Library Journal Review

Artist mailing cards, like the smaller artist trading cards, are a genre of decorated cards intended to be swapped and collected by artists and their friends. These projects are contemporary machine-stitched needlework pieces in postcard format with simulated address/message spaces on the backs. They are intended as practice in using and embellishing unusual materials such as silk paper, so that artists can create original works for trading. (c) Copyright 2010.
