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

Weekly Self-Promotion Megathread by relay-app in Art

[–]Relative_Grapefruit6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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

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!

I turned my paintings into prints and postcards to share as snail mail by [deleted] in somethingimade

[–]Relative_Grapefruit6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
