This swap is for the 6 of us who have signed up on the mail art FORUM THREAD - Angie, Joybells2426, bigmamabird, Ginavisione, amookislandcreations and kittyhahahotbot. Once we are all signed up, I'll post the order in which we send at that forum and we'll do all of the keeping track on that thread. We will each make a booklet by folding 3 pieces of 7 x 10 inche pieces of either 110 lb. cardstock or 90 lb. watercolor paper or thicker type paper and sewing it down the middle (by hand or machine). It could also be stapled if you absolutely couldn't sew. Just make sure that the pages fold over neatly. Holding the booklet closed you will treat it as a fat postcard and do a journal page, collage, or painting on one side and use the other for the address, note and stamps. Apply stickers or small pieces of packing tape to the three open sides for mailing. If you would like people to stick to a theme, please put that in your first note to the partner you send to. When you get the first mailart zine in the mail, cut open the tape, fold over a page and again treat the booklet as a fat postcard. Try to complete your page and move it along to your partner as soon as possible~~at least within two weeks. It would also be great if you would photograph or scan your work and post it on Flickr or another site. Comment in the forum when you receive a zine. Comment in the forum when you send it off. We will all work in each booklet eventually. At the end of the process we will each have our own round robin mailart zine that has traveled far and wide! By setting it up as a swap as well as a thread we get to rate each other at the end. This is a multi-month committment. Be sure you're up for it before you sign up. I think we're all cool but I just have to say that! If you missed your chance to be in this swap, PM me and I'll put you on a waiting list for a future swap. |
