DECOS - Do you miss them?

Information

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 the postage. Then, the DECO world sort of died out. I’d like to see if any of you are interested. 

Let me know if you have questions! Hugs, Bonniediva

Add/Pass BOOKS are becoming popular 1 Reply

I've noticed that Add/Pass books are becoming more popular these days. Kinda like a deco. I love the freedom of being able to add anything I like.Continue

Two Decos arrived today from Bonniediva....One belongs to Diana Forth and the other belongs to The Introverted Post. I have worked on Both and they will be going home probably tomorrow or Thursday. I will post when I mail them out.

Two Decos hit my mailbox. Birds from Caroline and an envelope/stamp mashup from Samuel Montalvetti - sending on there way.

Hi Carolyn,

Hope you are doing well.

Received the Deco yesterday and it is now ready to go to someone else.

Hugs,

Norma

Thanks, Carolyn.  That's encouraging!

Just wondering - has anyone received a completed deco back?  How long did it take?
