SWL ~ Mail Art December

I'm sorry for this one going up so late; but we needed extra time anyway as the mailing gets a little slow around this time of year. I plan to have Mail Art January up for the 1st january as usual, so it will be alongside this one.

You are more than welcome to join this swap if you have never participated before, or if you have never done mail art before.

For this swap you will have 5 partners & a month to send to all of them. The idea is that you send to each partner throughout the month, not all at once, or at the last minute. PLEASE don't join this swap if you can't do this. Send to all of your partners gradually through the month. Bare in mind international partners! I will not be sending reminders when to send to your partners, it is up to you. Therefore please be responsible and good with time management.

Below for you are some themes for each envie. Please choose at least 4 themes to use given on each envie. You don't have to use all of them but TRY!! ;) if you super creative then go for it! I'd love to see everyone trying to use as many as they can :)

Combined themes do not count as 2. For example using an "orange stripe" for orange and stripe, doesn't count as 2 from the list. That could be either a stripe, or orange. No cheating. ;)

Please don't sticker slap, write a quote on a plain envie & call it done, or send a pre-made decorated envie from the store. It's called mail art for a reason! Anything goes as long as it fits at least 4 themes somehow and you get creative.

Include at least a note inside for your partner explaining themes you used. Surprises/extras are up to sender. Perhaps let us know what you have planned for November and/or what you did this month.

For partner 1: Christmas, face, red, glitter, used stamps, details in corner of envelope, quote.

For partner 2: Christmas animal, small text, green, eyes, magic, fairy, numbers, sticker.

For partner 3: Christmas words/ song / or quote, two colours that match, washi tape, humour, feet, pink, wings, your name.

For partner 4: Postcard (either you recycle a postcard, or stick one of the front of the envelope or back as collage), christmas cartoon, a question, purple, young, happy, bright colours

For partner 5: Something unusual, lyrics or a poem, orange, texture, a pattern that takes up most of the envelope as a background, tiny text, blue, lines (or stripes)

Enjoy!
