I recently found out about "mail art," where you decorate or make an envelope and send a letter through the mail. (Yes, the mail, not email) There is a whole network of mail artists throughout the world, all intertwined my their love for art and letter writing.

The postal system, when you think about it, is an amazing thing. Millions of envelopes get sorted in post offices all around the world, and somehow end successfully at their destination. But, a lot of that mail is JUNK mail. Getting a genuine letter in the mail today is something to be treasured. And people think, "I wish I got more mail like that." Well, the truth is, the only way to receive a letter is to send a letter. A real letter; not a 25 cent birthday card from the drug store. Write!!! People want to hear what you have to say. When you wrap that writing in a work of art, it becomes even more special. Because that is MAIL ART.

AMAZING mail art book; a must read:
Good Mail Day
