Here's an interesting book for mail artists you might want to look for. Written in 1996 & based in the UK, but fun to look at & lots of ideas.

William M, here's another good one: Envelopes by Harriet Russell which shows some very creative addressing ideas. Also out of the UK.

that looks like a good companion to the jeremy cooper book "artists' postcards" which even has a section on mail art featuring some IUOMA members.

I have that book! It’s a good one. The envelopes are so inspiring…I need to work harder :)

Thank you, TREATH.

That’s a lovely initiative.

It might actually be a great suggestion for me personally, since I really don’t like decorating envelopes. In fact, I even find writing addresses to be quite a chore. I actually had a strange experience once, where someone's address from Iuom really annoyed me at first. So I wondered how a person could dislike someone's address... I’d better stop here... there might be a psychoanalyst on the platform 😄🤭❗

Just a little joke, but the thank you is sincere.
