With the end of the year 2007 my mail art call about
socks & stockings has elapsed -
thanks to all for the beautiful participations I got.
Never dared to hope that it will be this successful - this blog will remain as a kind of an online documentation.
I'm not sure whether all the mail art will be shown once in a real exhibition, but if so, I will inform you as soon as possible.
See as well my second mail art call : http://andreas-hofer.blogspot.com/

Have a nice time - a nice mail art time.

arriving mail art "Der Bismarckhering" from Angela Behrendt (Germany)



arriving mail art "Der Bismarckhering" from Angela Behrendt (Germany) - it is a wonderful stitched fish which is related to the name of the famous politician Otto von Bismarck, which will become probably my new mail art call in future - it depends on some discussions with the Museum of Bismarck in the nearby town, because I want to have first a consent of this museum that there will be an exhibition in future on this theme. We will see - I think this is a wonderful start and for sure I will bring it with me to the museum to demonstrate how nice mail art could be. Maybe it helps. If you like you can sent me as well some mail art about Otto von Bismarck, but at the moment it is not an official mail art call yet. I will inform you later.
Thank you Angela for the first submission.
