Feel Mail

Mail that wants to be touched. Whether it is a soft fabric or a stimulating material, such as paper fiber or metal, whether it feels smooth or ribbed, anything goes as long it's inviting to your fingers!

    Received a gorgeous piece of Mail Art by Heidi Monster! I love it so much! I can't even begin to think about how this "Feelie Cactus" must have been created, I'm at a loss for words. It has an awesome, glossy, smooth surface. Included, also, was a little zine from and about Heidi, sharing more about her and what inspires her! So much goodness... thank you so much!

    Annnnddd, another piece of Feel Mail (I feel so loved!) from Mother Brando! A gorgeous booklet full of collaged paper, washi tape, paint, and sealed with acrylic medium (or mod podge - it's hard to tell the difference). So happy with all this loveliness!! Thank you so much, Renee, I love it!

  • Ann Golden

    So many strong pieces that work as visual pieces even without the feel element. Have just started including some feel pieces in my mail to members. will be sending out more soon.

  • Carien van Hest

    Motherbrando wrote: When you make something and it just isn't 'right'. Well, this is one of those cards so I overlayed and added. Then Ta'dah! a Feel Mail card.

    What a happy accident, Renee, your card feels wonderful, thanks!

  • Carien van Hest

    Feel Mail from Marlies Wilding, USA! Great job, Marlies!
