Mail ART received!

This is just one of the photos I took today so I could share about the beautiful mail art I've received as part of an exchange I am participating in.

What is mail Art, you say?
Mail art is a worldwide cultural movement that began in the early 1960s and involves sending visual art (but also music, sound art, poetry, etc.) through the international postal system. Mail Art is also known as Postal Art or Correspondence Art. The term networking is often used to describe Mail Art activities, based on the principles of barter and equal one-to-one collaboration.

After a peak in popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Mail Art phenomenon has gradually migrated to the Internet, whose ?social networks? were largely anticipated and predicted by the interactive processes of postal collaborations. Nevertheless, Mail Art is still practiced in the new Millennium by a loose planetary community involving thousands of mailartists from the most varied backgrounds.
From wikipedia -lots more info there if you are interested!

I have created and sent my mail art for this exchange, but I won't reveal it completely until all of the mail reaches 2 mailboxes in Maryland, USA, one in Washington, USA, one in Kent, UK and one in NSW, Australia! This is done all in the name of fun, love, friendship, art and sending & receiving mail! ; ^ ) have a great day!
