The ZMACS Happy Mail Swap

This swap is designed to celebrate all things ZMACS – zines, mail art and, of course, other cool stuff. Simply send each of your partners 3 (different) items handmade by you which fall under any of the ZMACS categories.

Clarification:
You don't need to send one item from each category, but you do need to send 3 different items (so you cannot send 3 mini-zines or 3 ATCs: you must send a variety of items). A mini-zine + a larger (or different format) zine count as 2 different items just as an ATC + a handmade postcard count as 2 different items. If you like to decorate the outside of envies, please do so as an extra – a decorated envie containing 2 items does not meet requirements. A decorated envie containing a smaller decorated envie (for your partner to use) + 2 other items does meet requirements.

Possible items you could send (not an exhaustive list, just some suggestions):

• A mini-zine
• A micro zine
• A larger format zine
• An ATC
• A handmade postcard
• A postcard professionally printed from your own design
• A couple of handmade/handfolded envelopes
• A hand-carved stamp
• A set/sheet/booklet of artistamps/faux postage
• A set of handmade/DIY mailing labels
• A set of handmade/DIY envelope seals
• A mini handmade journal
• A handmade address book
• A ZMACS-related decorated/altered matchbox
• Something else ZMACS-related of your own creation!

Show off & share whatever it is you do best!
