Description:

I recently was taking my dad to the airport in New Orleans and stopped at a big cemetery (they have lots of them) with some really cool monuments and headstones.. Most of the caskets are above ground and some are very old (as is the city).. I thought it would be cool to create a swap around this theme..

This swap is for handmade postcards. On this postcard there must be a picture on it somewhere from a real cemetery. All the other elements can be of your choosing.. but there must be SOME craft involved: drawing, painting, altered art, etc.. It can't JUST be the photo itself. It can be paper or fabric - the choice is yours but realize that even if you send a fabric PC, you may still get a paper one.

Here are the particulars:

  • SENDER'S CHOICE - you cannot rate down b/c the PC isn't profile related, but as a good partner it's always a plus when you check your partner's profile and use it as a guide when you are able to.

  • 1 postcard for each of your 1 partner

  • postcard must be sent naked (stamped and NOT in an envelope) - so you must be careful that everything on your postcard is firmly attached and suitable for being shipped thru the mail. I personally like to laminate mine for durability - after everything is done and after that I put on the stamp.

  • No flakers no recent or multiple 1's or 3's

  • If you flake in any of the swaps I do - you will not be allowed my swaps ever again

  • Do your very best work - something you would be happy to receive.. and NO STICKER SLAPPING

Feel free to ask questions before the closing of the swap so that if you aren't properly prepared to complete it you can drop.. I will be angeling but I hope it won't be necessary.

ETA: I changed the number of partners to one to entice those on the fence to perhaps join up with less PC's to do.. If anyone would rather do 2 - I would be happy to set up a private swap with them##..

I have pictures of headstones and stuff that are printed on cardstock paper, is this ok?

oh, and what are the measurements of the postcards?

measurements would be standard pc size - 4x6 as a minimum, but you can make it bigger if you like.. that's fine as long as your pc has a pic of one somewhere on it.. so in other words it shouldn't be the ONLY thing on your pc.. think more like mixed media
