"I use the plastic that comes with paper goods as envelopes. If one has a postcard with protrusions, it works well for protection, and one can still use a postcard stamp!"

"Wow. I love your for sale vintage fabrics. I did not see any envelopes either. "
Just for SQUARES!
There was a prompt from CreativeSprint to make something just using squares. I'd forgotten how I'd learned to love squares while teaching 2D design with Wucius Wong and Josef Albers Interaction of Color (years ago) I thought, Wow, there must be other Square lovers out there. Thanks to Katerina for the name idea. See More
Only Originals
A group dedicated to those who are willing to make and share only original mail art. So, in this case, no copies!See More
"I don't have them anymore but I have received one made of Tyvek and then another of melted plastic shopping bags that was painted. It created some interesting textures but wasn't water tight."
"Glad to read that life is going your way again, Thomas."
Absent at the wheel
I've been absent but lurking in the corners every now and then. I'm sorry to those who have sent me items and I've not sent return. All I can is it has been a gloomy time but I'm seeing light again. I'll be finishing several items I've started over the past year and get them in the mail starting next week. Wishing all you the BEST.....See More
TREES
A group devoted to the art of trees: free medium. Without trees the world would be dead and a place of disaster. With trees the world can tackle global warming. Hug a tree and you hug the earth, you hug yourself and your neighbors. Without trees, no love!Without love, no trees.A sequel to the mail art project SIGNS and STONES and TREES (of 1998).Guido Vermeulen started this group. After his death the IUOMA members keep it alive with posting photos and drawings of TREES in memory of Guido.See More
Return to Sender
A place where you can leave information about mail art that was returned to you. Maybe we can help each other out. See More

but came "return to sender" in today's mail, 1 Sept.2020.
Maybe the postal machine could not read "McKinney"?

I got home last night and was pleasantly surprised to get me first piece of mail art. I love it! But, I don't know who it's from....no name, however there is a return address. So, who here should I properly thank and send a return to?

hope it arrives one day, some day!

Hi Thomas! Glad you got the Feel Mail! I had a great time making a bunch of cards with different textures! I see you're in Texas... one of my daughters live in the Dallas/Ft Worth area.
