Mail Art

I recently joined a 4×6 Mail Art group and I love it. I love the idea of creating pieces of art that are meant to be sent through the mail sans envelope. The Step Outside Your Box challenge this week is to step outside the envelope! Create and MAIL a piece of art with out the envelope. 4×6′s lend themselves to this because it is the size of a postcard. One thing to keep in mind when doing this is that it will be handled many times so it’s important to limit embellishments and to use a good adhesive and even consider coating it w/ a gel medium of some kind. Also use a good sturdy paper, I usually use watercolor paper. And what the heck, if you want to mail your art to me, I’m all for it!!! LOL
