My REAL wall
my REAL wall - Postcards from us
text for your postThis is our final REAL wall for a while as Elena and I are going travelling. We've given up our jobs, sold everything we own and have put your postcards in storage. I've taken the address down for contributions to my REAL wall and want to thank everyone who's contributed over the years for all your excellent post.
So, with no fixed address, no income and a postcard and blogging habit to sustain, what's next?
I've set up our new travelling and postcard blog at www.postcardsfrom.us and will be selling postcards from us from wherever we go in the world! Get yourself over there and pick up a postcard from wherever in the world we are now!

my REAL wall photobooth edition
I met an old university friend this weekend who I haven't seen for a few years and we went out to the South Bank to catch up on old times.
I knew I had some postcards to put up on my REAL wall, so they came with me, and we went to the Festival of the World exhibition, which was running at the Royal Festival Hall.
They have a really cool little machine there, like a retro 4 photograph passport photo machine, but inside it's got a digital camera and it prints the 4 photos really quickly.
Anyway, they have this machine and a wall with plastic photo pockets, where people would put their photos after they were taken. The machine is free to use and the wall is rammed with photos, it's great.
I realised that we could make an artwork within an artwork with this, so me and Dave grabbed your post and sat in the machine passing post to each other to make this one - it was great fun!
Can you spot yours on here?

REAL post on REAL walls
Inspired by my REAL wall, this group is dedicated to the art of displaying your mailart on walls. If you've received mailart and have stuck it on a wall, then add your picture of your wall here. Descriptions and references to the artists of course of course would be appreciated.See More

- Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
- I love writing and receiving letters and have recently closed my facebook account in order to concentrate on letter writing. These days, instead of posting on my facebook wall, I get people to write me by post and then I post everything on my REAL wall, and photograph it for upload to www.myrealwall.com
When I found out about the mail-art movement I realised that the wall, which itself is my work of art, was perfectly suited for incorporating other peoples art and decided that I would get involved in this community.
I am working on my own mail-art as well as actively involved in displaying any that I receive and I endeavour to write back to anyone who sends me anything.
Bring it on!
