The theme for May Mail Art 2024 is:
Language
How fun can this be? We know you don't have time to learn to speak another language. But you might make a little 'blank' journal with one page featuring words in, say, Italian, like 'Glitterati Literati,' and the opposite page featuring the English translation, 'Beautiful Literature.'
Hold on. Your creation doesn't have to be about a foreign language. How about the 'Language of Flowers,' which was a big deal in Victorian times? Wouldn't a handmade Victorian card be lovely?
Or ... what's the Japanese character for 'love'? Paint a picture with that symbol.
Or ... how about sign language for the deaf? Or the new developing language, 'protractile,' for the deafblind?
Would an auto mechanic have any clue what a 'fat quarter' was?
Colloquial this and that, by golly, by gum. You say tomahto, I say tomaeto.
