This is a group for mail artists who share an affinity for tiny art! Original tiny art is a unique subset of artistry because it's often more accessible, more easily circulated through postal services, and cheaper to create than larger works.
"Tiny" is a subjective and not rooted in specific measurements, but let's go with "fits in the palm of my hand" as a general guideline.
Paintings, prints, sculptures, doodles...etc. If it's tiny mail art, you should share it here!

Hi Tiny Mail Artists
An iuoma member, Josh Ronsen, collects and exhibits tiny mail art. I have several in his wonderful collection. See his projects at
http://ronsen.org/mailart/
Here's one of mine from 2013 sent to Josh-a tiny reel of mini-paintings.

a mini zine and the magnifying glass was very small. Zine is one inch by one and a half inches. Sorry, I'm not good at converting to metric.

I received an envelope of tiny art from Awyn. Awesome. Her work is so spontaneous. Some of the tiny art is double sided but I just scanned one side.

Tiny Art! Goodness, how did I miss this group? I am rather fond of tiny art. I make a lot of Twinchies, 3 x 2-sies, Threechies, and ATCs. Here are some recent 3 x 2-sies.
