MAIL ART!!!! I know you want it!
Earlier this week I sent off a piece of mail art to a fellow Xangan.
I haven’t heard from her if she has gotten it yet, so I won’t post pictures of it just yet.
I will post some things I have sent off in the past though and didn’t show you.
Yes, Its an altoid tin. I mailed it just like this, the recipients address is painted on the back.
This one was a Burger King toy I shamelessly stole from my child.
When we were in line and I handed it to the post master, my little monster said “Hey! I have one just like that! ”
to which I replied “Not any more! “
I’m not completely horrible… I replaced it for him!
When you move the red handle the brain lights up and gurgles…
Around the outside in silver I put…
I felt a cleaving in my mind -as if my brain had split- by E.D.
And
What other people think of me really is none my business. by Rue Paul
Probably my favorite piece as of yet.
ToAST
I soaked it in ten coats of polyurethane.
When I went to the post office to mail it the P.M. sneered and said ” That won’t make it!”
To which I said “Sure it will” And conked it on the counter.
He mailed it!
I think this one needs a follow up piece.
BuRNT ToAST
I have more but I will save them for a slow blog day.
Any one interested in MAIL ART?

yes! definitely!!!!! that is so cool?
but let me get this straight. you mail AS IS???? no envelopes?
You are a crazy woman,I love the altoids tin!
@lilms_sassy - YES! As IS… no envevelopes. It has to be above 3×3 inches or they won’t mail it… that’s about it.
I am STILL working on something for you. I keep getting sidetracked by this pesky thing called work!
It sounds a cool idea, I do not think my parents will be happy if I borrow a couple of tins to do some of this mail art.
These are fantastic! I would love to receive mail art.
I still need to send you one ,huh?
The juice bags did not count cuz they were in a box and I didn’t make them ,huh?
@seedsower - OH NO! Your covered! I am still doing yours though… I keep changing it because it isn’t like anything I’ve done before… its interactive.
Anyway… I will definetily get it to you before I get to you! lol
I want one…………I love it……..ROFLMAO.
I’ve never seen mail art before…at least before you started writing about it.
I want mail art! I’ll message you my address, and you can tell me how to respond/play. K?
U R soooo funny! That is great! So you just mail random things to people or what?
Wowie!!! It came! I really, really love it. What a wit you are. I will display it prominently and brag constantly! What a special friend. Thank you, thank you, thank you! *Twirling, laughing and clapping*
Hi! I’ve seen you on other sites I sub to, so I hope you don’t mind me stopping by. What a cool idea! I’d love to see the mailman’s face as he’s handling your mail art!
I love that about the toast, especially!
Haha. These are awesome!
I bet your the favorite person down at the USPS…….ilym…have a great weekend Ang!
Ang I have never heard of this!!! Now you got me thinking, what would I figure out to mail??? I think its a riot, and I bet the post office people just wonder what is next!!!
You are wildly creative! I love it!
@MotherOPearl - YEAH! I’m so glad you got it! Sorry it took so long. I will be posting it tomorrow for all to see!
Oh!… I see how it is!… You have been holding out on us!…
“Not any more!”… That is hilarious!… Sounds like something I would do.
I love the quotes, especially what other people think of me… is none of my business.”To which I said “Sure it will” And conked it on the counter.” LOL… I find this hilarious!I love that word, “conked”.dan
I need a red handle to make my brain gurgle. Could you please send me one?
Mail art?? I have to admit I have never heard of this before. Very different, indeed! I would LOVE to get mail art. Could it be a portrait of Grover Cleveland with numbers around it?? I don’t get to see much of that president! Hmmm…..probably would never make it to my house, huh?
It starts with mail art.
Next the mailman sees it.
Mailmen are not normally art lovers.
The Mail Carrier gets judgemental.
Next thing you know, a post office in Michigan is on the news.
Thanks! What can I say? I like big cunt-y flowers.
You are so clever! FINALLY someone found a good use for Altoids tins!
Happy Leap Day to you!!
Alicia
thats so cool! i love all of them
i wanna make pretty altoid tins now, lol
i generally like to see other peoples ideas, think about making something of my own, and never get around to it…
sadly i am extremely uncreative and unartistic
Well, I’m still waiting your reply about size.
Way to stick it to the sneering man . . .
You are very creative. I never heard of mail art before reading your blog. But then again. I never hear of art-o-mat either before you.
Alright, MotherOPearl got it – show us pics of what you sent this time, pls. =)
I know I’m off topic here but regarding naming- I’ve always been impressed that Clark and Lewis didn’t go about naming every stinking thing after themselves. They kept the names of the party out of it, with the exception of naming a river after the member of the party who died there. Sargeant Floyd, probably from appendicitis.
I am SO IMPRESSED by your imagination as well as your ability to pull it off….so enjoyed the pictures….the toast one knocks my socks off…. and mailing them just blows me away. I’d say I was speechless, but then I would be lying
THAT has never happened
I find altoid tins made into caches, but till today, not into mailart. I really need to find something to send you so I can get my own piece of mailart. I’m feeling the NEED to get some mailart.
that is TOO COOL.
