Let’s swap animal themed art!
The art will be mailed to you in an envelope so you’re free
to create something with a lot of texture or raised elements, and the size and
format is up to you.
Size guidelines:
minimum
size – 2.5 inches between any two points
maximum
size – 7 inches between any two points
This means
you could create an ATC (Artist Trading Card) which has the traditional
dimensions of 2.5 x 3.5 inches.
Or you
could use the common dimensions of frames (4x6 inches or 5x7 inches)
Or create
something square, or round, or oblong.
It doesn’t
matter as long as the work is within the above dimensions.
Substrate:
Create your
work on something sturdy – heavy water color paper, or cardboard, or canvas
board. I’m not limiting what you use, but I’m suggesting something sturdy
and attractive enough that your recipient could proudly and easily display your
work.
Media/Style:
Anything
goes! Painting, drawing, collage, mixed media. Whatever inspires
you and makes you happy. How you interpret the theme is up to you as
well.
Postage:
Within
the US: Put
your work in a suitable protective envelope and calculate the amount it will
cost to mail to me. Include that same amount of postage or cash inside
the envelope so that I can mail your piece to your partner. You can also
send me postage money via paypal (iamrushmore@gmail.com)
Outside
of the US:
It’s harder to calculate postage since I don’t know the size or weight of what
I’ll be sending back to you. Email me at iamrushmore@gmail.com and we can discuss an appropriate
amount based on where you live and the average cost of getting a large envelope
from the US to you.
Summary:
·
Create a fabulous
original piece of art. (No prints please)
·
Sign your work and
include a little note for your partner with your contact information so that
they may thank you.
·
Put it in an envelope
with postage (see above) and a label with your name and address on it. I
will stick this to the package I’m sending you. If you don’t have any
labels, just send a label-shaped piece of paper with your name and address on
it and I will tape it to your envelope. By including a label it saves me
the time of writing everyone’s info by hand, and keeps me from making mistakes
when I decipher your handwriting and copy your address.
