MARCH: A Mailart Matchbox *extended deadlines*

I've been wanting to do a matchbox swap for a while now, and I hope you all will join me in this one :) I've borrowed some swap description bits from @Tanglecrafts :)

Objective
Decorate and fill a small 32count (or equivalent in size - ) in a Mailart theme for two (2) partners. You may use items that are handmade, vintage, 2nd hand, salvaged/re-purposed or any mixture. But please include a minimum of 2 different types of items in the box (ie a mini zine and a button, not two mini zines or 2 buttons...) Examples in decoration: use (vintage or artist) postage stamps, mailing labels, recycle your received envelopes, postcards, letters etc. Give it a true ZMACS incorporated look :)

Example to fill your box with;

• Inchies
• A mini zine (art/craft/mail art/correspondence related)
• mini notecards
• mini envelopes
• Mailing labels
• Envelope seals
• Faux postage (artist stamps)- sheet, booklet or loose stamps
• Address labels
• A (handcarved) rubber stamp
• A small address book
• Cancelled postage stamps
• a mini altered playing card
• Mail art related, buttons, badges, magnets etc.

The examples are to give you some idea's, they are by no means all-encompassing. Feel free to send any 2 items that are mail art or postal related – include an explanatory note, just in case your thought processes aren't obvious to your partner! The swap is sender's choice but please put in some thought, & try to make your partner smile.

The obvious bit You already had to have a rating of 4.9+ with no recent no-sends, 1s or 3s to join this group anyway, so the same stands for this swap. The rating filter is in place. But I will still double-check before assigning partners, so if you have what you feel is an unfair comment or rating, just PM me & we can try to work it out. :)

Have fun creating your matchboxes :) * the matchbox in the swap picture is made by @sunnyblueskies for a ZMACS WTA
