Mailart 365 has moved
Thanks for visiting Mailart 365. This site is an archive of mailart produced by artists doing mailart 365 from December 2010 to August 2016. As of July 2016, we moved to a new and more modern site at www.mailart365.com. Come on over and check us out there
The end of Jan and the start of Feb
And yet another film inspired piece!
Oh boy, a mass mailing is in order!
I am quite eclectic in many things in life and music being one. I love ALL types of music and the NY Dolls I really do have an affinity for, I hope the recipient of this one enjoys it. I thought about sending it to myself as a 365 # in our series but I guess i will let it go!
To the UK with love...
So I hadnt planned on creating any Valentine-ish mail art but I think this one will qualify. I am really happy with how this one turned out.
End of Jan continued...
All going to some special folks in our 365 clan. I will re-tag with the actual #ers later.
The end of Jan 365's...
Some images were just meant to be together! The Monkee's (stamp's) I found in my moms old posters and stuff she used to have hanging in her room as a teen. Its repeating images of the long ago, but not forgotten Monkees, Davy, Micky, Michael and Peter....a few more
The Beatles card is going to my mom who ,like many Baby boomers, was and still is a Beatles freak. She wasnt allowed to go and see them on their '65 US tour when they played at the (open air) Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington MN, now the location of the Mall of America. She said she and some friends sat on the fence surrounding the stadium parkinglot, I'm sure with thousands of others who didnt get in to see the Beatles, and listened to the deafening screams.
#ers 31, 28 & 25
I am taking old school photographs of some of the pieces I have done with my Blackbird Fly camera and will post those up sometime in the future thats why I have so many gaps in my sequence. Also its fun to send surprises. Iam super happy with how the "Organic Materials" piece turned out, its the first I have done with a needle, thread, fabric and yarn. Like I said on IUOMA, people (including my mom) who art fabric artists inspire and facinate me! The piece took FOREVER to accomplish and I have NO idea where my thimble is!
#ers 21, 22 & 23
The "Flying Saucers" is going to Russia. the image is from a UFO magazine from the 60's. The magazine is all about how to identify flying saucers and what aliens will look and be like when (or if) they land on Earth.
#ers 17, 18 & 19
I love # 18, its so simple and the images blended together so well, its made up of 4 different images including a new Beach Boys CD cover art from a "newer" album of theirs.
Catching up....need to do a mass mailing
Here are a couple more. I'm not positive to whom I am sending "Say Cheese". The "Organic Materials" I know where that one is going, its my first piece that I have used fabric, needle and thread on so I'm excited to send it off. Much more images to come, I am reduced to taking photos of my stuff with my not-so-great camera on my phone and uploading through Flicker. Hopefully I will be able to scan all of my images in soon and catch up to all on the 365 blog!

#ers 11,12,13 & 15I forgot to scan or photograph 10 and 14....I am hoping the recipients will upload pics of these as I am working on a final "collective" piece of my 365's.
Catching up...
#ers 6,7,8 & 96 and 7 I am particularly happy with. I am a film studies student with a passion for Iranian film and film history. I think almost every piece I have created to date has an element of film in it.
#8 of 365
#8 of 365. So far this has been a fantastic journey of 365! I'm really enjoying the pieces I have made and sent and loving the ones received. Opening my mailbox and visting the post office has been so much fun! I'm looking forward to the ones to come and to go!
Rani's Girls of 365...
Just a small teaser of what else is out there. Sorry I havent been posting much, my internet connection is total *expletive deleted* and uploading images at the moment is a nightmare...soon to be corrected! Happy Holidays everyone and I'll "post" ya in the new year!
#'s 4 and 5 of 365
#4 was received by Snooky & Angie, sorry 'bout the postage due! My resolve to the postage due issue will be to visit the post office with everything that I am mailing, thankfully I live within minutes of several offices so not a problem. What is the current postage rate for a post card size piece? Card stock and glue sticks dont cause weight issues, but then again i am new to the post card size...I normally work in a 8.5x11 scale. Either way this has been a fantastic adventure so far!
#3 of 365...Rani
I'm liking this post card size. I normally work in an 8.5 X 11 scale but the cards allow me less time to mutter over it and just do it! I was slightly influenced by a film my brother and I watched last night before I did this piece, " Watcher in the Woods" its a Disney flick from 1980. It's wonderfully crazy and by no means your typical horror film but its DISNEY and slightly occultish! And it has Betty Davis!
Mailing the 1st of 365 pieces....
I am currently at work "working" so no uploads as of yet. Bear with me, I'm new to all of the blogging as well! Happy 1st day of 365 days of art everyone!
