OMGosh – they are all so beautiful! I would not have thought the postal (machines?) would be able to decipher. Very cool!!
As a 30 year postal employee, I’d like to respond to Paulette. The postal sorting machines cannot read those beautifully decorated envelopes. They are kicked out of the mailstream which is powered by optical scanners, barcodes and automated handling.They then must be handsorted all the way down the line. If the postal service gets privatized, these sort of nonmachinable letters will cost you a pretty penny over the standard postage. Sad but true!
Meanwhile, the post office charges the same for these as they do for first class mail—and nobody at my local post office has ever said a discouraging word about any mail art I’ve sent.
These are amazing!
