with such FISHES recycled or even taken as such, from what I received from a great number of -mostly anonymous*- OBA-people (OBA = Offene Behinderten Arbeit = Open Disabled Workplace) from Schweinfurt, I always join a "FishDeclaration", saying
"In 2016 my mail-art theme was FISH. A group of
OBA-people* (OBA = Offene Behinderten Arbeit = Open Disabled Workplace) from
Schweinfurt sent me regularly FISH, in most varying form(at)s. Beginning of
December arrived by post an ENORMOUS parcel with HUNDREDS of FISH: small, big,
flat, in 3D, drawn and coloured, on paper, out of cardboard or wood; there was
even a mirror in the stomach of a fish….
Some of the 150 —N.B.— paper coloured FISH I am
now recycling for my New Years greetings and other postal sendings.
