Description:

For this swap create one handmade postcard featuring lots of leaves. I'm leaving this open to your interpretation - lots being at least 2 or more. This can be collage, mixed media, stamping only, anything - just not stickers only.

This can be 100% original/handmade or can be an altered postcard. Minimum size 4 x 6 inches and should be sent naked (not in an envelope).

Make something wonderful!

I get a lot of inspiration by looking at other people's art at flickr and other sites. There is AMAZING inspiration if you search by "leaf collage" or "leaf handmade postcard" at Flickr. Or see some of my examples below.

There are so many different ways to represent leaves - leaves as leaves, leaves as collars of a shirt, blue leaves, painted leaves, real leaves dried and captured between plastic, real leaf prints, etc., etc., etc.

Have fun, fun, fun!

Idea and inspiration from mimi7!
