Description: | |
For this swap we will be creating one decorated mail art envelope for one partner. The envelope will need to include at least one female muse. By this I mean a photograph, drawing, magazine picture, stamp etc. of a human female. She could be (but is not limited to) a fairy, cabaret dancer, angel, flapper, saint, queen, little girl and so on. Decorate your envelope with anything you like: paint, pastel, collage, stamps etc. but it must be clear in the result that you have made a real EFFORT and been really creative. Don't be afraid to let your imagination run wild! The envelope MUST be sent NAKED i.e. not inside another envelope. Stamps and postmarks are part of the joy of mail art. Without them, the result is kind of disappointing. If you are concerned about damage, a layer of clear glue, clear plastic or something similar over the top of your work should make it more robust. Inside the envelope please send a short note introducing yourself (and mentioning the swap name) along with a flat surprise for your partner, such as papers, postcards, stickers or handmade envelopes. It would be best to check their profile first to see what they like to receive. Please rate a 5 if you receive your swap and it meets the requirements, even if it is not really your kind of thing. Please contact your partner and myself before rating a 1 or a 3. I will angel if I need to. Please ask any questions :) |
