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

Stickers and Stamps!

Hello! My name is Kristin. I'm just one person. Trying to do something good. Together we can * support the USPS with stamp purchases * collect data on mail delivery times * share a little bit of joy You may just want a free sticker. That's cool! BUT I NEED YOU TO TELL ME WHEN IT ARRIVES! It costs me about $5 per request (plus my time), so please tell me when my envelope arrives in your postal mailbox. * Be sure your email address is correct, so that I can let you know when the sticker is mailed and you can start checking your mailbox daily. * If you're outside of the US, please type your mailing address (with postal code) in the "Questions and comment" section of this form. Who am I? I'm Kristin Henry, Science and Data Visualization Pioneer, Artist, and Computer Scientist. http://kristinhenry.github.io/ https://artatomic.itch.io/ Want to help support this project? https://ko-fi.com/artatomic I've created data visualizations showing which cities and states I've sent stickers to, so far.

Since summer is nearly over, and folks are near their mailboxes, it's time to send out a new batch of envelopes for my #StickersAndStamps project.

I've used the new "Life Magnified" USPS stamps on these.

Tomorrow (Monday), I'll walk these to the post office, and send out emails to the folks who signed up for them.

@kristinHenry Interested! It’s now the season of false spring in the midwestern USA. Are you still doing this project?
Spoiler: my household now seems to get mail every second or third day on the regular. That shift happened right after our mail carrier was told by his doctor he needed to stop work for health reasons 😳
@lizopp Yes! I'm still doing the project. Sign ups have slowed down a lot, so I don't send them out as often. But I'm about to send out a new batch.
