Make a mail art envelope for your partner - this round it's TRAVEL! Decorate your envelope with anything related to travel! You can make the envelope or use a store bought one. Please use real postage stamps.

You can decorate any way you want: collage, stickers, rubber stamps, washi, drawing; whatever you wish! You can use more than one medium. This part is all sender's choice.

Please be sure to use a label or leave a space so that the post office can read the address and deliver your swap!!

Enclose a short note and mail it off. Have fun!! : )

Could also do envelopes inspired by concepts -- freedom, creativity, dreams, diversity, sisterhood, hope, unity, etc

susieq11 01/29/2021 #

That’s a great idea too @jamicam - I’m just not sure I could be creative enough! : D

Love ALL of @Lonestarchild too! So many great ideas!

Just me, maybe, but for these Mail Art envelope swaps I would love it if we were also told to put a few goodies related to that theme in the envie for our partner instead of just a note.

Hi Shirley! A long time ago I’d asked if people wanted to add any goodies - a lot of people liked just doing the envelope and a note so I stick with it. Maybe we can do a special round to add themed extras soon!!

Some ideas (I am not sure what themes have been used so some may have been done already): books or movies, season / weather, a day in the life (of sender), doodles / spirograph / zentangle, shapes, trees, houses, board games / card games, music, what is outside my window.
