AIA: Artistic Collaboration Postcard 7/25

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.
