International - You must have a reliable mail service and can generally expect international mail to arrive within 5 weeks.


New Participants

  • Cut postcard weight paper to United States postcard size:

    • At least 3½ inches high x 5 inches long x 0.007 inches thick

    • No more than 4¼ inches high x 6 inches long x 0.016 inches thick

  • Divide the front side of the PC into 4 equal sections. (You can divide it into 3 equal parts if you prefer.)

  • Decorate section 1. The postcard may eventually be mailed naked so securely adhere items to your section.

  • Turn the PC over, and address the postcard to yourself.

  • Note: Do not include postage because the last person sending it home may not be from the same country as you!

  • Divide the other half of the back of the postcard into separate writing areas and label them the same as you did on the front 1-4. If you decorated section 1 on the front side...then you will write in section 1 on the backside. This is where you leave a your username and the date. You can also leave this swaps title and anything else if there's room.

  • Sender's choice. The sender decides the theme (it can be an open/free theme). Your art can be any theme and any medium (collage, draw, watercolor, mixed media, stamped, etc).

  • Mail the postcard, in an envelope, to your partner.


Next Round

  • In the next round, use the postcard you have received from your partner in the last Pass & Paste round.

  • Decorate one of the empty sections and then put it in an envelope and send that PC forward in the next round.


Finish

  • The goal is to have each space filled out by a different artist, and then sent home to the originator.

  • When you receive a postcard with only one empty square left, decorate it and mail it back naked or in a clear protective sleeve, to the original creator. Their name and mailing info should be on the card already. You will need to add the proper postage stamp.

  • If you receive an unfinished Pass & Paste postcard please always send it on, even if you decide not to participate any longer. At the very least, send it back to the original creator. Or send it to me (P.O. Box 31013 Willowwest, Guelph, Ontario N1H 8K1 Canada) and I will forward it on. That way everyone should eventually get their postcard back.

  • If you are assigned the creator as a partner, do not send them their uncompleted postcard. Start a new PC.

  • If you get assigned a partner and they have already worked on that PC, then hold it and send it in the next round to a different partner or please send it to me. Start a new PC.

  • If the finished PC is particularly fragile, lumpy, or things not adhered well, or wet weather is an issue, go ahead and send in a sleeve or envelope, though naked is preferred.
