MESSAGES, COMMENTS, NOTICES


Hi!  And Welcome!  You've come to the right place to post a message, contact another  mail art swapper, make a comment, ask a question, acknowledge receipt of some art-in-the-mail.  First names and last initials would be best.


Did you receive something wonderful in the mail and don't know how to thank the artist?  Have a question?  Feel free  to leave a message here for that person.  

You can check for messages from your swap partner(s) and occasional announcements by your Group Swap Moderator here.  Please scroll down toward the bottom of this page for the most recent messages.  I usually clear messages that are over a month old.

Let's use first names and last initials in our comments, as some have requested.

Hello mail art swappers, Just a reminder that if your post card art is much thicker, stiffer or heavier than the post cards the USPS sells, it will require extra postage and/or protection (i.e. being sent to your swap partners in envelopes). I sometimes combine several artists'' out-going art in an envelope for two reasons: to protect delicate layered art, and/or to save a bit on postage. If you grasp each (short) side of your postcard and it will not flex, expect the postage to cost more. Please ask your area postal clerk if you have any questions or concerns about the best way to mail in your art. Thank you. Honi

Just a note: home-crafted envelopes made with book pages or magazine pages usually hold up fine through the mail, but some light-weight magazine pages tear quite easily. GLUES used on some coated papers may not hold the
edges together. Recently a swapper's envelope fell apart in my hands, (The enclosed art seemed to all be there.) so I taped the right and left edges of the envelope closed to keep the swapper's art from continuing to slide out. Keep on making art :) Honi

Good Morning All. I have received my "Blue" cards. Very nice! Thank you to: Susan F-R., Ellen D. M-B., and, LaDonna R. (from Karen M./New Orleans)

Thank you Margaret R. for your wonderful holiday card. I apologize that I am late in acknowledging it. I love the collage elements and your vintage woman highlighting the card. Hope you are well and enjoying your weekend. Spring is sprouting in Williamsburg. Best wishes for more art in your life, Ellen

Hello, Artists! I’ve acquired a huge mixed collection of cancelled USA and Canada postage stamps, most still on envelope corners. Looking to re-home some of them to creative folks who will put them to good use!
Please email me if you are interested in receiving a generous handful of mixed used USA and Canada postage stamps to root through and play with. I will pay to mail them to you, but would like to request that you send me 2 separate pieces of snail mail in exchange within the next 6 months or so (I do love getting snail mail!)… maybe you’ll even mail me something made with postage stamp art, but it’s not a requirement ;)

Please note: This is a limited time offer based on supplies and an eventual need to get these stamps out of my house! Thank you for understanding.

This is a very late thank you to those of you whose Holiday Cards I received. I loved every one of them, so thank you all for putting them in the swap. And so, thanks to Susan J.R., Margaret R., Sarah C., and Honi!!
