You never know what you’ll find in a dollar store, especially if it is a 25 Pesos store in Mexico. Big stacks of Mexican play money was one of my best discoveries in 2017 — it immediately was incorporated into some mail art I sent from Mexico. I came home and began sharing the play pesos with other artists for their own mail art. This summer I sent a new batch of Meximail and included a few faux pesos in each envelope.
What a great surprise when William Mellott incorporated some of the play money and sent it back. This gets me thinking, I need to start including American play money when I send mail art off to other countries. I hope other artists start sending me some play money from their countries too. Yen, Krona, Pounds, Australian Dollars, I want it all. And now, off to find a dollar store….
