Description:

One of my favorite art movements, the Pre-Raphealite Brotherhood. If you don't recognize the name, I know for sure you will recognize the art. Some famous artists that were Pre-Raphealite included the much loved John William Waterhouse (see pic above); Gabriel Rossetti; William Holman Hunt; John Everett Millais and more. Google or Pinterest the Pre-Raphaelite's and you will realize you've seen the artwork on stationary and greeting cards, calendars, books, posters, etc.

The Mail Art Postcard you make will need to be at least a standard postcard size, on sturdy cardstock, and on the image side have Mail Art featuring a painting(s) from the Pre Raphaelite movement. You may use any art medium you choose to embellish and make the design your own. Put time and creativity into making it special. Do neat work when cutting your materials.

On the address side write a message to your partner about what your grateful for this thanksgiving season and/or share a special quote with them about gratitude/thankfulness. Send Naked (which means not in an envelope) & Stamped & be sure to secure all embellishments before sending it to your partner.

Id love to do more Mail Art swaps based on other art movements, if there is any in particular any members would like to see, maybe you can comment below. I was thinking Alphonse Mucha would make great Mail Art, as well as Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, Klimt, Da Vinci, etc.
