Description:

This is a fun, shared art collaboration among several artists who will contribute each of their artistic works to the same postcard. The result is a small piece of mixed media collage art that will eventually return home to you.

For this first round:

  • Please start with a new postcard rather than passing one that's already started. Postcards are usually 4"x6" if you want to use a PC stamp, but you are welcome to choose the size.

  • Start with a sturdy piece of cardstock and on the back, divide down the middle into the address and writing sides.

  • On the right half, address the PC to yourself including country as these may end up outside the USA.

  • Do not add a postage stamp as the last signer will stamp it and mail it home and only then will the weight and amount of postage due be known.

  • On the left side, divide it into 3 or 4 horizontal sections. This will be for artists to add their names and swap info. Leave the bottom 1/2" for the USPS code stamp.

  • Create your starting background art on the front. Use any mediums you choose: collage, paint, stamping, etc. Remember, these will go through the post several times and may be mailed naked (without an envelope) when coming home, so adhere items well and avoid 3D items.

  • Mail to your swap partner who will add their own unique art to the front before sending it on in another swap. Note: You may send these PCs in any other collaborative swaps, so no need to hold onto it for the next round.

Please PM me if you have any questions.

Be inspired every day!
