Trashy Postcard

It's not what you think...or maybe it is what you think. For this swap, we will be making postcards out of reused or found materials that would otherwise get thrown out in the garbage/recycling.

Starting with a recycled base (cardboard snack or cereal boxes, file folders, covers from old notebooks), create a collage using things like: bottle labels, receipts, clothing tags, fruit stickers, newspapers, junk mail, ticket stubs, food wrappers, packaging, shopping bags - anything that would normally get discarded (by anyone else except us industrious mail artists).

Please use genuine, previously used ephemeral bits - meaning no printed collage sheet images or brand new items (like raffle tickets right off the roll or blank receipts from a pad). We've all got some junk laying around, even if we don't expressly try collecting it. It's just...there, heh.

One postcard for one partner - size is sender's choice. Don't forget to reference the group & swap name on the message side of your card.

To join: you must not have any recent 3's or any unresolved 1's. As host, I reserve the right to remove any participants who may be sketchy or problematic.
