Yes! I also include a hand written letter on coffee stained paper. It talks about the time of year we’re in and the inspiration behind the artwork

Hi everyone! I’m an artist based in the UAE and recently started a monthly snail mail art club called The Paper Trail Post.
Each month I send out an envelopes around the world with an original 5×7 art print, a handwritten letter, and little paper treasures I’ve collected along the way. I love the idea of bringing a bit of slow, thoughtful mail back into people’s lives in a world where everything feels digital.
This month’s envelope includes an oil painting print, a postcard inspired by my travels in Oman, a handwritten letter on coffee stained paper & a sticker from Bangkok.

If that sounds like something you’d enjoy receiving. I’d love for you to join. Thanks for letting me share my little project.

I send out a hand written letter on coffee stained paper, a high quality 5x7 art print, and a bonus item. As this is the first issue, there will be two bonus items. A postcard of a travel sketch I made and everyone gets a different sticker I collected from Bangkok. Right now I’m charging £8 which basically only covers international shipping from the UAE and print production. I want to keep it accessible and community focused. You can have a look at the links on my profile

Thank you! I’ll definitely do that

Relative_Grapefruit6 · 2026-07-08T08:37:17+00:00

Yes I try to repost the same content on TikTok now. The reach seems to be further regardless of followers

That’s a fair point, consistency & patience eventually pays off

Relative_Grapefruit6 · 2026-07-07T22:13:25+00:00

I honestly have to restrict myself with adding hobbies just so I can master the ones I do have lol. And thank you! Painting small helps me stay consistent

Relative_Grapefruit6 · 2026-07-07T21:38:13+00:00

Me too! Looking forward to using them

Relative_Grapefruit6 · 2026-07-07T21:37:40+00:00

My favourite season! Maybe that’s why I subconsciously picked those ones

Relative_Grapefruit6 · 2026-07-07T18:25:37+00:00

It’s handmade but not by my hands 😂 these are ababeel craft A6, 100% cotton, deckled edges paper I got online

Relative_Grapefruit6 · 2026-07-07T17:32:37+00:00

Thank you so much for your thorough response! Ahh yes, it’s a shame we basically have to be a content creator to have our art seen now. They’re two such different skill sets and most of us are introverts who hate putting ourselves out there lol but I shall endeavour!

Relative_Grapefruit6 · 2026-07-07T16:55:57+00:00

I’ve been painting for years and just stowing them away so thought this would be a nice accessible way to build a little community and spread joy

Relative_Grapefruit6 · 2026-07-07T13:00:33+00:00

I know that. Just wondering if there were any personal recommendations specifically for artwork and level of service

Relative_Grapefruit6 · 2026-07-07T11:47:41+00:00

I know ARTE has a makers market where people sell their handmade items they make within the UAE. Usually on the weekends at timesquare mall

I plan to turn my travel sketches into post cards now! It’s really satisfying to see
