<p>All is acceptable, nothing is expected. Surprise the postal office and also the receiver.</p>
<p>So don't expect too many rules but be creative.</p>

<p>For me :</p>
<p>- "Mailart is what is on the OUTside of the envelope... not what is inside, so empty art envelopes are good". ATC is Art but not mailart.</p>
<p>- Yes : "Anithing you send through the mail can be mailart. The object itself being the art."</p>
<p>- And of course : "Mailart can be in any medium you chose."</p>
<p>Have a good day. Liberty</p>

<p>My own preference is to send POSTCARDs -- so that all the art is out there for everyone who handles it to see. </p>
<p>If I'm sending something specific (such as un-cancelled artiststamps or ATCs for a swap) I'll use an envelope; but then I think of it more as "mailing artwork" instead of as actual "Mail Art". </p>
<p>(This is just my own method, not a standard for anyone else.) </p>

If you were to ask 100 different people what Mail Art meant to them, you'd probably get 96.8 different answers. Admittedly, I'm new to the the Mail Art scene, but I say follow your instinct. Obviously there are some projects that people have laid out guidlines for. Aside from those, I say follow your creativity, be unique.

Some people may disagree with this approach, but isn't the whole point of art to enjoy creating it?
