    surrounding mail-art. The film looks to discover why slowing down
    through the postal service in this fast paced world really means a great deal.

    Anything with John Held Jr. in it is well worth watching.

    I watch lots of TH-cam videos. A lot of them were craft or DIY related and more recently mixed media. I would see them get what they called happy mail. It was usually in a bubble mailer and was just some crafty gifts. I did a swap once on a crocheting site. It cost a little but was so much fun. But once I starting seeing all the happy mail of the mixed media artists, I was floored. I loved it because I could see a little gift and not spend much money. Then I saw a video where someone had a decorated envelope and a few small gifts inside and they called it mail art. I was just amazed. I loved it. I have only sent one piece so far but plan to send loads more.
    I would love to send or swap mail art with anyone from the video. That would just be so awesoe!! Amazing movie!! Loved it so so much!!

    Great Documentary and long overdue. Thank you for producing this video and showing how postal mail can be made more interesting. Global Penfriends has just added "Mail-Art Pals" as a type of contact members can search for.

    This so cool! I didn't know this was a thing, it's just what I did. Wish I had taken pics of all the art mail I've made. :)

    I've been waiting for the documentary to come out for a while so it was an absolute joy to finally watch it.
    Now I feel the need to ask a really dorky question - which black pens do the people in this video tend to use?

    • @makingco8296
      @makingco8296  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh, good question! We'll ask and see!

    sprinkling glitter inside letters and envelopes is just wrong!

      Our producer/editor Seth would likely agree after it was all over his apartment last year!

    really don't like the bad music and over-use of the vocal fry and the word "like"
