Description:

Here's the second in our series of Animal Postcards--this time for the letter 'B'. Just like the 'A' card, you'll have 1 partner and you'll create a mail art postcard picturing an animal (and other things, if you like) beginning with the letter 'B.' Please put the letter 'B' somewhere on the front of the postcard. I have seen a similar series in another group or in public swapland, so this is not my original idea but I'm claiming an animal version for our group! When we're done we should have an entire set of 26 animal alphabet mail art postcards!

Since this will be a set, let's keep the size of the postcards uniform. I'd LIKE to keep each card at 5" x 7.

So . . . that's 1 5"x7" mail art postcard featuring an animal beginning with the letter 'B'.

Some suggestions: Butterfly, Buffalo, Bat, Bear, Bird, Bullfrog, or any other 'B' critter that strikes your fancy.

Let's use the term "animal" loosely to mean any living creature (other than human). I would accept a Butterfly for the letter 'B' HOWEVER . . . let's ALL avoid snakes and spiders! Personally I am terrified of spiders and I know others who feel the same way about snakes.

Send on time, remember to rate your partner and have a ton of creative fun picking your B animal!

@trula had asked if I will be having make-up swaps for certain letters and I certainly will. To that end, if you feel completely inspired to create more than 1 animal postcard (of any letter), that would definitely come in handy during a make-up swap ;+)

Is it OK to have more than one animal? Or is one animal to be featured?

Can I do this completely hand drawn and colored?

@artstamper yes! So long as all your "animals" begin with the letter 'B'

@cs62912 yes! I wish I could draw/paint well enough not to always rely on collage--any medium is welcome in the whole series
