Description:

This is a swap to really show off your chops and make your envelopes themselves a work of art. I want to see gorgeous hand painted, drawn, written, collaged, embellished pieces of work making their way through the postal system, each filled with a few special pieces of something nice for it's recipient.

Here are some examples of what I mean by mail art: http://www.flickr.com/groups/mailart/pool/

The possibilities are endless! Decoration is sender's choice, but please try to fill your envies with goodies your parter will like (at least 3 things). Envelopes should be roughly 6x9.

you should all have an assigned partner by now, but if you for some reason don't, get in touch with me. i'm also willing to angel for any flakers, though hopefully that won't be necessary

Hopefully I've covered everything well, but if you have questions, feel free to ask below or message me!

I've been looking at so much mail art on pinterest, but this is my first time joining a swap for it! I am nervous and excited! :)

I started mine already but it's 8 x 11. I didn't see the sizing on here before starting it. Is that ok?

CariadElska 03/16/2014 #

8x11 is totally fine - the size was 6x9, but sometimes you gotta go where your art takes you! :)

I just saw the size...after I finished my artwork. Mine is larger then 4 x 6 but a little smaller then 6 x 9...

CariadElska 03/20/2014 #
