The cool thing about mail-art is you can do whatever you want. Many folks make cards or small artworks and send them inside hand decorated envelopes. Some people make there own stamps or stickers or use rubber stamps in a creative way. Hand drawn, painted and collage postcards are often seen. Mail-art is a very public form of art where the postal workers get to enjoy your work as well as the recipient. So please feel free to create whatever you want. I know it can be a little intimidating when there are few rules or conventions, but the real fun in mail-art is in the process of creation. This is REALLY coloring outside the lines.
