Message in a Bottle - Spain



Mail Art Call 2014: A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE.
Information:
Subject:  Message in a bottle. Free size and technique (you can decorate it). Send by airmail.
Deadline:  September 1st, 2014.
The bottle and the message will be published on this blog, making reference to the author. Offensive material will not be published. No returns. Documentation will be sent to participants. Please, indicate your name, address and email on each bottle.
Send to:
J. L. Hernández Galán ( igakusei ).
PO Box 6236.
Zip Code 41080.
Seville. Spain



How to make a message in a bottle:
1.- Find a bottle. It can be plastic or glass. If you’d like to make it look like a real message in a bottle, use a beer or wine bottle. Green is the most common colour for the bottles, but you can get creative and use any colour you’d like.
2.- Wash the bottle out. Fill the bottle with warm water. Squeeze in some dish soap, and cover the bottle with your hand. Proceed with shaking the bottle up and down until it is full of suds. Roll a piece of towel into a rod, and stick it in. Try to absorb as much water as possible. Once you’ve finished, stick it upside down in the strainer, so the excess can pour out overnight.
3.- Write your message. This is good to do while the bottle is drying.  Feel free to write what you want, I´ll be glad to read it. Please indicate your name, address and email on the message.
4.- Roll up your message. Roll it as tightly as possible, and put a piece of tape to keep it from unravelling. Drop it in your bottle once it’s dry, and make sure it fits completely in the bottle. Write your name and country on the outside of the bottle in permanent marker such as: “ANA PARKER – SPAIN”. Make sure it’s big enough for someone to read.
5.- Put the bottle in a box. This will prevent breakage or use your imagination with other methods.
6- Drop it in the postal office.
7.- Wait. This is the hardest part. Many people will expect a letter on their first day; don’t do this. It could take a few months to receive a reply. The bottle and the message will be published on this blog, making reference to the author.

Cómo hacer un mensaje en una botella:

1 - . Encuentre una botella. Puede ser de plástico o vidrio . Si desea que se vea real, utilizar una botella de cerveza o vino. El verde es el color más común para las botellas, pero puede ser creativo y utilizar cualquier color.

2 - . Lave la botella. Llene la botella con agua tibia. Añada un poco de jabón para platos y cubra la botella con la mano. Proceda a agitar la botella hasta que esté llena de espuma. Enrolle un pedazo de toalla en una varilla para secarla. Trate de absorber la mayor cantidad de agua posible. Una vez que haya terminado se puede dejar boca a bajo durante la noche para terminar de secar.

3 - . Escriba su mensaje. Puede hacerlo mientras que la botella se está secando. Siéntase libre de escribir lo que quiera, estaré encantado de leerlo. Por favor, indique su nombre, dirección y correo electrónico en el mensaje.

4 - . Enrolle el mensaje. Lo más fuerte posible y coloque cinta a su alrededor para evitar que se desenrolle. Colóquelo en la botella una vez que esté seca, y asegurarse de que encaja completamente en la botella. Escriba su nombre y el país en el exterior de la botella con un rotulador permanente,  por ejemplo: "ANA PARKER - ESPAÑA". Asegúrese de que sea lo suficientemente grande para que alguien lo lea .

5 - . Ponga la botella en una caja. Esto evitará que se rompa o utilice su imaginación con otros métodos.

6 - . Déjelo en la oficina de correos.

7 - . Espere. Esta es la parte más difícil. Muchas personas podrían esperar una respuesta al día siguiente, pero no será posible. Podría tomarme algunos meses enviar una respuesta. La botella y el mensaje serán publicados en este blog (http://igakuseimailart.wordpress.com) haciendo referencia al autor.
