SWL - collage mail art scavenger hunt

For this swap we will have two partners and we'll be sending each partner 1 mail art envelope. Size, shape doesn't matter here (please don't send a tiny envelope... Use common sense :D) the focus is on the envelope decoration and art itself.

The theme for both envelopes is collage. You can use a pre-made envelope or make an envelope to plaster with collage but the envelope must be all covered - no huge blank spaces. If you make your own envelope, don't just end there - you still need to cover it with collage, too.

Once you have your envelope base ready you can take a look at the list below, there's 20 random things to find in your supplies and use to art up your envelopes. You could use 10 for one envelope and 10 for the other or pick and mix; duplicates are okay but not on the same envelope, and choose a minimum of 10 per envelope.

Scavenger hunt themes:

1) typography

2) baby

3) tail

4) triangle

5) Aztec

6) foreign language

7) numbers

8) orange

9) texture

10) kissing

11) bubble (shape or actual)

12) moonlight

13) emotion

14) shiny

15) art nouveau

16) gothic

17) fantasy

18) rainbow

19) shoe

20) face

To conclude; 1 mail envelope to each partner. Cover the envelope with collage - choose 10 things from the list above for each envelope. Get creative how you use and interpret the themes on your envelope.

The supplies you use is senders choice. For example you could use all cut outs for the 10 things you choose or you could combine paper with rubber stamps, washi tape, emboss, draw etc as long as it has some collage.

Please make sure envelopes are sturdy enoughh to go through the mail and reinforce sides. Tape down any loose papers/edges. It would also be nice to include something inside your envelope for the partner you're sending your swap to- make them smile if you can :) also don't forget to include a note with the swap name and your username otherwise your partner might not be able to rate you quickly.

Enjoy mail art friends :)
