Description:

This swap is to send your partner a naked Postcard of YOUR ART!

At the very least send a postcard that you've had made at Winkflash, Snapfish, or one of those type of sites, or printed from your own printer with GOOD INKS on matte photo quality or card stock paper. You will send one postcard each to 3 different partners.

It doesn't HAVE to be a printed card though, that is just the BARE MINIMUM of what you should send to get a 5 rating, and expect to receive back.

IDEAS: -You could send a collage card, either reusing the cover of an old greeting card and then adding to that image or collaging over it, or you could use a flashcard if it happens to be the right size, or for more sturdy card stock look at cereal and cracker boxes! Make absolutely sure that your collage is well decoupaged down and sealed with something like Clear Acrylic Medium available in the paint section of most craft and art stores.

-You could make a hand drawn or painted postcard, just make sure that anything like this is sealed well with a Clear Acrylic Medium (since Mod Podge can stay sticky, get ruined, and ruin other people's mail if it gets stuck to it).

-You could make Quilted postcards which are very cool, that is something i have never done before but it sounds great, and if you already know how to do that feel free to send one, i'm sure your partner would love it!

This swap is SENDER'S CHOICE, Its about putting your art into the world, though if you have the time do take a quick look at your partners profiles and try to figure out which of your postcards that you have they might like most. Everyone loves to please their partner! :)

actually i guess i should make sure this is okay - i have some funny "that's what she said"-themed postcards i would like to send, but not everyone necessarily appreciates the joke - would those be okay to send?

Okay just so everyone knows... I am going to sign up and send my postcards, but if you read this and really don't want one, send me a message or post here and if you end up my partner I'll send you something else. Thanks! =)

I'd love one!

BTW i am sending postcards printed of my art. I wanted to do something more artistically intensive, quilted or collage postcards, but things got too busy at work!
