You got mail and it's not a bill!

I have realized that since I became an adult that is responsible for living on her own, the only mail I receive are bills. I don't get anything cool anymore in the mail and it bums me out. If I had more time, I would mail tiny bits of art to all my friends. Which is still a future project for when I retire as a crazy old lady living by the lake and still rocking out to merengue music.

For now, I'm participating in an art project through the Art House Co-Op. THE 4 X 6 EXCHANGE
The best part? It's FREE to participate. I send in a piece of artwork that is 4 x 6 and in return I receive artwork from another artist in the mail. That's so cool to my senses! I love it and I can't wait to get started. That idea also got me thinking about mail art in general so I went to the marvelous machine we call google and I found these beauties below! I need more reason to send mail and slap on some sweet artwork of mine for the other person to receive and enjoy.

So while I start this new project I am still working on my latest painting - Blue Nude Red Mood. I was finally able to get more paint to finish it. I did shake my head at how expensive art supplies are but it has to get done. I can't stop working because I can't afford supplies. As a struggling artist with bills, debt and a social life, I will make do until my situation improves. I'm optimistic it will.
