Mailart 365 has moved

Hello, I'm Melissa, and I'm excited to be joining MailArt365 for the new year! I started scanning my outgoing mail on the first day of January, and am hoping to be able to keep up an average of one new piece of mail art per day. My plan is to post once per week, to keep it manageable for myself and your overworked blog feeds.

Here is part one of my first week's worth of mail art bits.

1/365: Sent to my husband; this is it after it came through the postal system.


2/365: A drink coaster from the restaurant we ate at for New Year's Day, colored in and mailed naked. Though the coaster advertises they have pomegranate, lime, and mango flavored margaritas, they only depicted two of the three fruits on the coaster, so I made one lime into a lemon instead. Sent to my sister-in-law's family.


3/365: A collaged postcard with bits bound for the recycling bin. Sent to Bethany in South Carolina.


4/365: An attempt to spice up a Netflix's envelope with marker. Turns out the paper doesn't take regular washable marker very well, leaving lots of smudges on the envelope and my hands. Lesson learned! (There's a whole amazing tumblr with Netflix mail art, by the way.)


The next four are being sent through military mail, so I didn't want to make it too hard for the workers there to find the address. Some simple handmade envelopes would have to do.
