RIP Mailart365

 "Not every act of art creates something special, but it creates something. It is the act of art that is important, not the result." Michael L. Goodman

Last week, I tried to log in to Mailart365.com to post some new images. I found that the site is no longer accessible. Only two of us were still posting in 2025; even the creator of the site stopped posting a few years ago. I completed five years of creating 365 decorated envelopes and postcards each year. I took a short hiatus after year five. I was up to 110 items in year six. Fortunately, I kept an image of each envelope and card in a file, so I have my own record for reference, and I am still committing acts of art every day.

This is one of the first envelopes, front and back, that I posted in year one of my adventure on Mailart365, a subscription renewal for Classical 89 radio.

A collage postcard from year three.

A crayon colored envelope, front and back, from year four.

A decorated magazine page folded into an envelope from year five.

Commit Acts of Art: More "Chunk-o-Cardboard" Postcards

"Not every act of art creates something special, but it does create something. It is the act of art that is important, not the result." Michael L. Goodman

During June, along with gardening, attending funerals, concerts, and working two open houses for the new West Jordan Cultural Arts Center, I have continued to make "chunk-o-cardboard" postcards in hopes of more trades. I have quite a stockpile now. Two more of these trades came to my attention this week: an international trade with one partner and a USA trade with three partners. All I need are addresses and time to write a message on the back.

Here are a few of the new cardboard postcards:

This card looks better in person as the silver tape under the decorative packing tape looks dull.

This month I also made and sent some high school graduation cards to three grandnieces.
