff out and trying new techniques. I am not always so fortunate to find the time I'd like. If it was up to me, I'd make art all day long, stop just long enough to eat a bit, and/or go out for more supplies if I run out. I think I work slow compared to some of you who send out incredible amounts of mail art. I don't know how you all do it. I wish I could work faster, but then it would be like work, and I want it to be "fun". But I would like to be always caught up, and I realize that will only happen once in a while, when I have the time and if I don't get a avalanche of mail. Not that I've ever gotten an avalanche, but it sure would be fun to find my mailbox stuffed with mailart. I imagine that's every mail artists dream. Am I right?
Sue, I just got your tiny journal today. I love it--and the envelope was amazing, too! It has already given me some ideas (both the journal and the envelope).

Sue, are you familiar with what a mail art call is?

Careful, Sue. Do not reply to this Malida...it looks like SPAM!

Hey Sue,
