My grandmother (Nanoo) began sending me postcards at a very young age, likely as soon as she knew I could appreciate the images and messages. I kept every last one she sent and my postcard collection grew and grew. Decorating by hanging postcards up (as many as I can) is like free art and a whole lot of it. I love postcards as a medium because it is just that: free. it is the most selfless form of art because you create for another and send it off knowing you may never see your work in person again. It puts on display stories and emotions and friendships. And often it creates the most lovely networks of people all brilliant in their own right and driven to create, create, create all these funny little cards. Mail art is the exemplary form of "good things come in small packages". Nanoo inspired me and now I can't stop. So, please, let me send you some love.
