... postal experiment failed in a way ...

this card I have thrown twice into the mail box, the first time it came without any postal cancelation, the second time the little angels got two stamps but with postal due - the handwritten 96 means I should pay 96 euro cents, which I haven't paid, so it failed and it failed not...

... Artomat Project ...

Finally I found one of these old cigarette machine (here one from the 1970ies) which will be integrated in the mail art exhibition on the topic Otto von Bismarck - I will us it as an ARTOMAT. I will pick them on thuesday and hopefully it will work fine. I hope I can find some artists who will participate in this interactive project, you can send your multiples in (at least 10) for this ARTOMAT, it must be fit inside a cigarette box. (size ca. 86 x 55 x 22 mm) - your art work can be related to Bismarck (this would be fine) but not necessarily. Each multiple should be signed and addressed, so maybe the buyer could get in contact with you. Each participant of this ARTOMAT project will get a free copy of the mail art catalogue which will be published in the end of May. Yes, I finally got the fundraising for it - that's the good news.

arriving mail art from Carla Cryptic (USA)

arriving mail art from Carla Cryptic (USA) - Carla has sent this in for the pink correspondence school (see here: http://pink-correspondence.blogspot.com/) but she used a valid postage stamp and not the official pink card for "advice of delivery", this is against the principle, so it can not be accepted there. Nevertheless thanks for the postcard.
