You've got mail.

DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN MAKE A PUZZLE BY MAIL???

I was today years old learning about this wonder. Sat down (through fb chat) with Atom Glambert to learn more about this sorcery. Along with the plethora of other mail goodies at Iris's Postal Portal.


"I started doing postal puzzles in 2020. I would spend hours and hours sketching and then painting a piece of paper that was letter sized-or 2 postcards. On the back, I would draw a dotted line down the middle. One side would have directions and the other would look like a postcard complete with a stamp and a spot for an address. I would then instruct the recipient of the letter to cut the artwork in half, mail the other half as a postcard to a friend that they would like to see again and then reunite the pieces of art when they felt safe to put the pieces back together. I even did a puzzle with four pieces that year. I mailed one to my grandmother, one to my mother, one to my sister and kept one. We have yet to put that puzzle together.
This is the third time that I am doing a series of the Burning Man 10 principles. Each individual artwork is 2 ft by 3 ft. They are then cut into 36 pieces and mailed to 36 individuals who will all be at the burn. The USPS had 3 weeks to deliver the mail to the recipients yet, at least five people have told me that they have not received theirs yet. This art project is now highlighting the demise of the United States Postal service and illustrating how it could impact voting rights."

MAIL FOR EVERYONE!
that is all.
