This started out as a mandala drawing on a piece of watercolorpaper. First I sprayed with inks and water and sprinkeled rocksalt on it. Let it dry and then drew the mandala.
When the mandala was finished I used a template (made from an envelope I received) to trace around on to the drawing, cut it out and gleued the edges.
You can certainly open the envelope, there might be a little message under the flap. :-)
The artist Jean-Francois Aillet invites you to collect your sample of sand from a moraine, from next to a waterfall or beside a river, along the shore of a lake or a stream, in a desert or on the border of an ocean. One should not, however, send him sand from a construction site. You are asked to document your collection of the material with a photo, taken as you are pouring the sand into a container. For an example, kindly visit his home page at www.aillet.com . English : http://www.aillet.com/traductions/anglais.htm
See you to take part in this international project.

So glad you like it Samanta! I would love to tell you how I made it but I send a lot of artmail to the USA, I don't remember wich one was yours... LOL
Could you post a pic?
Sounds good. I fell behind on my mail art after a death in the family, but I am about to the point of being caught back up. See you in the mail soon.
