Description:

We'll go through the alphabet, 3 letters at a time, creating mail art for our partners. These mail art envelopes/postcards could go in smashbooks, journals or albums when you have a whole A-Z set :)

We'll have 3 partners & you'll create and send 1 Mail Art piece for each partner.

Mail art is a decorated envelope, handmade envelope, or postcard. if sending a postcard please make sure it is on a sturdy piece of card, cardboard or card stock. it may travel international so make sure it can withstand the journey :) If you are making or decorating an envelope make sure it is sent "naked" e.g, stamped and addressed please do not send your mail art inside another envelope!

It's not as easy as that. Sorry! There's some interesting themes. This is so we get really creative. Themes are not as easy as colours, and challenge you to think, "How will I use that???"

For each of your envelopes, there will be 4 themes that begin with that letter. Please incorporate at least one of these themes into your mail art.

This time is letters A-C. Please choose a minimum 1 theme for each letter, from below, and use it in your mail art. A photo, an embellishment, a quote, a motif, etc. Mail art does not have to all that theme but does have to feature it. Mail art can use any mediums, any techniques and it is senders choice. Please create something you are proud of, and no sticker slapping.

  • Partner 1 - A: Ancient, Atlas, Apple, Airmail

  • Partner 2 - B: Bumblebee, Balloon, Britain, Bicycle

  • Partner 3 - C: Circus, Cartoon, Candle, Century

Please include at least a note inside for your partner. Extra surprises are optional.

Please clarify: do we create the themed envie and then put it in a mailing envelope? (Also decorated, I presume?) Or are we just making a mail art envie that is stamped, addressed and mailed? If this second option, then do we add some ephemera inside that our partner would like?

it's mail art so it is the envelope (or postcard) that you send. you can add in ephemera if you wish.

I have changed the requirements with more information. I hope this helps :) it's not a difficult swap, just a usual mail art swap. Like mail art october, etc
