Recent Mailart Call

  The Summer Fun Mail Art Call is over and the contributions are archived on a static page on the right side bar if you want to look at them. I really appreciate the participation and enjoyed all of the Summer Fun mail I received! Thanks to all!
  Now it is time for me to do my part! I will be sending out my own Summer Fun post card as a thank you. I would also like permission from those who participated to include your mailing info in the documentation to the other participants. Let me explain why I include documentation... In the mail art community it is standard proceedure to send out some form of documentation at the completion of a mail art call. It usually includes the names (or moniker) and addresses of those who contributed, and possibly a photo/scan of each contribution. The reason for this is that mail art's roots are not in the internet, so the way broaden your mailing possibilities and meet new like-minded people was to participate in a mail art call and then use the documentation to find new friends to mail to. But since many people in this particular day and age are more reluctant to share their info, I will ask for permission before sending out documentation. If you mailed something for "Summer Fun", please leave me a comment or e-mail me at elle.mental@yahoo.com and let me know if you are OK with me sending out your info. If I don't hear from you, I won't include anything but you name on the documentation.
  For those of you who are waiting for my September Mail Art Mail Out, I am assembling them today and will be mailing them out very soon. I hope that this finds everyone well and having a good mail day!

  1. Hi Elle,

    Hope you're feeling better. I can relate, I have both spring and fall allergies. As for the Summer Fun Mailart, I'd prefer just my name and state listed please. Thanks! I look forward to seeing your Summer Fun postcard.
