MAR: Etegami (Japanese Picture Letters)

It's time for a bit of mail art! So let's sent artful messages into the world!

Etegami are picture letters. Images are generally simple, of everyday objects, and hand-painted then sent as postcards. Accompanying the painting are a few handwritten words, such as a greeting.

You will create one etegami postcard. Images may be hand-drawn or painted and should be of something ordinary from your life (look around your house and town for ideas!). Write a message on the front to accompany the image. It could be a greeting, quote, poem, or thoughtful phrase. We're keeping this simple, so use your choice of paper/board for the postcard.

Send naked!
