How about color copies of your best ephemera? I have good luck using the color copier at Office Depot and photo paper and getting some fun things like fancy book covers, cool old toys, or vintage photos that I don't want to lose. These are almost like the real thing. Copies on my home printer are not the quality I am looking for when trading actual ephemera. I"m not Digi literate so don't quite understand how ephemera out of a home printer qualifies as the same as real stuff. Do digi artists use better printers when that is their medium? I know there is a digital-physical debate with ATC's and other types of art. I accept digital art as art. I do use quality copies of ephemera in my art. However, when trading for ephemera I prefer real items.

What say you, Host?

I say really good copies are fine- especially when high quality paper is used. Give your partner a good mix of things, though.

Old maps are fun, too! I also like the pictures that are on the fronts of old patterns for clothing :0)

Will there be another round? I'm not sure about the French theme... I don't have much relating to that, but I have lots of other things that might work for another round.

I would definitely be interested in another round. I don't really have anything that I would consider fitting in the french theme either.

Wonder why partners haven't been assigned yet? The host hasn't been on since June 3. Anybody know if she's okay?

not sure. I would give her a couple of days. Maybe she is busy? I hope...

I sent her a message reminder 2 days ago to her email. No reply.
