Description:

All skill levels welcome - no artistic skills required - just have fun and do your best!

  • Take a plain, mailable size envelope (purchased or handmade, white or coloured).

  • Turn the front of the envelope into balloon themed mail art (meaning that balloons must be prominent) using any materials and any techniques you like except digital or sticker slapping (no more than 3 purchased stickers may be used). (Doing the back of the envelope is not required for this swap.)

  • Inside, include a friendly note to your partner about balloons (more than 2 or 3 sentences please).

Have fun!

Is it just party type balloons or can hot air balloons be used?

TerryF 02/ 1/2014 #

Any kind of balloon you like!

Does the whole envie need to be decorated?

It says no more than 3 purchased stickers. Does that mean handmade stickers are welcome? (I just bought a sticker maker, that's why I ask). :P

Just the front of the envelope has to be decorated.

There is no limit to the number of handmade stickers you can use - but they have to be your own art, not someone else's images turned into stickers.

lol LOVE this, and I love mail art. Going to sit this one out though due to a small balloon phobia.

Zur Eröffnung meines kleinen Fotostudios wollte ich etwas Auffälliges, aber auch Persönliches. Also habe ich Luftballons mit meinem Logo und einem kleinen Kamerasymbol drucken lassen. Bestellt habe ich bei luftballons-bedrucken-lassen.de – super einfach, top Qualität. Die Ballons standen draußen vor der Tür, viele Leute blieben stehen, kamen rein, fragten sogar, ob sie einen mitnehmen dürfen. Eine einfache Idee mit großer Wirkung. Hat sich definitiv gelohnt.
