How do I respond correctly to the "ATC Buddy Jam" note I got? I recently received a mail art packet that included a card with a picture on the front and a two-entry name and address list on the back, with only the first entry filled in. Do I add something to the picture, and then send it to the first person's address, and then add one of my own mail art friends' addresses to the second entry slot?

I really think that letter post will disappear Jennifer, so we would not be able to send paper post at all. A sad day.

Digital art has its charm too but I love the texture of different papers and even the smell.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on March 26, 2020 at 6:56pm

I think we will finish there unfortunately.

Postal prices are increasing every year to pay for costs, they say.

More likely to make money for the shareholders, I say.

Soon we will only be able to send parcels through the post at considerable price, I think

Vorrei chiedere, se pensate che la Storica Mail Art, possa oggi confluire

totalmente nel web, abbandonando la carta spedita. io ci stopensando

da tempo.  n/*p(

I sometimes post photos to iuoma here and in Facebook. Here when I can figure out where my photos are in my chrome book.
Comment by Mail Art Martha on January 21, 2020 at 6:45am

Jennifer- it is possible to move de photos and rearrange them once they are inside the album but it is quite fiddly and I have not the patience, or the time.  So not for me.

As to the trolley first I wrapped it in canvas and pinned the work on. Not very good. So I got a piece of stiff clear plastic and stuck them there with blue tack but the trolley got too small for the volume of Mail Art and I had to change the display every few days.

The door, so far, lasts for six to eight weeks and it is in a small porch so it is protected from the rain.

Yes Heide the photos can be sorted when all together but not the ones in an album. I have a link to an album from my mailartmartha.blogspot.com and would like to see first the most recent photo.

Like your Jennifer, I would like a better ordered display.

Comment by Heide Monster on January 19, 2020 at 12:35pm

On your page,  choose view all on the photos. There is a pull down menu on the right side  above the photos.  You can sort them by "latest", "random" or "most popular".
