Artful Hearts 2022 - Freeform - Postmark by February 14th

 

(This is not a Post Card Swap)

by hhc

As we approach Valentines' Day, let's think about the friendships we've found and the encouragement and inspiration we've gained from this wonderful group of artists.  

Swap Participants:  make 5 cut-out Valentine-shaped heart pieces to be exchanged with swap pals.

Techniques/Materials:  collage, paint, ink, fabric, doilies, etc.

Some options:  elongated, rounded, woven, folded; hearts-in-a-heart;   a larger heart with small dangling hearts attached with ribbon or string, etc.

by hhc

Size parameters:  up to 4" x 6" and I will provide red envelopes to send your exchanged hearts art out into the postal system.  

All you have to do is provide

Three 1st class stamps 

Five self address labels in case I need to send some thicker art separately.

  ____________________________________

To keep them from sticking together through the mail, I suggest using waxed paper or parchment between each heart if paint or glue is used.

NOTE:  If you use thick embellishments, keep in mind that your mailing will probably require extra postage as you send it out to me.  Please also enclose an extra postage stamp or two for me to send your art along after I sort the swap.  Thanks :)

  • Also, write your return address or email address on the back of each heart piece so the recipient will be able to thank you.

  • When I send out your exchanged mail it will not get there before Valentine's Day, but it's the thought that counts, right?  Friendship goes beyond one special day of the year :)

    Mail out your art to your swap host (me) no later than February 14th
