Lovely postcard from Mail art Martha. Thanks so much. I think the driver of this truck is just wonderful. I didn't take a photo of the other side, but she drew me a dog with brown patches, a picket fence with roses, and my favorite, feet with socks and sandals.  Thanks again…

Mike always sends cool stuff that is very thought provoking...Mike says "It was 13 years after Marilyn Monroe's death before Peter Lawford was interviewed by police and talked of his phone conversation with her on the final night."

This piece is very large...too large for my scanner, so it is broken down into pieces...the photo of Marilyn has a cover of wax over her; but from being send thru the mail allot of the wax was broken off.

I'm still new here.  Would someone please explain the correct protocol for posting pictures of mail art.  Do I post pics before I send swaps & jams out or is that the responsibility of the receiver.  Should I post a before & after pic of a buddy jam?  Do I post the pics at the group page or at my own page or the page of my fellow swapper?  I've probably already done it wrong.   I have received jams from Toni H, William M,  Linda F.  I have also received lovely swaps from Prairie…
