I basically send to a lot of new people completely out of the blue. The problem with doing this is you rarely get anything back. I probably send at least two or three times the amount of stuff out, that I get back.
Just send...maybe send to people that frequently post.
By the way, if you send something to me I will get right back to you.

I'm going to ask the most basic question of all - where do I start? Is it creepy to just send something to a random person on here, or should I just sit around and wait for someone to mail to me, because I'm new...? It's all a bit like going on a first date....

My luck with displaying the IUOMA badge at our studio's blog was not good. Can you help? I've actually begun a discussion on that very topic.
It wandered here and there. It even "hopped" once. Very strange. Or would it be a planned feature, as in, Kurt Scwitters meets Samuel Calder and half the dadaists on the planet? :)

Always thank the postman (or postwoman, because the one that comes to our door is female). An essential part in mail-art

Thanks Lisa and Ruud, My latest effort to automail a large (10 x 4 inch/ 25 x 10 cms) card resulted in the postman folding it in half and stuffing it in my post box. Sad!
