The Three Muses Challenge - Art Envelopes

I have created my art envelope sample in vintage style but this is the MUSES CHALLENGE and ANYTHING GOES!! We know we are going to see many different "takes" on this theme and we can't wait to see what you have for us. Art envelopes are a great way of exchanging art and REAL MAIL with friends and they are great fun to make. The idea is to create a design for an envelope so don't worry about having to make an envelope. A digital or hand-made "mock-up" is all that is needed.

Christine said...: Hi, everyone. My quite simple piece is a homage to Brasília, a city that doesn't fit to anything baroque or too adorned.

WELCOME

Welcome to The Three Muses weekly art challenge which is open to one and all. No matter what style of art you follow, there is a place here for you. We hope you will join in the fun and see the many and varied directions a theme may take at the hands of you wonderful blog artists.

Everyone who has participated in blog challenges knows of the kindness and generosity to be found there and we hope to continue that tradition here.

Our challenge will be posted each Wednesday and each theme will be revealed in the preceding week to give you time to create your pictures.

Just remember there is no such thing as "right" or "wrong" in the way a challenge is approached. We welcome every art style, and look forward to a spirited exchange of ideas and styles.
