Now that it's Fall, I've started to send out letters and stickers again.
If enough folks sign up, and promise to let me know when their letter arrives, I'll send out a batch next week.
Yes! If you've participated before, feel free to sign up again.

@scott this is making me think about reviving my #StickersAndStamps project.
Oh! Look what just arrived: The new USPS post-crossing International stamps!
So, if you're outside the US, and you'd like me to use one of these stamps to send you a sticker from my #StickersAndStamps project, mention the Cross-posting stamps in the comment field. And please remember to tell me when it arrives!
@cassolotl Oh! I just ordered some of these for my #StickersAndStamps project.
If you want to sign up, make sure to mention you'd like me to use one of the #postcrossing stamps.
For folks who would like a lot of these stickers to give away, or support my projects, I've just added sets of them to my online shop: https://www.artatomic.io/product/set-of-5-stickers-minnesotta-flag/GSIZE4H2YP5FGCAEDZSEAHSH
If you'd like more, let me know and I'll set up a listing for you.
I wrote a bit about this artwork sticker, and how you can also request one for free if you participate in my #StickersAndStamps project: https://www.patreon.com/posts/151292703
I still have some of these Minnesota inspired stickers left, so if you'd like me to include one in your #StickersAndStamps envelope be sure to mention the Minnesota flag stick when you sign up.

I still have some of my flag stickers left, so if folks want to participate in my #StickersAndStamps project, now's a great time to sign up. If you'd like one, mention my Minnesota flag sticker, and I'll include it in the envelope.
My tiny effort to put some art and joy out there.
I was working on a Chemistry simulation for students, when a debugging tool (that I had developed for myself) looked cool to me and I kept playing with it. That led to me finding my voice as an artist and creating variations on this piece.
If you've ever signed up for my #StickersAndStamps project, I've sent you postcards with works from this series.

Most of the messages folks send me, when they're signing up for my #StickersAndStamps project, are wonderful.
Some are very odd, like this recent one: "I want a nice tattoo not one that is too ugly".
This person looked at the photo of the temporary tattoo designs I was giving away, requested that I send one, and then added this comment to their request.
The comment was so odd that I had to just laugh through the insult. Ha!
@inarticulatequilter I pre-ordered some of these! I'll post when they arrive, in case anyone would like me to use them on a #StickersAndStamps project envelope.
How could I resist them? 😍
Walked these envelopes to the Post Office today. They all have stickers in them, some have my new Minnesota flag stickers in them.
If folks keep signing up, I'll keep mailing them out. Sending out little moments of joy, and tracking USPS delivery times one letter at a time.
Who's up for getting one of my Art stickers? All I ask is that you let me know when the envelope arrives.
Together we can share a little joy, and collect data on USPS delivery times.
How it works:
1. You sign up
2. I mail a sticker to you
3. You tell me when it arrives

If you'd like one of my stickers honoring Minnesota, mention it in the questions/comment field.
@waeiski The more orange, the longer it took to arrive. It's all part of my long running #StickersAndStamps project.
I'd like to buy some stickers to decorate/identify a suitcase, and I'm struggling to find real ones that aren't AI nonsense
I'd ideally like them to be vintage travel style
Any ideas where I can get them? Redbubble is utterly infested with AI slop for this
I'd most of all love to buy them direct from real artists

For today's #DecembArt, I'm sharing a screenshot from my ongoing #StickersAndStamps project. Folks sign up. I mail a sticker to them. They tell me when it arrives. This creates the data for a visualization I've been working on: https://artatomic.itch.io/stickers-and-stamps

@thebiologistisn @rspfau @tillmanreuter Totally understandable. For my #StickersAndStamps project, I've become comfortable with some level of "data loss". But starting with a few trusted folks, with just a few beans/seeds each, you might eventually get to a surprisingly delightful place. :)
I walked a batch of envelopes for my #StickersAndStamps project, with most of them heading overseas. As I get to the post office, I'm shocked to find that out of the several drop off boxes that used to be out front, there is only one left. And it was too full to add my letters to. So I had to take them inside.
I asked where they went. "They took those away". I ask when. "Long time ago". That's it, no explanation or actual timing. The have not been gone for long. Disturbing.
Ok. This project has, until now, been mostly focused on Mail Delivery Time within the US.
But now, it seems that I need to expand my research to include how hard it is to send a letter to someone in the US from outside the US.
So, if you're outside the US, please sign up for my #StickersAndStamps project
If you're outside the US, I will ask you to help me collect data on sending a letter to the US. I'll send you more info when you sign up
To clarify, the difficulty is not about sending a package. It's about sending a letter on paper in a paper envelope from a country outside of the US to me inside of the US.
Not packages. Jut a letter in an envelope.
A participant in my #StickersAndStamps project went to their local post office, in France, and were told that they couldn't send a letter in an envelope to the US. This person was sending the letter to me from France.
Edited to add: THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!!
@cmsdengl "Royal Mail said cards and letters could continued to be posted as usual."
So letters *should* not be impacted.
But as of a few days ago, one of the participants in my #StickersAndStamps project was told, at his local post office, that he could not send a letter to me from France.
I will continue to send out letters and stickers for my #StickersAndStamps project!

I'll keep sending out letters and stickers, as long as I can afford to do so. Which is probably another month or so? International mail costs a lot more than domestic mail, so it's hard to predict when I'll run out of stamps.
Would any of the wonderful folks who have participated in my #StickersAndStamps project be interested in helping me collect data on sending mail TO me in the US?
What could I do to make it easier for you?
I'm considering asking folks who have participated in my #StickersAndStamps, from outside of the US, to attempt to mail an envelope back to me. Take it to your post office, and if they tell you that letters to the US are blocked, then send me a postcard that says "Letters to the US are blocked from my country, so I'm sending you a postcard instead"...with the date and city/country you mail it from.
Just now finished getting a batch of envelopes ready to go out in tomorrow's mail, for my #StickersAndStamps project.
First batch since this summer. In all that time, I finally have over 20 signups. Summer has been a really slow season for this project.
So, apparently, USPS is not shut down during our Government shutdown. But I'm wondering, is it impacted?
Perhaps this is the perfect time to invite folks to sign up for my #StickersAndStamps project?
You sign up. I mail one of my art-stickers to you You tell me when the letter arrives.
This project is all about spreading joy and art, while collectively studying how long it takes for mail to arrive.

Today, a letter arrived in my PO Box from Argentina, as part of my #StickersAndStamps project. I don't know what this little envelope went through, but it looks like it'd been through a lot. Possibly stuck in a sorting machine at some point?
It took over five months to get here.
Oooh! The Betty White stamps arrived!
If you're interested in signing up for my #StickersAndStamps project, and would like me to use one of these Betty White stamps on your envelope, mention the Betty White stamps in the "Questions and Comments" section of the sign up form: https://forms.gle/pMF8w1WkZXoostLM8
Earlier today, somebody suggested that I take my #StickersAndStamps artwork on stickers and sell them as some variation on NFT and cryptocurrency. Ha!
I would never ever ever do that. If you see my art in those spaces, they are stolen from me.
@Daojoan I'd love a boost of my #StickersAndStamps project: https://vis.social/@kristinHenry/113211870505930194
Sign ups are slowing down, but I still want to send out a little joy and collect more data on how long it takes my letters to get to their destinations.
Just sent out a new batch of letters to folks who've signed up for my #StickersAndStamps project.
