Painting outside the lines is (to me) more fun than being confined by rules and boxes. I once wrote a blog post on Coloring Books for Grown Ups asking if we really need them… But not matter your opinion about coloring books and coloring pages, I think it’s always interesting to find new ways to […]

One hundred DIY Postcards bound for Sweden
I got over one hundred postcards in the 10th Anniversary of the DIY Postcard Swap this spring (and now the fall swap is open if you want to join in – and we’re still celebrating the anniversary year of course!). I think that is preeetty good for being a pandemic year, right? Some of the […]

Since it’s our Anniversary Year, I thought it would be fun to share some more videos of how I created my DIY Postcards this time! I’m editing the footage of my third video (I think there will be four in total) right now and I am hoping to share it soon (it takes so many […]

A mixed media process video and some fun mail art inspiration today, I hope you like it. I was thrilled when I saw that one of my long-time participants in the DIY Postcard Swap, Sarah, made a video on how she created her postcards for the last swap! I’ve made several videos myself of my […]
Please don’t hesitate: You CAN Create a Postcard
A new friend of mine is joining the DIY Postcard Swap that I host, and I’m thrilled about it. Not for myself, although it always makes me happy to see people I know personally join in – but for her. And for everyone who will get one of her postcards. The world might even be […]
Mixed Media Painted Postcards
The weather has been very Novembery around here lately. Swedish November is such a sad, sad thing. Yuck! Above no sun or even puffy clouds – only gray, foggy sky all month… The air is damp, the bike is damp, and it gets dark around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Very dark. So I feel […]
Happy Mail from Kat
I love getting happy mail, little surprises stuffed inside an envelope that you weren’t expecting… But who doesn’t right? Happy mail is so right every day of the week. I missed the day light today to take photos of my pile of Postcards for the DIY Postcard Swap (yes, you can still join – as […]
Getting started with my DIY Postcards
I have started on my fall batch of DIY Postcards, and they’re going to be a fun mix of things (very mixed media) this time, I think. It feels like it’s been a long time since I created in this messy non-linear way and I had a lot of fun with this process. In case […]

Each year I host an international and easy-going mail art swap that I call DIY Postcard Swap. It’s a great way to get some happy mail, so I hope you want to try it out this fall. I think we all need a little pick-me-up as it gets darker outside and the trees start loosing […]
