Description:

Please make one ATC Or one PostCard for your one partner. The ATC or Postcard must be made using something recycled. It could be as simple as using a recycled materials backing, like a cereal box or recycled paper/note card/book pages, the inside of an envelope, or fabric, or beads, etc. So many ways to recycle when making Mail Art.

August's theme: Handmade Impression Mail Art...... Please add a handmade stamped image or impression to your mail art. You can cut a design in a potato or other food, wine corks or foam, use a natural item like a leaf or flower to print, or use something like a toy car to make wheel marks or a barbie doll to make feet, to add to your art. You can make a detailed impression or something simple like cutting a triangle shape that you print over and over....how you interpret and what you create is always up to you.

Examples

Each month is themed. Please incorporate the theme into your ATC or Postcard, in some way.

An ATC is sized 2.5 x 3.5 inches. Postcards are minimum 4 x 6 inches. Please sign and date the back, with your artist info. The purpose of this challenge is to make interesting artistic ATCs and/or postcards, while recycling, not to just glue the items of the month on a card.....for example if the theme is flowers...do not cut out from a magazine 1, or even 20 flowers, and sloppily glue-stick them to a backing and call it an ATC or postcard. These are miniature works of art. Have fun creating them.
