Description:

Mail art is so much fun to create and receive! Whether they are collaged, taped up, painted, doodled or anything.. they are better then plain envies anyday!

For this swap you will send out your pretty, pretty envies to 3 partners. Make them unique! Nothing too plain and if you plan on sticking a sticker and calling it done, this swap isn't for you. The 3 envelopes we make are the ones we stamp, address and send.

Envelopes can be any size! Inside you can include something fun for your partners, but it's completely senders choice. You can even decorate huge bubble envelopes if you're super excited! (lol)

Try to use stamps on the envelopes as well. Barcodes tend to cover up your art and I know my post office people stick them anywhere they want. I also think stamps kind of make the envie special too. However, this isn't required.

Some ideas for what to put inside:

  • Inspirational quotes!
  • Street art!
  • Stickers!
  • Photos!
  • Postcards!
  • Funny local ads!
  • Tea!
  • Buttons!

Or anything you'd like to share! This swap is International and although it shouldn't be much to send out, please keep that in mind before joining, along with the time to make your envies.

NEWBIES WELCOME WITH FILLED OUT PROFILES.

I will angel if I have to and I'm giving some time to make them!

Have fun! ♥

Just a note (or reminder) that you CANNOT send tea to anyone in Australia. Customs will seize and destroy the whole envelope, not just the tea. Most things you can send here, including candy etc -- just not anything organic or biological in nature.

Do we send one envie per swap partner, to three partners?

rachrnm 04/28/2011 #

I'm wondering the same thing as @faeswapgrl One envie to three partners?

Looking forward to this! :)

@papercaper ~ Thank you for the reminder!

@faeswapgrl & @rachrnm ~ Yes, exactly! 1 envie to 3 partners. So 3 envies all together:)

I can't wait.

@beckycreates ~ Aww, thanks:) Glad you can join!

Stamps on the envies. Is that postage that's obvious or stamping stamps. Are we sending envies that can be used by receiver or are u saying we send a note or something inside a decorated envie.

papercaper 05/ 8/2011 #

@ladydy5 - the 'stamps' refers to postage stamps, not rubber stamps. But I'm sure rubber stamps would be welcome too. :) Also: the envelope we make is the one we stamp, address and send.

Thanks @papercaper for making that clearer! I'll also add that to the swap description as it's easily understood that way.

Thank you everyone for getting this in the TOP 10 again! :D:D!

Looked at the pictures of previous enves .. so glad it doesn't mean MY ART. Can use Found ART. Three enves .. but they don't NEED to be all the same. Right? I'm in IF you'll have me. Cocobean

provadia 05/13/2011 #

@Cocobean ~ Yeah, definitely! They don't have to be all the same, and art envie can be anything you interpret it to!

provadia 05/13/2011 #

TOP 6! Thanks everyone!!! :D

Quick question: What is Street Art? =o)

provadia 05/15/2011 #

@CoffeePotPeople ~ It's graffiti, or stickers made by artists that are left outside and aren't really for purchase. I have found many of them in local shops (that you can take for free) or on the subway. You don't have to send any if you can't them!:)

I am a little nervous about this, but also excited. :D

Is there a minimum to how many items should be inside? My envies are all painted and ready to go... just wondering what to put inside.
