# 190 - 194 // Final Freepost Experiments
Some more FREEPOST Experiments for Andy's plot at Real, that went into the postbox just in time for the closing party tomorrow.
# 190 - A sample tube with a dice inside, sent with the address written on the original label. Don't really know where the syringe-like doodles came from - I just got carried away with the Sharpies!
# 192 - Next up is this APC (altered playing card). Very simple, pretty small, and it went into the postbox like this...
# 190 - A sample tube with a dice inside, sent with the address written on the original label. Don't really know where the syringe-like doodles came from - I just got carried away with the Sharpies!
# 191 - I filled an old bit of plastic packaging full of pencil shavings, and the leftover stubby pencils, taped it shut and added an address label (written in pencil of course!)
# 193 - A painted CD sent on its way this morning.
# 194 - Mini painted canvas, with the address written on the back, went into the postbox (with a bit of a thud!)
That's all for the FREEPOST Experiments. It's been a lot of fun, and I hope another opportunity for experimenting comes up soon (escpecially if it's free!)
# 181 - 183 // Freepost Experiments v.2
More experiments on their way to Andy's freepost address plot at Real, London.
# 181 - A fruit tea teabag, in case of emergency. The address label was stuck to the back.
# 182 - One of the most unusual, maybe, this 'sample tube' contains a heart keyring. The address is written on the original label.
# 183 - A sushi box (of which I amass many) filled with fishy themed objects. I've taped the lid shut, and the address will be written on the base of the box, ready for posting tomorrow.
# 173 - 179 // Freepost experiments
This collection of 'items' have been posted out to Andytgeezer's Real plot. I'm making the most of the Freepost address by experimenting with Royal Mail to see what 'unusual' items make it through the post.
# 173 - Decorated Peg (for display purposes!) The address is written on the reverse of the tag.
# 174 - This is a cardboard tube (from the centre of a big masking tape roll) covered in security envelope. The address is written around the outside of the curved tube using a sharpie. This one isn't actually posted yet, because I couldn't fit it into the postbox! I have a volunteer to take it into the post office for me tomorrow, though!
# 175 - A polystyrene egg, decorated with gold paint and 3D fabric paint, then packaged in a clear plastic bag for postage. The address is written on the back of the 'label' on top.
# 176 // Matilda Mouse, the Wimbledon Wonder - a tiny card from a pack of SNAP cards, with an added little crown. The address is on the back, so I hope the little guy makes it!
# 177 // Good Luck! A bingo slip made from pretty lightweight paper, this might get a bit dog-eared by the time it makes it to London.
# 178 - 179 // 'Funny Old World'. A collage split into two - I'm going to send one half today and the other tomorrow... let's see if the lovely people at 'Real' are paying attention! :)
I have lots of other stuff I want to try out, so there'll be more to show later in the week!
