matchbox art call! (^_^)/

Hello.
I am calling mail art.

One idea, I want to make art in/on matchbox or of box of its size.
I am not good at making small objects and just want to inspired from other. I would like to gather small sized box art. 
I have no intension to show in public at the moment, but I will post on my blog. 
Thankfully they are more and more people participating, and I may find some place to show or make a photobook of all of your works to show to others. 

Preferably match box size, but it could be any sizes that fit in the regular envelopes, such as a business card box or soap box, candy box etc... And if you want, you can make your own box rather than ready made match box.  (intension of my project is a match box sized art but for YOU the kind of box is OPEN to your creativity)

Sending me in a regular sized airmail envelope, which means I like the box that fit in the size.
no due,
no fee,
international 

Address

To Tomoe Nakamura

Note: Everyone are making great works with originality and had no problem receiving mails.
Just for the future note, please do not include the unused matches for the international mail security. I saw some of you used matches as for the concepts and I think that's ok. 

Thank you.

My concept:
I did something prosaic.

Description of your performance

This is a part of the ideas from #CreativeSprint that is to make a legal impermanent graffiti in a public space. 

I drew a cat face with cat food as installation in my front yard. 

Normally I give the cat food in a bowl but she came and ate her face which I thought that it is funny. Off course she did not realize that it is her face, but I think that makes to complete the performance, as “a Cat Eating the Cat Face.”

About the collage, in my daily life, I like to pick up trash on the street in my neighborhood and sometime make some art out of. The base paper for this collage is a political Kyosanto campaign poster (the Japanese Communist 

Party) which was thrown away after the election and were damped in the ditch. 4 photographs from “a cat eating the cat food” project, a trash from seaweed container, paper trash, and pamphlet from the US tourist places are also attached to elaborate my daily life.
