Hey everyone! I decided to start a mail art swap since I couldn't find one. A definition of Mail Art from Wikipedia: "Mail art is art which uses the postal system as a medium. The term mail art can refer to an individual message, the medium through which it is sent, or an artistic genre. Mail art is also known as postal art and is sometimes referred to as Correspondence/Mail Art (CMA). Mail artists typically exchange ephemera in the form of illustrated letters, zines, rubberstamped, decorated or illustrated envelopes, artist trading cards, postcards, artistamps, faux postage, mail-interviews, naked mail, friendship books, decos, and three-dimensional objects." So, basically, you will have 1 partner to which you will send a letter introducing yourself and you can follow the following guidelines in order to get a perfect rating: ~ A decorated envelope. (Drawings, stickers, paintings) ~ A decent letter introducing yourself. ~ Any art within the envelope. ~ Extra goodies within the envelope (zines, gel pens, mix CD's, dotee's, etc.) ~ A SMALL profile surprise within the envelope. Ratings of 4.8 or higher, and newbies are welcome with a well filled-out profile, just no flakers please. I can angel if I absolutely need to. Message me if you have any questions or comments! |
