Mail Art-Week 41 (Masterboard)

This week is themed. The theme is a Collaged Masterboard mail art. Please make and send 3 collaged masterboard postcards,.......1 for each of your 3 partners. Your postcard must be at least 5 x 7 inches for this swap. You can make your postcards up to 6-1/8" x 11-1/2" x 1/4" thick and still qualify for the letter rate in the US, if you choose.

There are many ways to make a Masterboard, so have fun. Start with a large sturdy background for mailing purposes. Add collaged bits of papers, magazine images, or textured items, photos, fibers, etc. You can use stamped images or draw your own. You could even add some zentangling or doodles. Add colors, inks, splashes. Use varied mediums for different effects. Include 4 or 5 different "elements", then cut to your desired postcard sizes.

Masterboard Video Here is a video tutorial on youtube.

Your partner can then use this started Masterboard in their future projects.

I am challenging myself to create 365 pieces of mail art this year. It basically boils down to 1 piece of mail art, each day, for an entire year. Now, that can be done, one piece every day or 7 pieces done on Saturdays, or 30 done on one weekend, or however a person wishes to do it with the goal of 365 by years end.

This swap, helps to get some of the mail art created, in to circulation. You will have 3 partners, and you will send each person, a collaged masterboard postcard.

Your mail art can be made using any mediums, like painting, fabric, collaged, illustrated or hand drawn, beaded, or mixed media using some combination of mediums, etc. You can choose to number your art for the year like 1/2013...2/2013, etc or not. It can also be any size or shape...as long as you include enough postage on it......it's your art so it's up to you...just be creative and have fun!

I may do some weekly themes, if you have any ideas, just let me know in the comments section. You may participate in 1 swap, or every week, just join in when you can.....

Please have a filled out pofile and no recent unexplained low ratings. Please be kind and rate your partners.
