Travelling Collage Book Fun Time with Hugh Brisman!

A long ass time ago, I traded some mail with Hugh Brisman. He sent me a couple add n' pass books in his package. Here's some evidence of the damage I did, along with seemingly several other mystery artists!

Two Sealed Packages

And you'll never know what's in them, unless you're Kira Daube or Mary England.

Long Gone

These mail bits went into the post about 3 months ago. I was housesitting a beautiful one bedroom apartment in the best neighbourhood in Halifax. A cat lived there who was easy to please and it was a nice three weeks in that home. I was able to get a lot of mailing done. It was just one of those places with good vibes seeping out the floorboards.

Here's what the mail bits looked like:

Received in the Post

All of these RECEIVED MAIL posts should soon be warranting a SENT MAIL post.

Soon, I assure you, soon. But I've been busy working on my small business Varity Concert and I need to make some money before I can buy some stamps!! In the meantime, here's some visual delights I've gotten in the past couple of weeks:





A great short story in a beautiful envelope from Michael. I love a good read.





Cool stuff in a cool ziploc in a cool envelope from Karen Champlin




Fun times goodies from Shirley on sendsomething.net. She says that business is real slow over there, wouldn't it be nice to throw a dog a bone and send her something in the mail?





And a fine-ass, packed-to-the-brim, oddly shaped envelope from Valentine Mark Herman in beautiful France. Filled with exactly what it says: Mail art miscellant. Delights like business cards, stamps and plastic bits. The possibilities are endless.

BIG END OF THE YEAR MAILING!

At the end of 2012, I sent out many packages to many of my favourite corresponders.

I really felt like a lacked in the mail art department for most of 2012 and this was my way of making it up to people who sent to me, regardless of weather I responded promptly or at all. For that, I thank you. One and all.

I've been a little late on the documentation, but here it is!

Recently Received Mail from KIRA

Friend of all friends, Kira is my main gurl. This can be tricky when she lives an hour away, but we keep things fresh and exciting by sending THE BEST MAIL to each other.

For example:






And inside, a heartfelt letter with lots of secrets and THIS:





A handmade sticker alphabet, hand drawn by the typographical prowess. Now I have to be honest with you, I will probably NEVER use this alphabet and save it in the archives for forever because it's just THAT GOOD. Thank you Kira!!

Ben Sends the Best Mail

Ben is my best friend. Coincidentally, he sends the best mail.
The formula makes sense.





Zines n' drawings n' photocopies, oh my!







If he saw this, perhaps it would encourage him to send me more.

Department of Zeroes

This package contains many letters I have written to Jen and never sent.
