Description:

I'm in love with creating mail art and I thought it would be fun to do a mail art envie based on favorite "Old Hollywood" Starlets.

Some examples would be starlets like : Ingrid Bergman (Casablanca), Audrey Hepburn (Breakfast at Tiffany's), Marilyn Monroe (How to Marry a Millionaire),Vivien Leigh (Gone With the Wind), Katherine Hepburn (Bringing up Baby), Grace Kelly (How to Catch a Thief), Greta Garbo, Josephine Baker, etc. This is just a small list, there is so many more to choose from!

You may use whatever your preferred medium is to create your mail art, whether it's collage, rubber stamping, drawing, mixed media, stencil, colored pencils, whatever it is just make sure you send work your proud of! (You can use magazine cut-outs of Starlets or nice printed out pics from your printer, lots of images on Google & Pinterest!)

Use a 5x7 size envie, or as near to that size as you can get,(if your a tiny bit under that's okay) and include a selection of flat, mail art supplies in it for your partner to use on future projects! If you want to go with a bigger envie that's fine to but no more than a size 6x9. Your starlet theme on the outside of the envie does not need to be profile based, but please try to send mail art supplies on the inside of your envie that your partner will enjoy. Fill the envelope generously.

4.98 to join. You need at least 5 completed type 2/3 swaps, as well as no unreasonable or unresolved bad ratings to participate.

I am watching for now because I need to find 5 by 7 envelopes

My envelopes seem to be just under that size ....

I changed the description to say 5x7 or near and if your a tiny bit under 5x7 that's ok, I hope that helps, and also for anyone else watching with similar dilemma, 5x7 is like a standard greeting card size envie for say a Hallmark card, but if your near enough that's fine. :)
