Description:

The original idea for this swap came from @ultracinematik who is running a US version of this swap in another group and who gave me permission to copy it in our UK group.

For this version of a cut and paste handmade postcard swap you'll take one single image from a book or magazine and make it into a 4x6 postcard using a sturdy recycled backing.

This is not a collage, but one single image to cover the entire 4x6 recycled backing (from packaging or similar).

Use an engaging image that you think would make an excellent postcard, or use your partner's profile for inspiration.

Be sure to use quality images on paper that will survive the mail system. Newspaper isn't a good option, which is why only book and magazine images are listed, but even some magazine pages are too thin and delicate. Use your best judgement.

Keep in mind that slick pages may not do well with a liquid glue, so use a quality glue stick or tape runner for adhering slick images to your backing.

Once you have your image stuck to your backing, write swap info and message, address, stamp and send naked (no envelope)..
