Lovely Heather, thank you! I’ve added you to the list. I’ve also created a Facebook group for the collaboration, where participants can share the process, updates, and completed booklets.

Who would like to join a small mail art book-collaboration?

I’m collecting small, discarded booklets and giving them a second life through collage. They measure approximately 12 × 8.5 cm (4.7 × 3.3 inches), and each participant fills one double-page spread and sends it by post.

The format fits inside a standard envelope, keeping postage costs low.

Whether you have joined before or would like to take part for the first time: who would like to be added to the list?

Here you can see an example:

Or you can also see some examples in the group where completed projects, especially booklets, are posted and archived:

I have two little books (both fit in a normal envelope). They are ready to travel on. 

One started by Valentina Cozzi and one started by C.Canfeld. Candidates?

I've been a little away from IUOMA for a couple of months. But I'm back. Please count me in for a round-robin related to Mail Art Books. Thanks!

Erin and Susan, I will send you an e-mail in a few minutes, just so you have a contact point for me other than my mailing address. Discussion might be easier then (especially because I still can't send messages on the ning).
Comment by Erin Morse on February 16, 2021 at 7:05pm

I'm interested, Susan and Mel Anie. I would be happy to contribute a book or another format to pass. Place is always a theme I'm interested in.

I love a small group round robin like this, Susan. Please count me in for books and I'm happy to hear your ideas. I like it when each person sends a starter so there are four books in motion at the same time. Each book can have its own 'theme' and everyone ends up with a book at the end.
