Mail art or mail craft?

I have been giving this some thought, and I think that mail art might actually be a genre within which the boundaries between art and craft are so blurred that they actually cease to matter/exist at all (stamp-carving - indisputably a craft - is, after all, one of the mainstays of the mail art movement).

The first mini-zine is available here, the second is in preparation, and the 3rd, 4th & 5th will be not too far behind!

Letters of Fiction

I am hoping perhaps some of my Mail Art friends will be interested in this project. I am wishing to join not only letter writing but creative writing. It is artistic in its own right. You can see the Letters of Fiction website for more information on the project. You can also contact me.

Thanks for looking!

Actually, she's in DC right now, but I post it on my art blog for her to see and participate in the fun! I'm also posting received art to the sidebar there, under the heading "mail art received." Without further ado...
