Description:

I've hosted swaps in the past inspired by Cloth, Paper Scissors.......in particular, the ink up your letters article by Joanne Sharpe, who creates easy, little art pieces with little sayings. In the magazine the sayings are Do what you love, Dream really big, and Sing your Heart Song, all created on bright and colorful backgrounds. I think mail art that includes these small inspirations will be awesome to send and receive.

Here ia an example of Joanne Sharpe Here

More Examples

So for this swap, make 1 mail art item of your choice (Examples include: ATC, Handmade PC, Altered File Folders, Decorated envelope with a tuck in, etc) Color the Background in some way (paint, chalk, water colors, ink, fabric, sewn, etc), and include a small saying or a little Inspiration for your partner on the mail art. Your postcards can be any size, and please mail them Naked. Please sign and date your ATC's on the backside. And anything being mailed in an envelope, please mail in a decorated envelope.

Have fun.

Can it be any inspirational saying? Or just one of the three you listed by Joanna? Want to make sure I do it right. Love the idea for this swap though! I love collecting inspirational quotes on crafty backgrounds!

It can be any saying or quote. And if you click the Blue words, those are links with many more examples. ;D

Perfect, Thankyou! 😊

I would....but my lettering never got past the ‘buy all the things’ stage. I tried practicing a couple of times but it was really demoralizing. I’d LOVE to see everyone’s results, tho, if y’all care to share them on Insta! :)
