Description:

(DISCLAIMER : the above pic is not mine, I googled mail art and this was a really cool looking example)

I know this is an atc group but I thought I might spice it up a bit. I have always wanted to try mail art and I did the other day for the first time. I really liked it and wanted to join a swap like this for beginners. The swap I liked had too many people sign up so I thought I might try it out in a group first.

So, 1 ATC for 1 partner (normal group rules apply, it musty be drawn, sketched, inked, painted etc, by hand) and a nice mail art envie to match. The theme is open but please make it something you would like to receive. Also, please check the mailing sizes of envies before decorating I had to pay four times as much because I was a few mm's off in size. It does not have to be profile based but please take your partners likes and dislikes into consideration. Please decorate your envie with enough place for the stamps and airmail sticker. ( I will first buy the stamps for the envelope and then decorate around it, but that is just me). Please try to cover the whole envelope with art,leaving a space for the address and stapms.

2 weeks to sign up and two weeks to send.

Please decorate the front AND BACK and cover with something protective so that it does not get ruined (clear packing tape worked for me.)

Just double checking - where it says "and a nice mail art envie to match" - do the ATC and envelope have to be decorated with the same theme?
