Airmail Stickers

Sadly, the USPS no longer issues airmail stickers for our overseas mail.   Technically they are not necessary, but that should not deter any artists who send mail art.  I designed my own airmail rubber stamp for the California Post.  And I know many artists are making their own stickers.  A call came from dystatic in Canada to send a batch of mail art stickers.   She collects them and then redistributes them to participating artists.  An envelope full of artists stamps, mail art stickers and other goodies was waiting for me at the post office the other day.   I am inspired to make more.  Check out her blog if you want to participate.

Some of us still like our mail the traditional way, because we know, as fast as email might be, there is nothing like seeing an airmail envelope waiting for you in your mailbox with a letter for someplace far, far away.  Or in this case, a collage of an airmail envelope made out of old stamps.
