Mail Art Virginity Lost!

[tarotgal]

I just made my first ever mail art! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It's for a Supernatural tv show swap and I had a lot of fun decorating the envelopes and stuffing it with tons of little Supernatural goodies. Squee! Yeah, when I adopt a fandom, I jump right in. Swap-bot is SUCH a dangerous place for a fangirl! I'm currently in another SPN swap, two Doctor Who swaps, 3 Harry Potter swaps, a Hunger Games swap...

In related news, I'm in the middle of the "Monster Movie" episode right now.

I am SO sure I'm going to regret asking this, but...what is swap-bot?

You sign up for a swap, make something, send it, and get one in return! There are tons of craft swaps of any type imaginable, there are store-bought item swaps, e-mail swaps, postcard swaps, artist trading card swaps, letter swaps... anything you can imagine. I am not very artistic, but I enjoy making things. I would have jumped in sooner if I'd known how many fandom-related swaps there are there. So much fun to get a package in the mail and find a handmade TARDIS bag or a Harry Potter bookmark. I didn't count on it being so addictive though!

Wow! The top one is really neat! And that's the envelope? Looks like something one of my scrapbook friends would make.
