Description:

For this swap take one window envelope - recycled or new - and give it an artful makeover with paint, collage, ink, mixed media, etc. LEAVE THE WINDOW INTACT - do not cover over the window - make it part of the new design. Insert/attach something inside that will show through the window. You could make it look like a fish tank or a window looking out onto a fantasy landscape or do something more abstract or simple. It's up to you.

This swap is all about the envelope art itself so we will be sending these empty - no enclosures necessary, besides what you choose for inside the window decoration and a folded piece of card stock or recycled card to give the envelope some backbone.

Here's an example of one such envelope I received recently from @bigmamabird :

You can see the artwork she created on the back in her photo stream, [here].

In summary:

  • One window envelope, any mailable size, any size/shape/number of windows.
  • Covered & altered, front and back. Very little of the original plain white envelope should be showing when you're done.
  • Window still visible and creatively incorporated into new design.
  • SENT EMPTY, stamped and addressed, with nothing inside but a piece of folded card stock or recycled cardboard for strength and the window decor.
  • Swap name noted somewhere on the back of the envelope.

This is SENDER'S CHOICE as to the style/theme of art so you can get started designing your envelope now.

This swap is open to all group members in good standing. I will check profiles and remove any questionable participants prior to partner assignment. If you have any questions, please comment below or feel free to PM me.
