Hello lovelies!
Since I won't be swapping here as often, I want to promote other artists who are hosting swaps, or putting out calls for mail art. I'm a strong believer in using deadlines and themes to move your creativity forward.
I got a lovely email from Janel at Pinky Post, in which she introduced herself by way of this Q&A. Janel sponsors mail art calls and turns the submissions into zines. Her current theme is "All About Hair" and the deadline is February 28th.
Meanwhile, here's more about Pinky herself!

So sorry you won't be holding as many swaps. I know your own life and new job must come first. But I do hope you will be able to manage a swap every month or two as they are among my favorites. Happy holidays and best wishes for the new year.
