happy mail art: art nouveau/nostalgia/vintage

I will be running a series of mail art swaps all with a different theme, I had so much fun doing my christmas & new year one, I just had to do a few more :)

For this one you will have just 1 partner.

You must handcraft an envelope or decorate a pre-made envelope with paintings, drawings, stickers, embellishments, washi tape, scribbles, doodles, ink, glitter, whatever you can find and have. However it must fit a theme: art nouveau / nostalgia / vintage art.

If you are using a pre-made envelope please make sure it is at covered. No big blank white spaces etc.

Every single detail on your mail art doesn't have to ALL match the theme, that would be hard! as long as it is obvious you have stuck to the theme and not made it random or senders choice. Must have a least a few things on it that stick to the theme.

Google art nouveau / nostalgia / vintage art for ideas. If you don't know what they are chances are you have seen it before, have received postcards with it etc. :)

The mail art itself is the big focus of this swap. Handmade envelopes are very well encouraged. You are not required to include anything IN the envelope other than a short note with your swapbot I'd , etc however it is always nice to include a small surprise (stickers, card, memo sheet)

Although I'm not looking for experts as I'm not one myself, I encourage everyone to get creative and have a go at this with no pressure of it being amazing etc. Please don't rate on whether or not you LIKED your partners mail art but on how much effort they put into it and if it sticks to the theme. This being said, please don't send trash, and don't sticker slap. Create something you're proud of and would want to receive yourself, you're making art after all.

I am keeping rating quite high, no unrated users, high number of swaps completed, active dashboard etc. You must have a good rating and no recent bad ratings, but I'll be checking profiles anyway.

I want to see good efforts and nice, happy mail art. Most of all, have fun. :)
