Mail-art, fill and pass! : Round 1

Just to clarify - 3. ADD YOUR ADDRESS - does this mean add your own address (so the postcard can be returned to you later) or does this mean add your partner's address?

Yep! :) you've to write your own address because it should be sent back to you after the fourth or fifth round :P

I've edited with the info ^_^!

So we'd be sending the thing through the mail inside an envelope until it's ready to come back to us.. then they send it naked?

Yeps! It's @Papermoon ;) Thank you so much for your comments!!!!! Editing again!

So the visual theme is "exquisite corpse"?

Oh, I just educated myself. Never mind, thank you.

;)

Do we do a background as well, or just an image? Thanks

For an idea on how much space to leave (in case we did one in the style of the second link), how many rounds do you expect there to be? Or should we just plan on sending back whenever it looks complete? Example: one might last four rounds, while another lasts for eight.

@JanHardt just an image! @Snout I was thinking about 3-4 rounds at least but of course, some of the postcards/envelopes could take longer. I'll open the new rounds for new participants so there always will be "uncomplete" mail-art travelling around =) And of course, you could receive your postcard/envelope back and you always could start a new one =)

Ooh! It could be fun to reuse the same carrier/delivery envie that the art comes in over and over so the person who sends the homer winds up with a cool piece of Mail art. Kinda like a gift with purchase ;-)

I like that idea, too, @misscorbeau

@misscorbeau + @zuzu I had that idea too! :) But then I thought that maybe it was too much to explain for one swap (sp. When my English is so poor) But of course, you're free to do it! I'm sure the folks will follow you!

@misscorbeau yes! Has anyone reused bill/junk mail envies? They are very easy to reuse since you can just add the address from the inside. ;)

@ misscorbeau I either carefully pull the junk mail envies open, turn them inside out, and then reglue them or carefully slit open the sides and reglue or tape them. A lot of them have interesting patterns on the inside and I like adding more designs too. Hugs from Alaska, Sherry

@AmookIslandCreations I have seen others do that sort of thing and they look great!
