I've gotten comments and PM's from people about mail-art envelopes I had done that they have seen in the gallery recently.
:idea:

I bought a bunch of greeting card envelopes- I don't know where the cards that came in them originally are, but I got a vast surplus of the envelopes! (about 70 or so) and I am working on turning them into mail-art envelopes with my own unique pen and ink designs on them.

The way the designs are done on them, there is adequate space for the Address of the person its going To and for the Return address, as well, I make sure to leave a space for the stamp to go on. I do use them, myself for sending letters or cards, so they are completely usuable!

So, would you like to trade me 2 for 2
your envelopes can be painted, collaged or hand-drawn, or even stamped, whatever you prefer!

I love getting them and I do use them, so please the only thing I ask is there be enough space to put in the addresses, and the stamp!
If you don't want to trade envelope for envelope, I would accept 2 of your ATC's for trade with my envelopes...

Like I said, my envelopes are standard Hallmark card sized- but yours can be whatever size you have available, so long as they are usuable!

Mine will be original Black pen and ink abstractish designs. Either on a cream coloured envelope or on a light pink envelope. See pics for what they might look like- none will be exactly the same and all of them will be unique, for sure!

So, do ya wanna trade?

I love your envelopes, but I'd fear mine wouldn't come out as good as yours... :-/

well, the thing is, the envelopes I want in return, don't have to be painted or ink-drawn....
if your thing is collage, than collage a couple envy's and trade those-
or computer stuff is cool too...

I do painted (sometimes) and pen and ink, because those are the mediums I am most comfortable with...

they need to be usable, though- so there needs to be space to address them and stamp, etc... although, most of the ones I have gotten back, I keep and am making a mini-filing system for small papers with them...

but if your interested in trading 2 for 2 or whatever, pm me and let me know!
