When you send mail art you always take a chance that it will get roughed up along the way. Like many artists, I use paper or clear envelopes for more delicate pieces. When recipients post my handmade postcards online, I have seen some that have been postmarked on both sides. I know some artists find this frustrating, but there is a side of me that appreciates that authentication. You know it is genuine mail art when the postmark hits both sides. That is what happened with some mail art I just received. Including a portrait piece from Gregg Biggs, a lovely, original watercolor from Margo Hill and the latest sticker remnant collage piece from Heather Ferguson.

Postmarked or Post-marred?
