There is a finite amount of space in my archive boxes, but I strive to save all the mail art I receive. Many artists include various ephemera, stickers, and other materials with their mail art. Things I might use in pieces I create myself. Many of the envelopes are works of art in themselves. Starting in January 2020 I began to use much of this material for a new artist book. I repurposed a large coffee table book that cost a dollar at a library sale of donated and books. Two and a half years later, the 140 pages are all filled up. Here are some photos of the completed book of mail art.
Soon I will start filling the next book.

It is a very creative way to present what is sent to you. And much more fun than a average coffee table book.
