Received this morning from Carien van Hest, a beautiful hand-made card in a recycled envelope which included a packet of bright pink hollyhock seeds--and a packet of tiny paper napoleon hats (which brought a big smile, & gave me a great idea of what to send in return! Thank you, Carien!
I do not know the mail artist that sent me the postcard I posted on tuesday. I would like to send mail art in return. Please let me know if you sent it.
@Alan: Each fresh print is an original. As you know in graphics it is customary to add the edition - like 8/50, 1/10, and so on. But I don't think that - if any - is required in mail art.
Inspiring! Thank you Carien for you art. I can imagine the excitement of discovering just the right book at a thrift store for making your unique art envelopes. I have never thought to check thrift stores. Now I'm excited about the creative prospects. Also, I've never seen a photograph weaved into intriguing art. Thank you so much for making these and sharing with me.

I like making "original" cards, using acrylic paint,
but also adding collage elements: LEMONS :-)

I often make linocuts or letterpress prints; do these count as 'originals', or can I only make one print?
