Description:

This week is Sender's Choice. Have fun!

I am challenging myself to create 365 pieces of mail art this year. It basically boils down to 1 piece of mail art, each day, for an entire year. Now, that can be done, one piece every day or 7 pieces done on Saturdays, or 30 done on one weekend, or however a person wishes to do it with the goal of 365 by years end.

This swap, helps to get some of the mail art created, in to circulation. You will have 3 partners, and you will send each person, one piece of mail art. It is sender's choice on what type of mail art is sent. I personally like postcards, as they are very artistic and can be mailed for less postage, but anything goes. ;)

The mail art being sent for this swap, can be any type of mail art. It can be a handmade postcards, decorated envelopes filled with something, ATC's, zines, bookmarks, anything sent as naked mail...like a rubber chicken, a disposable camera, or a rubber ball (Yes, you can send balls through the mail). When sending items in an envelope, please decorate the envelope also.

Your mail art can be made using any mediums, like painting, fabric, collaged, illustrated or hand drawn, beaded, or mixed media using some combination of mediums, etc. You can choose to number your art for the year like 1/2013...2/2013, etc or not. It can also be any size or shape...as long as you include enough postage on it......it's your art so it's up to you...just be creative and have fun!

I may do some weekly themes, if you have any ideas, just let me know in the comments section. You may participate in 1 swap, or every week, just join in when you can.....

Please have a filled out pofile and no recent unexplained low ratings. Please be kind and rate your partners.

Hi there! I looove mail art & this "open" theme, however, I am really hesitant to sign up for any of the swaps that have more than 1 partner. I really want to send super quality & thoughtfulness as much as possible. My job is 50 plus hours a week & we are in the retail holiday season....so I'm sad to hold myself back from signing up for this one. Could future swaps have one partner instead? Just a thought. ...hope everyone has fun though!

The swaps vary, from 1-3 partners. I would suggest just signing up for the ones that have only one partner. Unfortunately, I can not make all our swaps only 1 partner. I am happy to swap privately with anyone who feels 2 or 3 partners are too many. ;)
