TEXTURED ART - Post CARD EXCHANGE - GET INTO THE POSTAL SYSTEM by FRIDAY - SEPTEMBER 20th

LaDonna R.

Hello Mail Art Friends,

I hope you are having a wonderful, creative summer.

Ladonna suggested this theme and created these 8 beautiful examples to get it going.  Thanks LaDonna!

We usually keep our mail art pieces thin, flat, 4+1/4" x 6" and light-weight, but for this exchange, layers will be appropriate.  

Some materials could include lace, fabric, thread, tissue paper, cording, beads, sequin waste, origami, puffy paint, etc.  No glitter please, or I cross you of my Christmas list.  (Just joking, sort of ???)

LaDonna R.

If your art is VERY thick and/or heavy and has to be mailed in a box, please include extra postage for my sending your art pieces along to your eventual  swap pals and your exchanged art to you.  I hope postage for this atypical exchange  won't get really expensive.

LaDonna R.

IF GLUE or COLLAGE MEDIUM IS USED when you put your layers together (you may stitch your layers together if you want to)- PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make sure your art is DRY before mailing it in. Also,  I would suggest putting a piece of waxed paper between each piece so they don't get stuck on each other in transit and refuse to break up :) 

LaDonna R.

Participants, our art for this exchange will be heavier and thicker than usual.  If possible I will provide/use 6 x 9-inch flat brown kraft envelopes (or puffy mailers) when I mail your swapped art to you after the exchange is wrapped up.  A few loose unused postage stamps would be appreciated.

Postal prices rising indefinitely...

Dear Mail Art Swappers,  

A recent bit of information about the US Postal System stated that the current Post Master General intends to raise postage prices twice annually.  Some of us might consider stocking up a bit on stamp denominations we use often. You can check the US Postal Service website for details. Just a note...  Honi
