Most of this haul is for the upcoming Maritime Mail Art, a show that I will hang tomorrow in Ipswich on the waterfront at the Theta Cafe in Ipswich (UK), just in time for the Maritime Ipswich event! http://ipswich-waterfront.co.uk/ipswich-maritime-festival-2014/ 

I think I have added two countries since the show on Cranberry Island, so have more than 20 contries represented.  Elaine Elliott, from Martham school in Norfolk, inspired a group of children who she took on a residential trip to Scarborough  This is the second time these students will have shown their mail art to the public in an exhibition I've hung! Huge thanks and congrats!

I won't have time to blog the individual pieces until they come down next week - for the moment you will need to be satisfied with a postage stamp view!  Many, many thanks!

Late to arrive but much appreciated Monochrome from Mariana Serban!

This will be hung in the upcoming exhibition on Cranberry Island at on the Ipswich waterfront.  Although I have a 'theme' for the call: Maritime Mail Art and Very Berrry Maritime Mail Art, I am accepting all interpretations.  Mariana's piece arrived shortly after the Monochrome, Semitone, odachrome exhibition had come down.  GREAT PITY, but I look forward to sharing this soon!Marian

Maritime Mail Art - A new Mail Art Call with two exhibitions on two continents

I'm excitied to announce a new mail art call that brings together two places that I call home.  At each venue I will be showing your mail art for a week .  The first exhibition will be on Cranberry Island  and the second exhibition will be during the Maritime Ipswich event at a cafe that is part of University College Suffolk, right on the waterfront where all the maritime action takes place! I will show all work submitted in both venues- free size, no fee, no sales, no returns.  Please label you entries with name and address so I can notify you that they have arrived! But please be patient, I can only be in one place at a time and mail art may be waiting for me at the other address! I look forward to your entries and will be publishing an online catalog at the end of the second exhibit.
