Can you mail an old sock?

Yes, of course you can.  And, it would be best to wash it first (which I did).  This sock is on the way to France for a mail art call.   The theme is Past, Present & Tomorrow and the piece must include some textile element. Why an old sock?  Well, I always like to recycle and re-use. Old socks get worn out (past) and full of holes (present) and can end up in the rag bag (tomorrow) to be used for dusting your knick-knacks, or in this example, cleaning unused ink off my rubber stamps.

Library Recycling

Start with a cover that is all that remains of old disintegrating book, next take some obsolete due date cards.  The results are a large postcard on the way to Spokane for a library-themed mail art call.
