Fast and Furious Comes the Mail

The envelopes for the Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap are arriving fast and furious! It’s an exciting time, just three weeks until swap day.

Here are a few of the gorgeous envelopes I’ve received over the last couple of weeks. Things are getting busy enough I can’t show all of the decorated envelopes, so forgive me if yours is not featured. Enjoy these wonderful pieces of mail art!

We’ll start out with Julia from Washington, a beautiful painted piece:

Paula in Virginia created this lovely one. She knows the way to my heart… Put a cat on it!

Lisa in North Carolina created this lovely collage of red, gold and purple…

Anne from Australia created an envelope with great energy:

Vicki from New York created one of my favorite envelopes to date. The collage and color is just wonderful. There is a quote on the back: You are never too old to dream a new dream. So true!

Suzette in Utah found a new way to use a postcard back stamp. Love it!

Charlotte in Maryland put the address on what is normally the back of the envelope, as used the unmarred front as a canvas…

Amanda in the UK makes me want to go on vacation there!

Stephanie in Florida created a bold envelope. Love the colors!

Martha in California created a lovely line drawing. In a note on the back, she invites me to finish coloring it in. I will!

Gina in California says “Seeing is Believing.” I believe your envelope has arrived, Gina!

Teena in Virginia proves it doesn’t take a lot of time to create something fun!

Gloria in California ripped and layered to create a lovely envelope. I’m dreaming of spring greens after this envelope!

Wrapping up this week’s envelopes is Polly in Florida. She created this happy envelope, which matches my studio beautifully.

Thank you Polly, thank you everyone for the great mail art that is coming fast and furious! Only three more weeks to swap day. I can’t wait!!

The Latest Mail Art

Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap Mail Art Kat Sloma

It’s that time again! More mail art has been arriving for the Liberate Your Art postcard swap, and I know you want to see it! We have just over five weeks to the swap receipt deadline of March 18. There is still time to join! Learn more and sign up here.

And while you are getting your postcards ready to mail, enjoy some of this awesome mail art! We’ll start out with an amazing alteration of a manila envelope, from Kathy in South Carolina.

Pat in Oregon created this lovely collaged envelope. Decorated front and back! A couple of letters went missing, but we can fill in the blanks, can’t we?

Tracy in Texas sketched a beautiful little scene. I’d like to visit this little town!

My longtime online friend Lynne in Pennsylvania created this collaged envelope. You’ve given me inspiration with all of that decorative tape!

I love the cats! Thanks Julie in Connecticut, for this bit of mailbox happiness!

Kate in Illinois added some lovely lettering to pre-printed paper to make a one-of-a-kind envelope.

Lots of colorful doodles brightened the day from Karen in Ohio! Thanks for all of the extras, Karen. The swap helpers will love you!!

And finally, what could be better than a decorated envelope with some awesome stamps? From Norway, no less! The lovely Linda, who has participated for many years, along with more extras for swap helpers.

Thank you all for brightening the day of everyone who has seen your mail art! The world is a better place with your art liberated in it. I can’t wait to liberate the rest!
