I've resisted ATC challenges for a long time, but have finally succumbed. Two of 12 unique, handmade Artists Trading Cards (ATCs) sent to the ATC project are posted here. Media: watercolor paint and ink pen ( 2.5x3 inches). These were made from a series of slow drawing sessions hosted by Amy Maricle at mindfulartstudio.com…

In 2018 my husband started collecting tea tags for me on a whim. Then I added to the collection by emptying and drying tea bag papers. So was born this interactive collage, postcard series. Each card is 4.25 x 6 inches. Layers of papers/imagery were loosely glued together and an inspirational text added—usually hidden under one or more layers. Materials used include hand-painted papers (sometimes painted with tea), tea tags, tea bag papers, ephemera, and stamping depicting a steaming tea…

In April I sent out a series of cards featuring snow geese. Some of the recipients asked how I made them. Each card in the series is different, but with common elements. The card is Canson-mi-tientes paper which has been enhanced with watercolor crayon and over-written in white colored pencil with text from a poem by Carolyn Forche. The snow geese are hand-drawn, and then painted with acrylic paint.The envelopes feature a collage created with scraps of mulberry and other papers, plus a…

I recently learned to make leaf prints using an eco-dyeing process from Jamila Rufaro. See my efforts in my photo album--Mail Art Sent 2014 . The mirrored image below demonstrates how the front and reverse sides of the leaves print differently. The prints are very unique and a reminder of our role as stewards of the planet.
The person who made Eco-dyeing and printing well-known is India Flint of Australia. If you have the time to browse her web site and blog prepare to be amazed.…

The display of mail art from the Mail Art Call, Celebrate IUOMA 25, was a wonderful success. My thanks to all who sent entries!

At least 160 took the informational handout and stopped to ask questions about mail art and how to become involved in the IUOMA network. Mail artists stopped to chat about their own experiences. It was a pleasure to meet Raphael'L, an…
