I used the theme of "Theatre" for the envelope, and a bunch of "Travel" themes for the card inside.
Basically, I received a simple unused card+envelope from a penpal, redecorated it, and sent it to another penpal. I love being able to be creative with the gifts of the mailart world; it's fabulous.
I think a lot of my inspiration came from the mini film poster, performance ticket stub, and Great American Filmmaker stamps that I had sitting on my desk, waiting to be used. Here's what I came up with:
The front of the envelope, decorated in a mail-art fashion.
A beautiful Billy Wilder stamp...
The back of the envelope, beginning to transition from "Theatre" into "Travel"...
Card inside the envelope. The bike part was already on the card, but I wanted to mess around with it a little... So I did!
And then inside the card...
A message to let my penpal know I'm heading to Europe!
I had a fabulous time making this piece, and I feel like it encompasses two of my favourite things, which is tremendous! I don't know if I'll be able to send it out now! Just kidding -- I just hope that my recipient likes receiving it as much as I liked sending it!
What do you think?
Send more mail--it's summer for goodness sake!
