Have you ever wished to receive something in your “snail mail” other than bills and advertisements?  Have you ever thought of mailing a pice of your art to someone else?  Although we’re doing most of our business by email and text these days, there are still folks who like to send and receive art through the mail.

Recently I’ve been participating in a mail exchange called Mail Me Some Art (MMSA).  The drawings above are black and white Artist Trading Cards in the standard size of 2.5 x 3.5 inches. In this exchange, I send the cards to the organizer and will receive two cards from other artists in return.  It certainly does make waiting for mail delivery more interesting.

If you are interested in participating, go to this link and take a look at the open swaps.  The next one up is round postcards which must be postmarked by April 8.  New swap specifications are posted regularly.  Just jump in somewhere and Mail Me Some Art!
