Hey! Don't ignore this swap just because you think you aren't good at art. Your art is wonderful, you are beautiful, let's send some mail.

This is a pretty open to interpretation swap, you should send one bit of mail art in the theme "self portrait" to your partner.
Mail art can include but is not limited to:
-altered postcards
-decorated envelopes
-weirdly mailable decorated flat things
-hand done postcards.
-little sculpture things
-???

Your self portrait can be done in any medium-
stamp, photograph, drawing, painting, collage, words (writing, etc)
Anything can be a self portrait.

Please use enough postage on your pieces. Generally mail art is going to take at least an extra surcharge stamp to mail domestically.
If you are afraid your mail art might not make it, photocopy or photograph it before you send. That way if your piece is so cool the mailman steals it to stick on his fridge, you can still show your partner what you made. (:

Put effort into your swap, make it something that will make your partner say "neat-o" (or equivalent)
Nudity, vulgarity, etc welcome here. If having naked women in your mailbox may offend you, don't join (:

I'm super duper sorry to my international friends, but I just do not have enough knowledge of international postal regulations or pricing on mail art to be comfortable hosting an international version of this swap in the flesh.
