Description:

@ladydy5 requested that I create a US only version of my Mail Art Challenge swap so here goes . . .

For this swap you'll have 1 partner and to that partner you will send a mail art challenge in the form of an envelope with a small flat surprise inside!

Here are the requirements:

•incorporate 6 (of the 12) elements listed below

•mail art envie must measure AT LEAST 4.5" x 6" (can be larger)

•an inexpensive flat surprise must be included inside the envie

•you must include a little note detailing which 6 items you chose

•use postage stamps to mail instead of printed label

Now...here are the 12 elements (remember to choose 6). I chose different elements from the international swap so, if USA residents choose, they can participate in both!

  • a cat

  • something green

  • something yellow

  • text

  • a koi fish

  • a tree

  • stripes

  • a vintage/retro woman

  • a snail

  • a tea bag wrapper or tab (the little dangler at the end)

  • thread, twine, or something sewn

  • a mushroom

Participants must have a cumulative 4.95, be rated for 7 Type 2/Type 3 swaps, and be active the week before partners are assigned.

Question: do we put this decorated envie inside another envie do that our partner can then use it, or do we use the decorated envie itself to mail the flat surprise?

@paperpusher ..no, the mail art envie you create should actually be stamped and mailed. I should have been clearer about that--thanks for asking the question.

Hello! I would love to be a part of this group. We've already commented to each other via your inbox and I was excited to be allowed to join. The tab above will not let me join so I don't know how you would like to go about doing so. I will have my things ready and will be looking out for the name of my swap partner.
