OMAE: Altered Ephemera Mail Art

Turn a piece of authentic ephemeral something into a piece of art. Use any piece of ephemera you wish - clothing tag, brochure, bingo card, product packaging, take-out menu, paper coaster, receipt, junk mailer - and alter it in any technique/style you wish. Any medium is OK.

To be clear: the goal is not using a piece of ephemera as an embellishment on a piece (like a used postage stamp on an ATC) but turning the ephemera itself into a little piece of art. If you have questions, please ask.

Your altered ephemera work of art can be sent naked as a postcard, but if it's too small or otherwise non-machinable for that, please send it in a creative envelope.

There's no size restriction on this, though if you choose something small (like a raffle ticket) alter more than one - maybe do something like a tiny accordion booklet with 3-5 tickets (just an idea).
