On AFTCM, I signed up for a mail art swap!! I started by printing the names of the recipients using a nice chunky font and traced them onto the front of my yellow envelopes using a black gel pen. I filled the names in with some doodling, added the address of the person as well as my return address and the postage stamp. Next, I added a border and some doodling in the body of the envelope as well. Once finished with the artwork I started filling in the designs with glittered gel pens in a variety of colours!!
This is my first mail art!! I really enjoyed the process and after I was done I decided to search on line to see what others have done. There is as much difference in mail art as there are artists, though most of the art I found on line was a bit more edgy that what I have done here.
I have added a RAK to the envelopes so they will have a bit of surprise when it arrives in their mail box!!
I enjoyed challenging myself to do something I have never done before!! I have been exposed to mail art online over the years and have received several different examples as well.
Challenge yourself to something you have never done before!! Grow!!

This is amazing !!! I am the lucky recipient of the top envelope - and there is lots of detail, so bright and cheerful !
ReplyDeleteLove this envelope - I'm a sucker for anything with my name on it - this is creative and over the top - thank you again for thinking of me for a RAK ! Oh, and there was a blank puzzle included, it's going to be fun using it!
