Winter Mail Bag

Sorting through recent mail art that has arrived in San Francisco including New Year’s mail — some sent from my own neighborhood to some form all the way to Lviv, Ukraine.   And it wouldn’t be winter without snow people — Kathy Barnett’s latest series of “polaroids” are just hilarious and wonderful.   The mail art shown here includes:

Year of the Rabbit - Happy New Year!

Each year the US Postal Service’s Lunar New Year Stamp inspires me to make some mail art. This time some hand carved rubber stamps for The Year of the Rabbit.
