So this is it! I am closing the swap. I may receive one more envelope each from Nadia and Karen (extras above & beyond the 3 required) and I may receive 2 or 3 more from Marianne later this week? I hope so! With just the one exception of the mail not getting delivered as it should, 51 of us completed this swap making at least 3 pieces of mail art to exchange. The total count so far is 186 pieces that came in . . . and I created 53 pieces to go out, which makes a grand total of 239 pieces of mail art!!!! I'll have a few extra envelopes because some participants had to drop, but all in all, an amazing swap! Bigger that I imaged, more fun than I imagined, and not quite as much work for me as you might imagine because I like this subject so much and also, remember this is part of what I do as full-time work. I have made a grid on paper and preliminarily swapped things out -- now I will get to the task at hand and physically swap everything out into the waiting envelopes. It's really nice that envelopes are already made - it takes the stress off, and I've created a mailing list that I will tuck in with your returns, so you can continue to send mail art to participants in this swap, if you like.
Beautiful colours on this envelope, so natural and pretty.
ReplyDeleteLenna, it's been so much fun watching the envelopes come in...I can't wait to see some in person! Thanks again for putting this swap together. I'm looking forward to finding out more about the next one.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous envelope! I am eagerly awaiting the receipt of my returns - it will be an early Christmas in my mailbox! Looking forward to whatever you decide for the next swap, Lenna!
ReplyDeleteHooray! We did it.... and you have organized everything so nicely. And....another swap to look forward to! Thanks always for all the fine work you do to give others so much pleasure.
