Description:

I participated in a swap like this a couple years ago & thought it was so cool.

For this swap, go to mapenvelope.com and follow the instructions. It will create a map envelope with your location on it, just as if you searched google maps. Then print it out and fold it into an envie. As @FarStarr pointed out, the folded envelope is just a bit too small to send through the mail. I apologize for the confusion. Here's what we'll do:

  • Enclose the finished envie inside of another, mail-able size envelope, along with one of the items from the list below and send it to your partner. Important: Fold the envelope so the map with your location is on the outside.

~OR~ * * * * * * * * * *

  • Glue the map envie to the outside of another piece of paper/ephemera (again, with the map on the outside) and fold that into a mail-able sized envelope. (You will probably have to use an address label so the post can read it.) Enclose an item from below and send it to your partner.

Please choose 1 of the following items to put in the envelope for your partner:

  • handmade postcard, unwritten so your partner can use it

  • 4 artistamps, (don't have to be made by you)

  • 2 new postage stamps - postcard or forever (not cancelled ones)

  • a smaller, handmade envelope for your partner to use

  • a mail-art-related ATC

  • 5 airmail labels (from any country)

  • 10 used postage stamps

If your partner is in a different country, you probably won't want to send unused postage since they can't use it in their country.

Usual swap rules apply. I'll check profiles before assigning partners. PM me with any questions.
