Art meets an Interactive Game experience using creative postcards, letters, and interactive packages for a multi sensory experience.
This project merges art and intrigue...and it's delivered in the mail.
A limit of 53 recipients (in the continental United States) will experience a story though handmade postcards, letters, and packages. These deliveries often involve all the senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. More elaborate versions build in a series of mail deliveries. (See the Rewards for details.)
As a Backer you get handcrafted mail; interactive, curious package deliveries; and amusing puzzles/mysteries to solve.
You'll be inspired and directly involved in this creative endeavor which plays out in the next few months. It's great inspiration for creative types (individuals), but also a fun family activity, or group/team bonding experience.
You've NEVER had this much fun by mail. You might even be inspired to make some amazing mail yourself.
Should this project go off well, a second project will run in 2013 and may include international deliveries (also with limited-spots). Join in soon so you don't miss out.
{Funds go to postage costs, materials, and closely-related expenses.}
I'm here to spark your creative muse, and I know you're going to love being a part of this!
Love, Sparky
FAQ
-
Yep. Read the updates section for the latest "customer review". (SPOILER: It's a rave review)
-
No. I'm sorry about this, but at this time any international deliveries aren't included. Your input on this topic is appreciated, as well as expertise on international shipping costs. Potentially, a second similar project could run in 2013 that may be able to include international deliveries.
-
Backers will be sent a survey to obtain necessary information for deliveries. You may use a PO BOX also. (If you really want street address privacy, consider registering for a Postal Office Box online with the postal service at usps.com ) And don't be scared, because your info will be kept private. Building trust is crucial, and I value yours.
-
Your creative or artistic assistance would be deeply appreciated. You may wish use this project to expose others to your own artwork, puzzles, or designs. Send in your creations like stationery, mailable artwork, or other creative items you'd like to share with participants to Superb Snail Mail, PO BOX 10 Cressona, PA 17929. You will be given due credit, if your piece is used somehow, but we cannot reimburse you in any other way at this time.
-
Each mailing is handmade with love and care. This means only a limited number can be created while still remaining a mostly healthy human being. If demand is high, other artists may be employed to complete this or future projects.
-
It's a countercultural attempt to help others appreciate the suspense and anticipation brought on by waiting for something good.
