Description:

This is the continuation of a series I started in the group, Mail Art Mavens. Hope you will all join in the fun! I just finished sending out my 'H' card--Hippo! So . . . I'm ready to begin work on 'I' . . . are you?

Just like the other cards, you'll have 1 partner and you'll create a mail art postcard picturing an animal (and other things, if you like) beginning with the letter 'I.' Please put the letter 'I' somewhere on the front of the postcard. I have seen a similar series in another group or in public swapland, so this is not my original idea but I'm claiming an animal version for our group! When we're done we should have an entire set of 26 animal alphabet mail art postcards!

Since this will be a set, let's keep the size of the postcards uniform. I'd LIKE to keep each card at 5" x 7.

So . . . that's 1 5"x7" mail art postcard featuring an animal beginning with the letter 'I'.

Some suggestions: ibis, impala, iguana . . . .can you think of any others?

Let's use the term "animal" loosely to mean any living creature (other than human). I would accept a Butterfly for the letter 'B' HOWEVER . . . let's ALL avoid snakes and spiders! Personally I am terrified of spiders and I know others who feel the same way about snakes.

Send on time, remember to rate your partner and have a ton of creative fun picking your 'I' animal!

Fun swap! Lots of fishy type things ... Isopods include woodlice (land) and fishlice (sea). The Ichthyosaur was a family of prehistoric sea reptiles related to the dinosaurs. Ictalurus is a type of catfish. Ictiobus is a buffalo fish. Ide is another name for the freshwater fish.

Darn it! I missed another one. Now I'll be missing both "B" and "I". Anyone want to do a private swap with me for either of those two (and I can send you letters that you need or other mail art)?
