Mail Art.

I have been meaning to do some mail art for ages and doing the postal art has inspired me to do some more. I am a product tester for Lush and whenever they send me products, they are sent using recycled potato starch squishy sticks that look like Wotsits (Cheese Puffs). I rang up Lush to find out what they where, it’s quite amazing. They buy the starchy water that is the by product of the potato washing in the Walkers factory and use it create this earth friendly packaging. These coloured biodegradable  squishy sticks always smell wonderfully of the products that they are packaged with. When you wet them they disappear and if you dampen them you can stick them together to form little people and creatures. I can’t bear to throw things away if I can use them so I have glue gunned them onto recycled cereal box card to produce some mail art. I am asking the receivers to send me some mail art in return and will post their work as soon as I receive it.
