Mail Art Show in Marseille, France

 

A completely unrelated mail art destination is also thinking about mermaids. Galerie LE LAB in Marseille, France is accepting mail art for a show with a mermaid theme. Anyone can send in a piece and something will be sent back when the mermaid mail art is received.

International shipping for an envelope is currently $1.15. I made my painted envelope using mixed media that includes Japanese brush and Rapidograph pens, colored pencil, metallic colored pencil and acrylic paint on watercolor paper, 5 x 8 inches. The black ink is waterproof so it is easy to paint over the drawing using thinned acrylic paints. The metallic colored pencils give a little bit of shimmer to the work.

If you want to join this art show the website is here, or go and see the other art received. The art needs to be at the gallery before May 10, 2014. I usually give two weeks or more for items to arrive in most parts of Europe.
