Mail Me some Mail Art, inside and out
Inside
The inside of your envelope/package should contain a minimum of 3 handmade items that are in some way mail art or postal related. The list below gives some examples, but is not all-encompassing: feel free to send any 3 handmade items that are mail art or postal related – include an explanatory note, just in case your thought processes aren't obvious to your partner!
- An ATC
- A postcard
- A zine (art/craft/mail art/correspondence themed)
- A small address book
- A notecard with envelope or letterset (2 writing sheets with envelope)
- A set of envelopes (minimum 4, of legally mail-able dimensions)
- Mailing labels (a strip or sheet)
- Faux postage (a small sheet, e.g. A5 or half-size – or the equivalent number of loose stamps)
- A hand-carved rubber stamp
Outside
The outside of your envelope/package should be as fun to receive as the inside. This can be as simple as adding your own faux postage/artistamps to the outside, to decorating an entire envelope with your choice of artwork, to packaging in a handmade envelope of some kind, or sending within some kind of 'container' that you would not normally see mailed. Be creative!
Swap requirements
- Items must all be handmade.
- You may re-gift items, but make sure that the original artist is credited.
- The swap is sender's choice, but please put in some thought, & try to make your partner smile.
- The outside of your envelope/package must be in some way decorated and/or creative.
- 2 partners = 2 swap packages sent, and 2 swap packages received.
The obvious bit
You already had to have a rating of 4.9+ with no recent no-sends, 1s or 3s to join this group anyway, so the same stands for this swap. But I will still double-check before assigning partners, so if you have what you feel is an unfair comment or rating, just PM me & we can try to work it out. :-)
