I am challenging myself to create 365 pieces of mail art this year. It basically boils down to 1 piece of mail art, each day, for an entire year. Now, that can be done, one piece every day or 7 pieces done on Saturdays, or 30 done on one weekend, or however a person wishes to do it with the goal of 365 by years end.

This swap, helps to get some of the mail art created, in to circulation. You will have 3 partners, and you will send each person, one piece of mail art. It is sender's choice on what type of mail art is sent. I personally like postcards, as they are very artistic and can be mailed for less postage, but anything goes. ;)

The mail art being sent for this swap, can be any type of mail art. It can be a handmade postcards, decorated envelopes, ATC's, zines, bookmarks, anything sent as naked mail...like a rubber chicken, a disposable camera, or a rubber ball (Yes, you can send balls through the mail).

Your mail art can be made using any mediums, like painting, fabric, collaged, illustrated or hand drawn, beaded, or mixed media using some combination of mediums, etc. You can choose to number your art for the year like 1/2013...2/2013, etc or not. It can also be any size or shape...as long as you include enough postage on it......it's your art so it's up to you...just be creative and have fun!

I may do some weekly themes, if you have any ideas, just let me know in the comments section. You may participate in 1 swap, or every week, just join in when you can.....

Please have a filled out pofile and no recent unexplained low ratings. Please be kind and rate your partners.

a geometric rubber ball is trivial, but a geometric rubber chicken would be hard! :^)

Oh yeah...send me a rubber chicken, covered in brightly colored geometric shapes......that would make my month ;D

wolfeagle: i'd like to attempt that my postal lady worker would probably choke on her food. sometimes she tells me certain things I want to mail cant be mailed and I have to redo them. I just don't think I could fix it and do it justice.

Some postal workers are awesome....others, just aren't. But either way, all should accept postcards, envelopes, Atcs, even with geometric shapes ;D
