Off to the Post Office!

I'm headed to the 40216 post office to mail 21 domestic and 13 international pieces of mail art.  Countries my art is going to this time include Uruguay, Trinidad and Tobago, Belgium, South Africa, Singapore, Poland, and Romania.

It's a big world and an eternal network. I'm so happy to be part of it.

Observation 50, Mailart 365 /365

365 / 365 / 50 of 50 observations on Mailart 365:  Oh, what a night, what a day, what a year!

Observation 49, Mailart 365 /364

365 / 364 / 49.  The exuberance of mail artists is unrelenting, as is their creativity.

Observation 47, Mailart 365 /362

365 / 362 / 47.  The joy of color.

Observation 46, Mailart 365 /362

46.  The pleasure of finding new uses for art forged in earlier fires.

Observation 45, Mailart 365 /360

365 / 360 / 45.  Persistence is its own reward.

Observation 44, Mailart 365 /359

365 / 359 / 44.  Fabric you never knew existed.

Observation 43, Mailart 365 /358

43.  How else could I justify sending you pictures of my good dog?

Observation 42, Mailart 365 /357

42.  A little light in the darkness, and a little mail in your own mailbox.

Observation 41, Mailart 365 / 356

41.  Stamps are appropriate mail art decor.  Stamps postmarked from the home town / home island of the artist are especially delightful.

Observation 40, Mailart 365 /

40.  Always new.

Observation 38, Mailart 365 /353

38.  Sharing -- on your terms.

Observation 38, mailart 365 / 353

39.  Mailart:  many different languages.

Observation 37, mailart 365 / 352

37.  Opportunities to share chickens are rare outside the mail art community.

Observation 36, Mailart 365 /351

36.  After all this time, I'm worried that when I reach 365, ideas for more mailart will still be bristling and tripping over each other in my head and on my desk.

Observation 35, Mailart 365 /350

35.  You learn your joy through the search.

Observation 34, Mailart 365 /349


34.  Geography, one postmark at a time.
