Woah yes wait a minute Mr postman

How to make a letter return to you without a given address...

Below are the 3 postcards i sent through the post. The first one was more of an experiment than anything else. I wanted to see how the post office coped with braille and whether they accomodated for the fact a blind man may one day write a postcard/ letter. The answer? Nope. 

Postcard was not returned














The second idea was to see how something hidden doesn't necessarily mean it isn't there [see rant brief!]. In order to do this early on in the week i made a postcard then wrapped it in tracing paper in order to hide what i had cut out of the postcard (i.e my house number and postcode)

Postcard Returned















My final idea was a balloon postcard. In small writing i wrote my address and post code clearly. Unlike the other 2 this was not so criptic, it was more of a bit of fun, i wanted to see if the post man would get involved with the program and play along...

Postcard Returned...I guess (s)he did then
