Mail Art

Mail  - snail mail and email - are a necessity especially when friends and family are in far off places. That's why I started looking into the idea of mail art for the 'Stir a Memory' project. Mail art by definition means art that has been through the mail system.
This is the first postcard I made for the 'Stir a Memory' project:
