Description:

Mail art is simply art that is sent through the postal system. For this swap, our art will be on an envelope.

  1. Acquire or make an envelope. You choose the size.
  2. Do your art thing on the front of the envelope.

  3. Any medium is acceptable except sticker slapping. If you send an envelope that's covered in stickers, with no other effort, your partner can rate you a 3. I want you to draw, collage, paint, zentangle, etc. In other words, use those art supplies you're hoarding. ;) Theme is sender's choice.

  4. Decorating the back is optional, not required.

  5. Inside, enclose a letter that tells your partner three things about you. Letter can be handwritten or typed.
  6. Send ON TIME. This is one of the swap requirements.
  7. Rate your partner promptly.
  8. Communicate if there are any problems or delays.

There are literally thousands of ideas of mail art on Pinterest, Flickr, and via Google, if you need inspiration.

Not talented enough to join I would feel sorry for my partners

SherylKay, Anything that shows effort is talent! It doesn't have to be a Picasso. Splatter some paint on it, watercolor a rainbow, do some stamping and color it in, whatever you can muster, as long as you are doing your best to decorate the envelope with what you've got, anyone would be happy with it.
