ENVELOPES ONLY

Where the envelope is the art and the art is the envelope.  Identify as such with a DO NOT OPEN, CONTENTS NOT ENCLOSED, or other such warning...

    Guess I'll send along a [lonely] envelope only to someone in this group, though I usually send postcards.......

    Hello

     

    Our artists' group is organizing an exhibition on postal art in December.

     

    We would like to request your participation for this just send us

    a calligraphy envelope, illuminated, drawn ...

    on the theme of travel (sea, air, earth, fantastic or imaginary)

     

    We are committed to promoting culture, contact and this way of communicating is a nod to social networks.

     

    I enclose the poster and if you want the payment I send it to the email address that you will communicate to me.

    It would be a source of pride for our collective and myself to count you among our artists.

     

    Regards

    And again, from Sam as it reached my postbox. I removed the tag from the post to see the fish faces later, what was easy as the envelope is "coated".

    Drama on the High Seas from Jean Jackson.  Love the "content not included stamp!  This person has some crazy cake rubber stamps!

  • Pam McVay

  • Carmela Rizzuto

    The stamp in the right corner of Rizzuto's envelope, smells like fruit--it's a scratch & sniff stamp! I couldn't resist making it part of the design.

  • Peggy John Pachtass

    Please add me. Beginner. Did this before I knew it was a thing! Looking forward!

    Thanks,

    P. John

  • Gerda Osteneck

    This looks like a fun group. I make envelopes out of papers I've made or fabric dyed in the yard. Collage is a long standing passion. I will send some by the end of September, once I clear the work table of other obligations. 

    Cheers Gerda Osteneck

  • Maggie Mize

    I enjoyed this type of mailart in 2001 and would like to continue it now! Looking forward to sending new artful envelopes out into the world!

  • Gerda Osteneck

    Thanks Robin Jeree! I tend to work in batches. Not surprising after years in photo-finishing... Millions of images.

    I don't draw so fabric, collage and altered photos are my go to media. 

  • Samantha Price

    wonderful 'lope robin! & great "matchy- match" w/the stamps!
  • Maggie Mize

    I got this lovely envelope today from Sam. Thanks so much. I love it. The back is cool too. It’s on my page if you want to look.

  • Jan Hodgman

    I goofed and put this one up on Envelopes, when it was an Envelopes Only. Here's the back, the front to come:

  • Jan Hodgman

    Here are two fine Envelopes Only, oh-so-late in making it up here.

    The Zentangle is really special, with great use of color. The backs of each are also lovely.

  • Jan Hodgman

    Oops, forgot to name Pam McVay as the artist of the 2 below!

  • Pam McVay

  • Deana
