Because my friend Matt asked me this the other night, I had to think about it. His is painting a blue sky and some clouds, then he waits to see if anything more comes. His skull for Skull Appreciation Day was just the blue sky & clouds cause…Continue

Who will you send  your first piece of mail to? I've been thinking about this a lot. Will it be someone in this group? Will it be one of the many mail artists I've exchanged MA with over the years? Will it be one of my letter writing friends, or my…Continue

Significant dates for the diary (some might say...) 41 Replies

McFloozy mentioned Quack Day in February and I had a message from Valentine Mark Hermann telling me of an anniversary in February. I figured that it would be best to put all the dates in one discussion, so anyone could contribute and we could all…Continue

Thanks, Mim!  I'll check blogger & see what I have to do.

Prettylily, go to "settings" and scroll down to see your address to post to "ning" from a mobile device. I post to my blogger blogs like MailArt 365, using a mobile setting but it's a different one than ning. You go to the account on blogger to find your information for that. Hope this makes sense.

Ok, How do I post to the blog from my Droid or get a photo on this page?  Mim wrote about it, but I can't seem to find it.  Anyone know where or what page #?  I've been paging through and can't seem to hit the right page.

I can't change my theme. I thought about that in the spring and then decided I had to finish what I started. It is a singular obsession that has to be satisfied.

Hey Postmuse,  Sometimes people have too much food AND NEED to go minimal.  Hee, hee.  You can change your theme anytime you want.

300 done!  280-ish posted on my blog.  200-ish mailed.  13 partly made.  I think the final whatever number it is will be holiday themed so I can send them to Holiday Mail for Heroes, the Red Cross project for vets and their families.

Just popping in to thank Andy for this project. Almost one year now. Wow!

 

I am making mailart every day. Really. Just having a devil of a time with posting ... both to the blog and with the USPS! My goal is to get all the mailart I've made mailed by the 1st of December, and eventually get it all documented on the MA365 blog. 

 

I really regret deciding on my food/beverage only challenge because it has sorely limited my creativity. Not that I don't think what I have made is creative ... it is ... and I had fun making it ... but I saw so many ideas for mailart over the year and I didn't jump on them because I couldn't fit the ideas to my food/beverage theme. Next year I'm just going to do mailart and not limit myself to a theme. 

 

I don't regret challenging myself to mail my 365 pieces to 365 different people, though. I loved that challenge! However, I won't do that again because my other correspondence suffers. It has been a rough year for keeping up with mail, especially with mail from mailartists. 

 

Thank you again Andy and all the rest of you wonderful MA365 participants for the encouragement and, of course, fantastic mailart!

Do any thing daily, do anything daily, do it. Make a book of it. Keep track in a blog or not. Just do it daily. Daily practice is good for creativity. At the opening to his art exhibit in NYC, I got to meet Noah's rep. and found out how she actually approached Noah about pitching his book (the first one.) She saw something about his skull-a-day on Boing Boing. Networking really works, and the internet has made so many things possible. Now to catch up from being away. Must post the mail art I just made, and then get back to painting tiny landscapes for my Art-o-Mat project. AND don't forget to put your name in for the drawing of my MailArt365 rubber stamp if you are on the 365 path.
