Syl asked at the TAM-Publications BLOG about my oldest envelopes before I hooked up with the network. Here is one I made in July 1980. I played with the postal office to test if they would accept my collage of the original postagestapts into new values. Originally they were a 40 cents and a 25 cents postage stamp. I collaged them into a 45 cents and a 20 cents postage stamps. It worked out perfectly. Because in this test I mailed the address to my old (then) address, I still have the envelope.

Wonderful experiment, Ruud.
My experience has been that most
postal worker enjoy these pieces...
I've had many comments from ours!
Thanks for showing part of how it
was "in the beginning"!
I had a correspondence with the director of the mean postoffice, the districk director of the Postal Organisation, etc. They all reacted positive and said that these expoeriments would be apporved of by the official institutes. Just because it is an ART-experiment, they are always willing to work allong.
