Like-minded mail art friends

The majority of the mail art I post is what I make, so if you like something, and we're not already friends, please send me a friend request with updated address info, and you may get it in the mail if I haven't sent it out already.

Celebrate spring by sending your mail art friends a "gaekkbrev" -- a form of shared Danish paper art that's traditionally sent out in the month of April. Watch your mailboxes! I might be sending you one! :)
