★ problem: i'm bad at texting or calling people first.
★ solution: send people i care about an envelope in the good ol' snail mail full of things about my month!

i'm starting the tadpost as a way to reach out to people, force myself to be creative with my hands and mind, & engage in active reflection on how time is passing. for the low, low cost of $0 + sending me an email or message about your thoughts and what your month was like, you get a cute and whimsical item that will show up in your mailbox each month. full of variety and excitement (i hope), here are some of the ideas of things or topics i might include in your monthly tadpost:

☆ a lino print or collage made into a post card/print
☆ a poem or piece of writing i've been working on
☆ mini lino stamps or stickers
☆ little puzzles or other artistic things that strike my fancy
☆ zines!!
☆ a bonus birthday card maybe??
☆ reviews of books, movies, or music i've been consuming
☆ etc. etc. etc.

if nothing else, i will always draft and send out a letter detailing some of the highlights or things on my mind during said month! generally, i will stick to more word-heavy content as i am more of a writer than i am a fine artist, but the idea is to be creative and unconfined to one medium or another. in turn, i would love to receive some kind of 'hello' from you, if you feel inspired to do so! there's no pressure to send me back a letter, but let yourself be unconfined as i simply would just love to hear from people in my life.

fill out this interest form if i don't have you on my mailing list and you'd want to be! all previous editions of the tadpost will be documented on this page, so you can always just keep up that way if you wish. and if you truly did stumble upon my page and i don't know you personally, i'm always happy to have another pen pal! just fill out that interest form and i'll be excited to start stamping another envelope for you.
