Jump into spring with the fun Japanese art of Etegami—creating postcards with simple painted images and a few heartfelt words or a haiku intended to be mailed to a friend or loved one. Etegami literally means “picture letters.” You don’t have to be a fine artist or a seasoned calligrapher to enjoy this simple art form (and support the USPS in the process!). It’s truly a fun way to give joy.

Tools / Supplies:

• Watercolor postcards
• A small-to-medium sumi brush
• Sumi ink
• Fine Sharpie marker and/or Tombow fudenosuke brush pen (black ink)
• Pan watercolors (like Prang)
• Water container
• Signature stamp or chop, if you have one
