Description:

I love mail, I love art, I love quotes and I love art journals so I thought why not combine them all? This swap is based around envelopes that can be bound or glued to make a wonderful art journal or used as pockets, tip ins etc in art journals. The theme for this swap is travel - Paris, Rome, Kakadu, the Wright Brothers, boats, planes, cars, horse and cart .... the ideas are endless.

What you need to do is:

  1. Decorate the front and back of one 16x11cm standard Aus Post sized envelope for each of your partners in a vintage theme. It is up to you whether you address this envelope to your partner but don't forget to put your name on the back flap.

  2. Put one or more of your favourite quotes on a tag etc inside that envelope. Tag needs to measure at least 10x7 cm.

  3. Leave it unsealed so that the flap can be used to bind the envelopes into a journal.

  4. Put the decorated envelope in another envelope and send it to your partners.

These envelopes need to be amazing and personalised as only you can. Make them reflect the inner creative you!

The envelopes can be home made or purchased ones ... your creative choice.

Search for mail art envelopes on google.com.au for some great inspiration.

Hi Manjigirl just a couple of points I would like clarified.... This is a Travel theme? I ask because Point no 1 says "Decorate the front and back of one 16x11cm standard Aus Post sized envelope for each of your partners in a vintage theme."(not travel) Point 2 "Put one or more of your favourite quotes on a tag etc inside that envelope"does that mean it has to be a quote as such or does the "etc" imply it can be words? Cheers De

Interesting points, I'm curious bout those points 2.

Hi Mamacrystal Travel theme it is - oopsy to copying the last swap! Also with the tag etc comment it basically means put something that resembles a tag (eg tag, postcard, bookmark) in the envelope and write a quote related to travelling on it. Hope that helps. Cheers
