MAIL ART NEWS

  incoming from C. Friesen

  incoming from Bridgette Nagel Bit of a format change for now. Putting in a lot of time and effort into a blog isn't guaranteed to bring a return on investment. While I did get positive feedback from a handful of readers, (which I am thankful for!) the general level of reader initiated engagement was low, resulting in lowered motivation on my part.  However, I don't want to abandon the project completely, and so I will be posting in a wayyy more minimalist style.  So, there ya go!

Anyway, I don't always have a full envelope's worth of art to mail out, so I decided to switch over to postcard mode for a while. Also waiting for my E.T. rubber stamp to show up from a seller on Craigslist. It's a picture of the alien E.T. saying "extra terrific"...probably used by a teacher in the 1980s. They said they mailed it! Must be a delay in my area.  arrived from Mail Art Archive Vienna I was lucky to get a copy. Only 100 were printed.
