PIF Altered Envelope Swap [Archive]

These are not handmade envelopes. They are factory made. Envelopes that you have bought.
These are envelopes that you have collaged, painted or drawn on.
Any size. Don't fold them. Mail them in a slightly larger envelope to the person below you (the first person that posts below you to ask for 2 of your envelopes).
The person that posted above you will send you 2 of their decorated envelopes.

So who wants 2 of my altered envelopes?

Great idea! I'd love to see a few examples, do you have photos to post or links to others that make these? Thanks!

Are you looking for decorated envelope that you can use to mail? ...or just for "art"? :huh:

Niteowl, correct me if I am wrong, please;
but I think what she means is envelopes you can use for mailing that can be considered art or artistic... Mail Art... art you can mail!

like the one I posted- this is a painted envelope with a snowflake stencil on it...

Nightowl...I haven't forgotten this, I've just turned spacey in my old age. I stashed these envelopes in a bag and didn't realize it until this week. Here's a picture of one of them that is coming your way. I'll try to post the other later tonight or tomorrow.

Ok..... so its an envelope you decorate but are still able to send thru the postal system. Any certain size? I'd like to give it a shot. Where do I send them?

coffeelatte-
I am so jealous of Niteowl for getting that envelope from you- its gorgeous!
WOW!

Niteowl,
I would love to have another couple of envelopes from you- My guy loved the one I used for him and my best friend Miss Charming in LA thought the one with the collage on it with the female and the coffee spoons was great...

so, I'd love to have a couple more....

Who would like 2 painted envelopes from me? (and what colour background?)

Thanks howie you're right. The examples shown in this thread are great! Any size is fine. You decorate 2 envelopes and place them in another envelope and send them to the person that posts below you. So it doesn't look like anyone officially asked for mine to get this started. Anyone?

Hey there- just finished uploading the pics of the Envelopes am mailing off to you today! Been sick lately, so am very sorry for the delay....
But below is a pic of one of the envelopes, in case you don't make it to the Gallery to see them... Sure hope you like them!

Tried something new- have outlined the cream paintwork onthem with a black liner- I think they look alright- stands out better IMHO....:skeptical:

Now seems to me, the last envelopes up for grabs were supposed to be from me-
who wants a couple of them?
