NEWBIE PostCard Swap

NEWBIE postcard swap. AFTER partners have been assigned, read their profile and try to use what they like into your artwork, by either drawing, sketching, or painting. If not, then create something (a person, group, place, animal, scene, object, or still life, etc.) on the front of the postcard. On the back, address it like you would a normal postcard, with the appropriate postage. You are going to actually mail these out. Do not use an envelope. NO photograph, collage cards, Zentangle or doodling, this swap is for drawings of actual (or imagined) things, not abstract designs. Please, do your best work. Newbies: make sure your profile is complete, include your likes, dislikes, hobbies, etc. The easiest way to make a handmade postcard is to take an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of card stock (120lb is perfect) and cut it into quarters to make four(4) 4.25 x 5.5 inch cards. You will only need one for this swap, so you can save the others for future swaps! If you want to use a different-weight paper or to make a different-sized card, please make sure it will go through the post; the USPS site for postcard standards is here: https://www.usps.com/send/first-class.htm (click on the 'Rules & Restrictions' tab). International swappers, please check with your local postal service to verify proper postcard sizes and postage, but size restrictions are likely to be similar. Don’t forget to write “Swap Bot Postcard”, and your user name somewhere on the card so your partner knows who to rate!

IF BY ANY CHANCE YOUR COUNTRY’S GUILDELINES ARE DIFFERENT FOR POSTCARDS THAN THE USA, PLEASE MAKE REFERENCE TO THAT IN YOUR PROFILE AND SEND A REMINDER TO THE PERSON WHO HAS TO SEND TO YOU.
