The first Brown Paper Bag is flying out

As the fates would have it, were are 26 participants, so I decided to send out two brown paper bags with 13 stops to go each.
So I hope everyone will get the chance to browse more quickly now.

The first went out today, the second will follow in one or two days.

Please make sure to send it on as quick as possible.
ENJOY!

Time for a new Brown Paper Bag

This time we have no special topic, just take an add whatever you want, as long as it's papermade.

And this is how it works:
You'll sign up via e-mail and I put you on a list with your mailing adress.
On March 1st I will send out the paper bag, filled with 144 (12x12) paper oddities. When it arrives at your place, you can take up to 12 pieces out of the bag, add 12 things from your gatherings, then send it on to the next one on the list. At last the bag will be returned to me and I will have my pick.

This is limited to 20 participants, so sign in soon.

Please make sure to give me your mailing adress when signing up. Please do only sign up via e-mail to me. lawendula@gmail.com

Update: We are 25 now, so I have decided to send around 2 bags. Now be quick, there is still room, but....

The Brown Paper Bag is back!!!

And at last the Brown Paper Bag has returned back to me. I will keep the project alive during next year. It’s not much work, but much joy.

Amazing, it’s always the same amount of sent items that come back to me at the end, 10%.

Amazing too, that there are many images, I thought they will be gone first, but they travel around the world and nobody wanted them, like poor Marina Abramoviç.

Thank you all, you made this a fun project!

As always I will let random decide who will be winning the whole bunch and this time it’s Beth- congratulations! Will be sending out soon!

If you want to be in next year in spring 2020, just let me know soon. Write me an e-mail with your mailing adress.

And the winner is...

...Myriam from France!
Congratulations!


Yours is the blue edition paper bag :)

Will send out during the next days.

The brown paper bag blue edition is back!

Hello to all you “blue ladies” all over the world!

This was a really lovely experience: The blue edition of the brown paper bag has now made its way back to me. From Germany to France, the UK, the USA, Canada and Argentina and then back to Germany again.

So great the thought that it really made it without lost and brought joy to those who played along. Thank you all for doing such a great job! Your handwritten greetings on the address list really touched me!

This was what I’ve sent in August 2017:

This was what I got yesterday:

Only 3 pieces of blue which I originally have put in returned!

I have now chosen 15 pieces for myself to keep and decided to make a small “lottery” out of the rest. So all participants will have a chance to win the whole lot of blue that has made its way round the world. I will let you know who the lucky winner is tomorrow, so stay tuned.
