Gingersnaps Mail Art

April 21, 2025 · by Lois

Four handmade artistamps each have a slogan made from cut up text and collage: "collage expressing your inate creativity", "handmade is heart made", "mail art happens here", and "explore the unexpected".

Although the mail art of RML contributor Ginger Mason (also known in mail art as Ateliergingembre and Gingersnaps) has been documented in this Exchange Gallery already (here and here), it keeps arriving and it keeps inspiring! In 2025 it has included the collaged artistamps and colour flutter books pictured below, among other joyful items. The smaller book is titled Vernal Equinox: time to energize, time to play, time to relax (nature’s elements constantly gifts new perspectives) and is a celebration of the change of season and the way it nourishes us. The larger one, Women Do This Every Day, is a recognition of the sacredness of reproductive choice. The artistamps are colourful messages made from cut ups and collaged backgrounds that celebrate the actions related to mail art. They include messages like, “Tell your story”, “Boost your mail art”, “Handmade is heart made”, and they recall the enormous mail art and artistamp legacy of Anna Banana who passed at the end of 2024.

In exchange for these Gingersnaps goodies, Directions to BUSH Gallery (Tania Willard and Leah Decter) and x: the meeting place makes the spine (Leah Decter and Peter Morin) have been mailed to Ginger Mason.

two sheets of artistamps and two flutter books are open on a table.
