The Lovely Art of Mail Art

Mail Art can be as simple as decorating an envelope with a sticker or a picture of a flower. Or it can be as extravagant as a watercolor or other illustration finely detailed for all to see. There are numerous websites and books dedicated to this popular art, so we will not claim to be the place to the latest and greatest news on this hobby, but we will offer articles, links to stories and blogs and highlight mail artists of interest.

We will also offer tips for creating your own mail art. At some point we will have free downloads of clip art and instructions to help inspire you to create your own original piece of art.
