Description:

I love mail, I love art, I love quotes and I love art journals so I thought why not combine them all? This swap is based around envelopes that can be bound or glued to make a wonderful art journal. (Think along the lines of tag books and chunkys.) What you need to do is:

  1. Decorate the front and back of one 16x11cm standard Aus Post sized envelope for each of your partners

  2. Put one or more of your favourite quotes on a tag etc inside that envelope

  3. Leave it unsealed so that the flap can be used to bind the envelopes into a journal

  4. Put the decorated envelope in another envelope and send it to your partners. I ummed and ahhhed about this but thought we would start with a strictly art envelope and play it by ear from then on.

These envelopes need to be amazing and personalised as only you can. Make them reflect the inner creative you!

The envelopes can be home made or purchased ones ... your creative choice.

If people enjoy the swap I will continue a few more so we definitely get a lovely collection together. We will see how it goes!

This first one is sender's choice in theme so you can start decorating as soon as you sign up.

Search for mail art envelopes on google.com.au for some great inspiration.
