Description:
In this swap, we will create one postcard, for each of your two partners, for a total of two postcards. They will be found object paper bases (think receipts, apt cards, tickets, luggage tags, playbills, wrappers, beer/food labels peel off, paper coasters, basically whatever junk paper you have around). So, add your found object papers over a base to make a postcard, and then after the layer of papers is attached and dry, then you will paint, ink, stamp or draw on top of your found papers to create an interesting piece of mail art. It's cool when your colors are a little transparent so you can see all the beautiful trash underneath. Please adhere your items well so you can send these naked. They can be any size, just include enough postage for what you send. Have fun. Please be a member in good standing of the group, with no recent unexplained low ratings. Please rate your partners.

Is there a size requirement for the postcard?

The post office usually wont mail anything smaller then 3 x5, but other then that No. You can mail any size, just include enough postage for that size. If its large, it may need .49 instead of the .34 postcard rate, or super large may need even more then that. ;D
