Newbie to Mail Art

What fun! I am new to the IUOMA and would like to participate in making artistamps. How do I get started? Is there someone in particular I should sent them to?

Cheers

It is fun! Get started by just making some artistamps and sending them to someone. There are no special requirements other than that they look a bit like postage stamps. I put mine on mail art, on penpal letters, on almost any envelope I send.

Welcome to IUOMA. Create whatever your heart desires and send it on an excursion in the mail to somewhere else on the planet. I am lucky enough to have a foot-pedal perforator for making my artistamps' perforations. Would be happy to send you some sheets to play with.

Thank you for the welcome.

Fancy that, a perforating machine! I'd love some sheets. I have been experimenting with sewing paper as faux perforations. Not ideal I grant you. See where forty years sewing experience gets you!
