Greetings Mail Artists
As I am on some learning curve with blogging . . . I now seem to have discovered a few new things about placing info and documents . . .

Thanks for all those that have sent mail art so far for the Mailmania 2 Show. What a delightful way to enter into a conversation with the global community and with one's own surround. I have made friends at the post offices in the neighbourhood and they have become very helpful in whatever mailing I challenge them with.

As of today (12 July 2006) There are 85 pieces of mail art . . from 11 countries and just over 50 artists!

I look forward to hearing from you. Spread the word . . .

best,
Dale Roberts

What a surprise this was . . . a pair of coveralls well bundled in duct tape . . that would have easily fit me 10 years ago . . had to have someone help me into it and try not to breathe out for the photo . . .These will no doubt have to be part of the Mailmania Archives . . . as much as I would enjoy wearing them.
Thanks Carole
