Jan's Mail Art Envie: Beatrix Potter-International

The Wonderful World of Beatrix Potter's Children's Books will be January's Book Themed Mail Art Envie. She was such an Inspiring woman and wrote such a treasure trove of Children's Book Characters!

When making your Mail Art Envie, you can use images from the books, or you can interpret the book characters in your own way. You can focus on just one character or many different ones in your mail art. Make it special and decorate both sides of the envie with your mail art design. Your envie should be about 5x7 or larger.

Any Art medium may be used for your Mail Art. Examples of different Mail Art techniques: paper collage; rubber stamping; hand sketch's/drawings; cut-outs/ephemera; mixed media; quality digital images; etc. Secure well any embellishments.

Inside our envies we will send our partner a nice selection of flat mail art/crafting supplies (at least ten or more flat items/ very small items like postmarked stamps or single stickers you need to send say 3-5 for it to equal one item). Pick things to send that you think your partner will enjoy & be able to use in their future craft projects.

To Inspire you here are just some of Beatrix Potter's famous Children's Book Animals and their Character Names:

• Rabbits (Peter Rabbit/ Benjamin Bunny/ The Flopsy Bunnies)

• Kittens (Tom Kitten/ Miss Moppet)

• Squirrels (Squirrel Nutkin)

• Hedgehogs (Mrs Tiggy-Winkle)

• Mice (Mrs Tittlemouse/ Hunca Munca/ The Tailor of Gloucester)

• Ducks (Jemima Puddle-Duck)

• Frogs (Mr. Jeremy Fisher)

• Piglets (Little Pig Robinson/ Pigling Bland)

• Bad Mr. McGregor & his Vegetable Farm (where Peter Rabbit steals cabbages & carrots, and Mrs. McGregor wants to capture him for a rabbit pie!)
