The R&A Mail Art Swap

We are all feeling the isolation of being in Quarantine, we are all feeling unsure about the future.

So what could be nicer in this time of stress to receive beautiful works of art through the mail.

Presenting the 2020 mail art swap swap

Rules and parameters:

*If you haven’t already, become a member of our R&A Tribe on Facebook.

* Themed, HOPE, LOVE and JOY.

*must utilize R&A stamps on either postcards or envelopes.

*You will send one postcard or envelope to each person in the swap group and you will receive lots of lovely mail back.

* A postcard is a rectangular mailer sent without an envelope. Sending a postcard is an extremely affordable way to communicate when you’re using the U.S Postal Service—regular postcards cost only $0.35 to mail!
