OCT: PUMPKIN MAIL ART

Pumpkins are another of my favorite things. They speak to me of abundance and coziness. Henry David Thoreau said, "I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.". (Yeah, I like quotations, too.)

For this swap you will be making and/or decorating an envelope in a pumpkin theme. It doesn't have to be just pumpkins exclusively, but a pumpkin or pumpkins (regular pumpkins or jack-o-lanterns or both) must figure prominently in the artful envelope. You can use a regular envelope and "art it up", or construct some kind of special or unusual envelope. Simple or complicated it is up to you. Let your imagination and creativity be your guide.

Inside the envelope put something autumnal you think your partner will like. It doesn't have to be profile based, but it would be nice to check your partner's profile anyway for likes and dislikes. Some ideas include, but are not limited to fall colored ribbon, ATC, Fall post-its, a bookmark, stickers, inchies, a card and letter or poem or zine about Fall or any Autumn subject,...um....anything at all. As long as the mail art envelope is pumpkin themed and there is something autumnal themed or colored inside, it meets the swap criteria. But please make this a great little swap experience for your partner. You can start your envelope now, since this is not a profile based swap.

I am not putting a rating requirement on this, since this is a group swap and the group already has a rating requirement in place.

This is an international swap, so keep in mind any mailing regulations as to what can be sent into a country.

Feel free to ask questions or point out anything that needs revision in my description.
