Swap details:
One partner, one decorated envelope inspired by your junk drawer OR inspired by something from your junk drawer. You may decorate in whatever manner you wish, however please take the time to make it something you'd be happy to receive--typically, decorated envie swaps ask for at least one side of the envelope to be decorated (with a cleared space for the receiver's address); a couple of stickers slapped on there probably won't be enough. Also, keep in mind it will need to be sturdy/durable enough to go through the mail--envelopes made from thinner papers like magazines and some craft papers will often come apart in the machines.
Include one random item (sender's choice) inside the envelope that might be found in your junk drawer. Extras are nice but not needed, though if you find something you think your partner might like, you are welcome to tuck it in there! Please don't treat this as a de-stash unless your partner's profile indicates that they would like this, and please try to avoid including any obvious dislikes.
Also include a friendly note with your username and the name of the swap. You may also want to explain the inspiration of your art, methods, etc. if you wish.
AAMA group rules apply; please DM me with questions/concerns, or if you have issues with your partner that you have been unable to resolve. Thank you and happy swapping!
