Firstly, a HUGE thanks for those that participated in the EC Mail Art Exchange project, I thoroughly enjoyed receiving such wonderful and inspiring pieces (visually and sonically!). I’ve dabbled in Mail Art on and off for a few years now, the act of physically making, writing and dispatching a postcard/letter/object to a friend or fellow artist on the other side of the world is always a rewarding experience. Not forgetting, the delight of arriving back home and discovering mail art goodies stuffed in your letterbox!

Michael, thanks so much for posting all the beautiful and cool pieces that you received. It's interesting to see how our collective interest in sound and music is reflected in the repeated images of birds, water and llamas! Very poetic-- just like Mr. T.S. Eliot as pictured in Jeremiah's Welcome to the Wasteland postcard.
