hello mail artists,
during full-time caregiving seasons, i've made postcard-sized collages in spare moments. they are very simple, sometimes oddly composed--but they exist.
all are made from found materials, and most include images of women.
rather than keep them in a box, i'd love to send them out into the mail-art universe.
if you'd enjoy receiving one, send me your address and i'll put a card in the mail.
no exchange expected and no thank-you required. just know that you may receive a surprise postcard someday.
small request: i'd prefer the cards not be posted online here.
i'll send while the current stack lasts--and if more appear over time.

I will happily receive one. Being a caregiver is so hard. I’m impressed you were able to make postcards at the same time. I barely found the time to eat during the crisis times. Leslie Levenson, PO Box 1017, Milton, WA 98354-1017 USA
I won’t post online.
Warm regards,
LL

Hi,
I hope you're well.
Your postcards sound lovely — small moments of making during busy caregiving days.
Same here: caring for a 91-year-old and a 21-year-old keeps life quite full.
If there is still a card looking for a home, I would be happy to receive one.

I know from experience that making collages (or doing any other craft) is soothing and helps take your mind off things.
Thanks for the offer. I’d love to receive one of your cards. Take care.
