I'm so happy I stumbled across this book in the library. I love it! The photos are lovely, the artworks delicious and the book is pure fun.
- It sets down rules: among them, "no returns" - yay!; "give as good as you get"; "document".
- It spells out the 10 commandments. My favorite: Thou shalt be irreverent.
- It gives plenty of advice (the 7 seven sins of mailing; 7 suggestions for shepherding your mail art safely to its destination) and
- there are great tips and reminders on looking out for inspiration, collecting junk (oh dear, I see I'm going to need another house to store more of all that wonderful collectible treasures I'm going to be picking up)
- It shares techniques for paper folding, making your own stamps and stencils, etc etc...
- and of course it gets you started on designing and creating your wonderful mail art.
Time to make some cards, envelopes and stuff to send to the rest of the world.
5+++ !!
