Description:

I love making collages. I collect bits and pieces of paper ephemera for my collage work everywhere I go, whether on vacation or just running errands around town. This swap is for people who love to collect odd bits of paper ephemera!

Each swapper will have three partners. Send each of your partners an envelope with several pieces of paper ephemera. This can be scraps of paper with an interesting pattern, vintage postcards, maps, posters from concerts or other events, pages out of old textbooks, interesting graphics torn out of magazines, or anything else that is made of paper and would make interesting material for a collage artist. Each envelope should contain at least 3 sheets of ephemera about 8 1/2 by 11 inches, or the equivalent amount if pieces are smaller. Of course, you can send even more if you wish!

Swap is international. Must have a minimum 4.8 to participate, and no recent 1's or 3's. Open to newbies with well-filled-out profiles - I will be checking!

Oooh, this swap is RIGHT up my alley! I have a whole Etsy shop full of stuff like this, AND I just got an awesome pile of vintage wrapping paper on eBay that I can totally share some of. Oh, and that pile of maps a friend gave me a while pack... This is gonna be FUN!
