Hello swappers!

For you partner you will create one circus tent envelope. This means that you are drawing a "circus tent" on the closing flap of an envelope and decorate the front page of the envelope in a matching way (circus theme). Please use a white A6 envelope. Use any coloured pencils, water colours, glitter pens etc. to draw. It must be colourful!

For those who don't know what a circus tent envelope is, please check this link: http://oaxacaborn.com/tag/mail-art/ or ask your questions below!

Flat surprises: Inside the envelope you'll add some surprises for your partner. The surprises must be profile inspired. Please check your partner's profile for their preference. I doesn't have to be exactely from their wishlist but make sure you send something the partner would like. You must add:

1 stickersheet (which fits into an A6 envelope, min. 8 medium sized stickers, not just thumbsized stickers). It must be a sheet, no loose stickers. It can be taken out from a package which means that it doesn't have to be sealed.

1 postcard. It must be unwritten and storebought, no touristy cards.

1 surprise surprise! Something flat that you think your partner would enjoy. Nothing homemade (unless your partner wishes so).

Please also include a note for your partner and decorate it in the circus theme.

Send an envelope that you'd jump of joy to receive. Swapping is about making people happy. If this is not your attitude then please don't join.

Requirements: min. 10 swaps completed and rated. No flakers, I keep myself the right to ban questionable swappers.

I cannot angel the swap. If you do not agree, please don't join.

HAPPY SWAPPING! :)

So I was thinking about these envies as I was working on mine and I was frustrated by the need to glue down the top of the tent i.e. the flap and was bumming cause what if you do all this work and then it's pretty much destroyed by just being opened...then I realized it could all be saved by opening one of the sides and then cutting the flap free from the back ...! Just a thought there....from my art table to yours, so to say...
