When I send mail art, I never how the postal service will handle it. Sometimes the recipient gets it with a postmark across the image.   I like when this happens, I feel it authenticates the piece as mail art.See More

ABC BOOK at Mail to Bonniediva

July 16, 2023 to July 15, 2024
I love to make ABC books… like the kind you see for children, but instead of the usual “A is for Apple,” I like to use obscure words not usually found in a child’s ABC book, like “A is for Anxiety,” “B is for “Bacchanalia,” “C is for Chihuahua,” etc. Please join me in creating this masterpiece of whimsy! To be clear: you create one page of anything starting with your letter. The size of your page doesn't matter. Then you send me your page and I add it to my ABC book.Then I photograph/scan the…See More

Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I appreciate thoughtful and creative mail art and enjoy making and sending it. Please note, if you wish to include me in any add-n-pass projects, please make sure they are something with a theme and not simply an excuse to mail flotsam and jetsam around the world. I have receive too many add-n-passes that feel like old fashioned chain letters. When those arrive, I am no longer adding and/or passing.

Found a few very old aerogrammes that I used to send from Istanbul and from Greece,"back-in-the-days".

So a few on their way to you, perhaps they were the earliest form of my "mail art", as there were no greeting cards to be bought back then, so I had to decorate aerogrammes!:

Thanks for the memories :-)
