Wow, she said that USPS has a 6% loss rate... That seems really high to me. I would have guessed less than 1%

Thanks penguy, lovely envelope art, and many other interesting articles too. It lead me to check the "Annoy a postman" -project openinkstand.tumblr.com/post/82998283550/annoy-a-postmanToo bad there are only a few examples. 6% of lost mail does sound very high! On the other hand, I have a penfriend in the US whose letters to me have now been lost two times in a row I've been corresponding with her for a couple years, and until earlier this year everything worked fine. But now the last two letters have just disappeared

She has some fun envelopes among other things. Thanks for the link.

I got lost in OPENINKSTAND blog which has moved since Catida posted the link above. Her work is just amazing. Those annoy the postman envelopes must have really annoyed and amazed the postal people, even I had a hard time reading the addresses lol. How good it is to be so talented to be able to calligraphy so well and illustrate! Off to visit her youtube channel

What fun! I have downloaded and printed two mail art envelopes. They could be used like aerogrammes if you felt lazy and didn't want to write a separate letter!

I'm off to a craft camp next month for 4 days, I'll be decorating envelopes for using to send in this group.
Its always a fun filled weekend and all meals cooked for us so thats a huge bonus.
