Dear Wild Heart, is a monthly art mail subscription for folks who want to reconnect with their wild & creative hearts through handmade art and creative inspiration.
Each month features an original cyanotype print from an ongoing project called whispers from The WilderMess: reminders for a wild, grieving, and hope-filled heart. The pieces from this project are printed on 2.5 inch x 3.5 inch pieces of cold-pressed watercolor paper. They include a poem or thoughts written by Marika printed along with foliage gathered from the wild. Each print will have that month's poem or thought, but the pattern of brush strokes and placement of wild things will be different for each print delivered. And so, no one will have the exact same piece of art as the one that finds its way to you.
Your monthly subscription includes:
💙 An original hand-printed cyanotype artwork (2.5 inches x 3.5 inches) with a Certificate of Authentication signed by Marika
💙 A letter from Marika
💙 1-2 surprises to help inspire you to create something, connect with someone, or be in conversation with your wild & creative heart (this could look like a bookmark, postcard print, sticker, or some other wild thing I've come up with)
💙 Access to a secret password-protected webpage full of extra wild things created by Marika specifically for the current collection

Art Mail FAQs
When can I sign up for Dear Wild Heart?
You can sign up anytime!
Sign up by the 5th of the month to receive the current collection (shipped by the 5th of the following month).
If you sign up after the 5th, your subscription will begin with the next month's collection (example: sign up June 6th-July 5th, and you will receive the next art mail collection in August)
When will I receive my art mail?
Dear Wild Heart collections are sent via snail mail (USPS standard envelope with no tracking) by the 5th of each month.
If you are in the US, it should arrive 5-10 business days after shipping. If you are outside of the US it can take 5-28 business days after shipping to arrive.
Sometimes things get lost or just take a little longer to find their way to their final destination, but if you haven't received your art mail by the above timelines, please feel free to reach out to me via email marika@thewildermess.com.
When will I be charged for my subscription?
Your subscription renews on the same day of the month that you initially signed up. So if you subscribed on May 25th, your next charge will be on June 25th, then July 25th, and so on until you cancel.
How do I change/pause/cancel my subscription?
You can manage your subscription in the customer portal here.
If you'd like to cancel your subscription, make sure to do so before your next billing cycle, otherwise you will still be charged for the next collection release.
Do you accept returns or give refunds on art mail?
I do not accept returns on art mail, or give refunds once your subscription has been charged or renewed. If you do not wish to continue your subscription, you can cancel before your next renewal date via your customer portal.
However, if your art mail was lost or damaged enroute to you, please reach out to me via email so that I can send you a new one.
Why is there a month between signup cut-off and shipping dates?
The cyanotype pieces (the ACEO-sized piece, the bookmark, and sometimes a third item) in your art mail are handmade by me. Each one is unique, and takes time to create. The designs for other possible pieces in your art mail (like postcards or stickers) are first created by me, and then outsourced for printing which also takes time. I wait until signups are closed to order however many outsourced items are needed, and print all final pieces.
Because we're still in the beginning of this journey, I want to give myself more time than I might need. If the timeline is able to shift later, I will let you know!
