Mail Art On-the-Go

One of my favorite things to do lately is create mail art. But sometimes I get inspiration when I'm away from home and by the time I get home...well...the inspiration has passed. Imagine yourself driving in your car, being inspired, creating a piece of mail art, and mailing it out immediately!

For this swap, you will create a mail-art-on-the-go parcel for your partner. The idea is that your partner can be inspired to create a piece of mail art and, if they're carrying the parcel you sent, they can send something out BEFORE returning home! Inside the parcel, you will include 5 (or more) of the following items:

• 3 postcards

• set of tiny markers

• 4 postage stamps (forever first class or postcard)

• address labels

• 3 notecards

• a sheet of stickers

• a tiny rubber stamp with a tiny inkpad

• adhesive for paper

• colored pencil minis

• 2 colored pens

• deco tape

• a tiny paper punch or punched paper

• handmade envelopes of different sizes

• cardstock cut into postcard size (4"x6")

The items you send must be inside a tote of some type--the pencil pouches made for notebooks work well or one of the larger zippered pencil pouches or cosmetic bags (new, please!) Many of these "mini" items are available in the $1 bins at Michaels and Target.

Make certain when choosing the items you send that you select 5 different items, and make sure they are items that will enable your partner to create and send a piece of mail directly from the mail art tote. Don't just send 5 sticker sheets. Be creative and think about what you would like to use when creating a piece of mail art.

Everyone with a 4.8+ rating is welcome in the swap. If your rating is lower than 4.8 and you still want to participate, please message me; we can work something out. I will angel if necessary.
