"Hey Jenny! I received your AMAZING postcard today! You are a great talent! Thank you for your fantastic original work! I'm sending you mail! Hugs, Bonniediva"
"It's taken me time to appreciate it, but a real bonus in ADD&PASS for me, is that after the adding and posting, I'm left with no more than memories (just a digital image, because I'm obsessive). I'm always de-cluttering and…"

DECOS - Do you miss them?
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…See More
"Hey Sam! I'm so happy you liked my art and zine. Please share with me some of yours! Hugs and be well, Bonniediva"

- Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
- I'm a former actress and singer, now teacher and lover of life! I am a mixed media collage artist, specializing trash and vintage. I also love poetry, so many of my pieces include poems. I rescue old old poetry volumes from library sales, thrift stores, etc, and use the pages. I also do altered books, covering the pages of old weary books with life!
Irony and depravity are key, as I find humor in almost every aspect of life. I'm 56 with the mind of a 16 year old and the heart of a lion...originally from New Orleans, but now live near Chicago. I've been creating and sending MAIL ART all over the world since 2000. I'm an artist, teacher and writer. I special in trashpo and vintage collage. I also produce comic ZINES.
I don't like perfection... I like raw soulful art that does not shock for shock value.
I love pen pal letter, tacky postcards, and whatever you want to send me.
VINTAGE is my thing, and I love thrift stores, antique malls and Ebay (aka "the devil"). LOL!
SEND ME SOMETHING SOON AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED!

Why I Love Add/Passes!
Posted on January 22, 2020 at 6:19pm 4 Comments 4 Favorites
For Veteran Mail Artists and Newbies... here is why I love the Add/Passes:
1. I love the fact that they are COLLABORATIVE.
2. I'm a collage artist: I look at the add/pass and see what needs to be glued and where. I usually use something humorous or whatever scraps are lying around on my desk.
3. Cool to see what other people do to it.
4. I'm happy to send them on. I have a lot of stuff piling up in my studio, so it's nice to mail them away.
5. It's fun to…

This thank you is awfully late, as is my sending something to you! :-( But I want you to know I adored the zine and postcard you sent me! I was inspired by your zine to create one for a swap I'm in. Once my zine is printed, I'll send one to you. Thanks so much, again, for the awesome mail. I love it!
