I'm concurrently running this in the public swaps as well, so if you're interested in a double-dose, feel free to join that swap, too! [link] Let's say "hello" to each other and exchange some colorful MAIL ART! This swap will have 3 components: all of them colorful and all of them sender's choice. First, a creatively decorated envelope. That is an envelope fully decorated, front and back, by hand with more than just a sticker and a strip of washi tape. Express yourself with collage, rubber stamps, paint, drawing or a little bit of everything. Second, inside your envelope you will tuck a handmade-by-you artistic creation. It can be a zine, ATC, altered art card, original art piece, art doll, bookmark, etc. Third, along with the handmade element, you need to include 3 extra enclosures. These enclosures are meant to be supply-type things the recipient can use to send/make mail, e.g., stickers, labels, extra postage, unused postcard, envelope, stationery, etc. Make it interesting and mix it up (do not just send 3 stickers or 3 labels). In keeping with the group philosophy of COLORFUL ART, neutrals, brown and washed-out pastels are off limits. At least as main colors - a brown tree trunk or brown fur on a dog are not objectionable, especially when they are off-set with more bold colors. All hail Roy G. Biv: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. These should be your main colors. Tertiary colors, too, like blue-green, red-orange, etc. Neons are also welcome. Have fun with color. |
