the Butterfly Effect mail club
The butterfly effect is the whole idea: a wing moves a little air, and the weather changes somewhere else. No matter how small, it matters.
So every month, one envelope by post: a letter, a sticker, a print that is also a postcard, and a drawing sheet you can flip into a little animated book. Each one is a small thing, made on purpose, that only works because it arrives on paper instead of in a feed.
The club asks one small thing of you too: a nudge past your comfort zone, and a reason to notice the ordinary day you would otherwise walk straight through. Ordinary is not the opposite of special.
Twelve envelopes is not one small thing repeated — it is a year that has something in it. A letter you can hold, from a month you can date. Stay as long as it keeps giving you something; pause or stop any time, and keep everything already sent.
Letters are posted on the 15th of every month. Join before the 15th and your first envelope goes out with this month's post; join after it and you start with next month's. It arrives by ordinary post — a few days within Indonesia, a few weeks abroad. Changing your address any time before the 15th is fine.

the months
you missed.
Every edition is kept. A past letter is the same parcel it was when it was posted — the print that is also a postcard, the sticker, the letter, the little flip-book — sold one at a time, while they last.
Add one to your parcel and it travels with your post, for the same postage. No plan needed: if a past letter is all you want, click the chosen plan above once more to leave it out.
Editions are posted as they were made, and are not reprinted once the last one goes. When they are gone, they are gone.
mosaics of home
the ordinary world,
piece by piece.
Acrylic paintings of what goes unnoticed — wild flowers in the bushes, the ingredients from the market, the light on a kitchen wall. Small pieces, together, are the mosaic of a life. One hundred of them so far.

four series,
painted slowly.
Each is an original acrylic painting on paper, with a visible border. One of one — when it goes, it's gone.
