Bus, Bob Dylan, and a Bunch of Goodies! Yep...so surprised to see this mail art from Ed Giecek! Thanks, Ed! Love it!

The school bus on front, "Peace," and "Ed'z Magic Word Wheel" on back are so cool and original! I love to run my fingers across these stamps, and feel the texture. My hubby (who is also named Ed), really likes the Dylan stamps!

For this newbie, it is the third piece of mail art I have received. And just when I thought I was understanding things here on IUOMA - I see the "Add & Pass" stamp that accompanies the goodies inside.

So now silly me has some questions. I'm wondering...

* Do I add to the goodies inside, and forward them to the person whose name / address is included in the envelope?

* Do I make mail art using the enclosed goodies, and then send it to said person?

* Do I keep the goodies for myself, and send something to Ed G. and to said person?

* Do I do something else that I am not aware of? 

* Or perhaps the "Add & Pass" stamp is simply a decoration, and no action is needed...

some...none...or all of the above, Jayne. Usually add to the AddPass page and return to sender if full, or on to another mail artist if you wish. All the goodies are for you to keep , or add to other mail art sendings, or create a piece and send back to Giecek. It's all up to you. Mail art is sent as a "gift" and it becomes the possession of the recipient to save and treasure, to put in an archive, to recycle and send on to others...whatever , there are no limits to mail art :-)

(always fantastic block printing by Ed Giecek, and me too luv Dylan stamps)
