matchbox art

Information

Hello.

I am calling mail art for the first time.

One idea, I want to make art in/on matchbox or of box of its size.
I am not good at making small objects and just want to inspired from other. I would like to gather small sized box art.
I have no intension to show in public at the moment, but I will post on my blog.

Preferably match box size, but it could be like business card box or soap box, candy box etc... (intension of my project is a match box sized art but for YOU the kind of box is OPEN to your creativity)

Sending me in a regular sized airmail envelope, which means I like the box that fit in the size.
no due,
no fee,
international

Thank you.

I am a slow mailer but if you inspired me I will send back something in return.

Sample works

I will post more instruction and examples to give the idea... :)

You can start with template to make your own box or you can repurpose the used matchbox or whatever small box and collage on it, or put some little 3D objects inside... (can be some little ephemera or trash... lol)

Comment by Tomoe N on June 12, 2015 at 9:21am: here are 2 of matchbox art arriving today for the call! Thanks to both of them for cooperation!

This one is from Stripygoose from England I think she made the box herself and put an tiny owl in the box also the photo of the owl as the cover.

Love it!!
