Description:

For this swap you will be creating and sending one handmade postcard that features your own artwork, in black-and-white. Your work can be of any subject you like, and can be in any medium except for straight-up photography. Examples include drawing, printmaking, photograms, digital art, painting, charcoal (though if you use this, please spray it with fixative before sending!), embroidery, airbrush.... the possibilities are limitless. Well, you're limited to black-and-white. But other than that, limitless. The art must be your own original work, and should be awesome!

Your card must have the swap title plus your username printed clearly on the back, and you should write some sort of message to your partner on the back of the card. I hope to break people away from only including the bare minimum of required information. Surely there are interesting things to say!

The fine print:
This swap is INTERNATIONAL.
Cards must conform to standard USA postcard sizes - they must be between 3.5" by 5" and 4.25" by 6".
Must have a 4.5 or higher rating, or else contact me and explain your circumstances.
Newbies welcome with completed profiles.

"For this swap, you should probably send your card in an envelope, as nude people might get confiscated by the US postal service."

What did this have to do with black and white art?

Oops! I just copied and pasted the text from my nude people swap, and I thought I had successfully changed everything that needed changing.... How embarrassing... I'll go change that now, thanks for pointing it out!

I love Black and White. I just got mine done and signed up! Pen & Ink is my favorite medium...so most usually B&W...Yay! Is my profile detailed enough?

Joatmon, I think your profile is cute AND detailed! I would love to get a postcard from you! I think this swap looks really fun and it's really got me thinking.

So do we need to send this in an envelope? I like to get my cards "naked". :)

Can we use grayscale colors or simply just black and white? Thanks!
