Creative Mail Art 2 - (Spring) Flowers

The first "creative mail art" swap seems to be quite popular so I am going to carry on doing monthly themed swaps and see how it goes. The April swap has a flower theme for spring, you can use any kind of flowers though not just typical spring ones.

For this swap we will each have 2 partners and we will send them a letter or card in a hand decorated (could be handmade too) envelope. The envelopes can be decorated in any style or medium you choose but they must follow the theme of flowers.. The letter or card inside should contain something about how you decorated the envelope and your inspiration.

So 2 partners with one letter in a mail art envelope to each, that's two letters with decorated envelopes in total.

Pease make sure that the address is clearly visible on the envelope and not difficult for the post people to read, also make sure your return address is visible on the envelope just in case! Don't forget to put your name and the swap name somewhere on the envelope or letter too so that you can be rated.

The term "Mail Art" referrs to the practice of hand decorating envelopes before sending them in the post. How you choose to decorate them is up to you, just so long as they will survive the postal system! Some ideas are collage, rubber stamping, drawing, doodling, painting etc. "Mail Art" can also apply to other hand decorated postal items such as postcards.

Newbies are welcome to join this swap but please have a we;ll filled out profile. I want everyone to enjoy the swap so please don't join of you wont be able to complete. If you have a low rating please make sure the reason is exlained in your profile or get in touch with me before signing up. Everyone deserves another chance but it has to be fair for everyone.

If you have any questions or problems please feel free to get in touch, happy swapping!
