DOILY DELIGHT - Post Card Exchange - Postmark by MONDAY JUNE 24th

Any Paper Doily Will Do :)

 Hello Wonderful Mail Art Swappers! 

 I hope you all are having a good summer.  Here's a themed mail art swap challenge that we've never done before, as far as I can remember. LaDonna suggested this theme :)  She suggested checking dollar stores for packs of doilies to start with.

I hope many will find it challenging and will jump in on the fun of creating art with paper doilies as the main design element. You may tear them, cut them, fold them, layer them, etc.

  Some ideas to color your white doilies could include scuffing the doily surface with ink pads as I did for the examples, or using various paints, markers, etc.  I will be interested to see what you come up with.  

Participants may create 1 - 4 decorated post cards (6" x 4+1/4") to be exchanged with other participants.

Mail your 1 - 4 post cards to me in an envelope, along with *self-mailing labels for each card you hope to receive back when the exchange is completed.  Please let wet art dry before packaging to send in.  Waxed paper between decorated post cards is sometimes a good idea...  

Loose 1st class postage is appreciated as I usually send the exchanged cards in plain envelopes for their protection (and with hopes they all make it to their new homes safely and in a timely manner).

Get your mail art posted by Monday June 24th.  If you are going to be late mailing in your art, email me so I can wait for it to arrive before I process the swap:  s.h.greenstamps@juno.com

Mail to:  Honi C.  PO Box 142  Freedom, NY  14065

to you in exchange.

I will look forward to seeing what you create :)
