Does your household accumulate lots of dryer lint and empty toilet paper rolls? If you'll turn them into fire-starters for me, (stuff lots of lint inside the roll, fold edges, maybe add some candle wax), I'll happily send you something nice. |

| Brief Bio, News in Your Life, etc: | - “Remember to delight yourself first, then others can be truly delighted.” - SARK.
- I won't think less of you if you confuse knitting/crocheting, or felting/fulling, or can't remember how to spell "ephemera". Don't let anyone bring you down for it.
- The stuff I've made is really hit-and-miss. I have good ideas but the execution can falter. Regardless of the outcome, a lot of heart, consideration, and time go into every thing I create. I like to share what DIDN'T work for me, in hopes of saving other people some time/supplies/grief by avoiding the same mistakes I made.
Here are some mail art themes I actively fancy!
- The majestic ____ (Depict something that is never considered "majestic" as being ultra-majestic, without making fun of it.)
- Unimpressed ungulates
- Same-sex people being affectionate - Can be platonic or romantic.
- Mexico - Culture, places, history, nature, etc.
- World religions
- Well-dressed and dignified animals
- An altered playing card - with number and suit left visible on the card - with female nudity created primarily by women--celebrating the female form in all its shapes/colors/sizes, as something more than a commodity for men's viewing pleasure, unlike traditional nudie playing cards. Explore your own issues re nudity and the body, and bring them into your art as much or as little as you want to.
- A creative representation/interpretation of one of the 4 elements
- A Creativity Muse, Art Spirit, or a Fairy Godmother of Art/Craft
- Unorthodog (image of a dog not considered conventionally cute/beautiful, but still is in its own unique, homely way!)
- Your self-portrait, created in the style of your favorite artist
- Libraries, books, librarians, archives, etc.
- Weather or geological/meteorological/tidal phenomena
- Anything rainbow
