SWL ~ O ~ Mail Art

We'll go through the alphabet, one letter at a time, creating mail art for our partner. These mail art envelopes / postcards could go in smashbooks, journals or albums when you have a whole A-Z set :)

Mail art is a decorated envelope, handmade envelope, or postcard. If you are sending a postcard, please make sure it is on a sturdy piece of card, cardboard, or card stock; it may travel internationally so make sure it can withstand the journey. :) Whatever you decide to make, be sure to send it "naked" and not inside another envelope.

It's not as easy as that. Sorry! There are some interesting themes. Time to get really creative! Themes are not as easy as colours, and may challenge you to think, "How will I use that???" For each of your envelope, there will be 4 themes that begin with that letter. Please incorporate at least one of these themes into your mail art.

This time features the letter O. Please choose a minimum of one theme from below and use it in your mail art. You are welcome to try them all if you are super creative! Use any mediums and techniques you want to create your mail art and feel free to use cut outs, collage, embellishments, quotes, or anything else you like in your art. The piece you send is senders choice, but please create something you are proud of! (and no sticker slapping)

O: Owl, Orange, Ocean, Optimism

Please include at least a note for your partner. Extra surprises are optional.

Any questions? Just ask! :-)
