Meta Mail Art ATC
Picture above is an ACEO by Hazel Fisher
There were so many great ideas flying around for the first run of this swap that I thought it would be a fun one to run regularly. For those who missed it last time(!), here is the original swap description:

ATCs, as a form of art traded through the mail, constitute a form of mail art in and of themselves – (see description here ). Mail art as a whole, though, is a pretty broad umbrella. So for this swap, the theme of the ATC itself is mail art: whatever that means to you, apply it to your ATC.

Any technique of creation is fair game – whatever medium you work with, go for it. Pencil sketches are as welcome as mixed media collage, textiles as welcome as digitally manipulated artwork.

Swap requirements

  • 2 partners = 1 ATC sent to each partner
  • ATC to meet standard size, 2.5” x 3.5”
  • Reverse of ATC to be signed & dated (additional info entirely optional, e.g. contact details, edition, medium etc)
  • If you haven't included your SB user name on the ATC reverse, make sure it is clearly marked either on the envelope or included in a separate note.

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. :-)

Sorry guys..I'm not having any inspiration for this one right now...

Don't you just hate it when the muse deserts you? But have you been remembering to leave out your offerings to the mail art gods? It could be that they just need a little encouragement/bribery before descending to inspire you... ;-)
