Description:

For this swap you will create an original piece of mail art for one partner. This is an international swap. There will not be any set theme, or color to follow for this. This is something to express yourself, to remember why we create art. Lately I've been finding my way back to doing things to express myself, and it's a great feeling. I want to share that with all of you.

So, create a piece of mail art- it can be a store bought envelope that has been decorated, or a hand cut envelope. Do not just slap some stickers onto an envelope, draw, paint, or sketch something. Don't be afraid to try something new, or to use part of your partners address as part of the mail art.

I also love long letters. Inside of the mail art include a letter that is at least 3 pages long (one side) to your partner. If you want to include any extras, I'm sure that will earn you a heart <3

Before I forget, no 1's in the last 3 months, and no more than one no 3 in the last 3 months. No more than one 1 or 3 in the last six months. Newbies with a well filled out profile welcome.

If anyone flakes, I will angel... so let's get to it, shall we?

So is the idea that the envelope is the main piece of art or mat I fill the. Envelope with othe ways I express my self artistically? For example: I might send a pair of moveable paper dolls, like Frida and Diego or even Trotsky. I might sent two post cards from my current summer travels in June, or I might sent a hand made postcard celebrating our independence day of July 4th...do these types of art count for this swap? Thanks for helping me to more fully understand the spirit of this particular swap. Love, paula

Paula - the main piece of art would be the actual envelope. If you want to include other handmade/artistic goodies that would be great too. Maybe for a future swap I will make a swap similar to this, but to swap handmade and creative goodies inside the envelope instead of the long letter. I hope that this clarifies it a little bit for you :) If you have any other questions, just ask!
