first class mail



Envelope, originally uploaded by KellyLWatson.

I got myself a pad of about a dozen blank 4×6 postcards yesterday on the way home from the dentist’s. They’re very hefty (watercolor 140lb) and I’m very eager to make good use of them. I’m thinking I might draw one of my photographs for the front side (or if that doesn’t work out too well, I’ll experiment with manually enhanced printing).
Let me know if you’d like receive a little something in the mail and I’ll try and come up with something interesting for you. I’m still not sure what what exactly I’m going to do with these but I’ve got a bunch of ideas floating around. I’m also thinking about letterpressing (inspired by jasonsantamaria) and maybe starting a snailmailing-list of interesting junk .. real junk not just handwritten links ;-) but still indirectly inspired by the spontaneity and random factor of tumblelogging [i.e].
[Anyways,] I can’t make any promises, but if you leave me your mailing address or somehow communicate it to me, I’ll try to come up with something interesting to send your way. “Requests” or even vague inspiration are welcome.
If I ever get into letterpressing, I think a snailmailing-list might actually be really cool; or sans the small scale mass printing of ancient letterpressing, we could arrange a round-robin-esque chain mailing, perhaps with appended post-it notes or something of the sort.

[I don’t really know where I’m going with all this,] but I’m really liking some of these ideas. I also once planned to start up The Swap based on a bookshelf at my place for all the great folk who would participate in my winter barbecues, that never took off only because I never had the room for it, but now I’ve got loads of starkly blank wall space which I can’t wait to leverage.

Be sure to hit me up with your thoughts if unconventional group snail mailing appeals to your groove.
