Description: | |
Create one 8.5" x 11" masterboard that is a collage of re-mail papers. Re-mail is short for "recycled mail" (a term coined by the rad @oblivionspin ) and includes any sort ephemeral debris or mail art pieces you've received via post. Things like cancelled postage, junk mail, security envelope liners, stamped images on envelopes, collage envelope pieces, interesting note card pieces--all the anonymous leftovers that can still serve a creative purpose. By mail art pieces, I don't mean things like ATCs or other little artworks. Don't chop up someone's artwork. We'll have 2 partners for this swap, which means you'll split your masterboard in half and send one half to each partner--in an envelope. Create your masterboard on something lightweight, but not too flimsy. Heavyweight cardstock, recycled file folder & bristol paper are all substantial enough. Make sure any paper bits you use are free of any addresses or other personal info. Please don't seal your masterboard with Mod Podge or gel medium! This is cut+paste collage only -- save the other mediums and sealing for your partner. |
