Items are sender's choice, but please check out your partner's profile for any requests you wish to fill. EDIT!!!!! NOTE: An A5 envelope = 4x6 Due to the comments and concerns people have regarding the modern reproductions I completely understand where everyone is coming from. Therefore I will edit and amend this swap. THE REQUIREMENTS NO LONGER INCLUDE MODERN REPRODUCTIONS OF EPHEMERA. ORIGINALS ONLY PLEASE!!!

What's an A5 envie?

Be carefull when you said modern reproductions. Vintage ephemera is vintage ephemera. It wouldn't be the first time when I send my original old pieces and get back the most bad prints stolen of internet.

hmmm..I'm just watching for now - I'm very interested in joining, but am also concerned that I may end up with prints stolen from the internet (would it perhaps be possible to specify that 'modern reproductions' must not be straight out the printer, unless they are BOUGHT to print, or..?)

I think A5 is a 4x6" envie, if I'm not mistaken?

(EDIT TO ADD:) ...or good quality, free-ly available printed images (I know some websites kindly offer good quality scans of ephemera/reproductions for people to print for free)...

There are a few places on Flickr where you can print vintage photos, etc. Collage art not sharing-or a name like that. I also have quite a few on mine Dianthusmoon that I share.

I'm a grafical designer and offer also collage sheets, and I know almost all the sites and people who offer them for free too, but believe me for a good quality print they be useless. I never should use about 92% which is offered. First it be web-safed images which is something different as for a print file which has at least 300 DPI, and the real printsize is mosty not larger as an inchie even when it's mend as a postcard. I think I know three sites who offer a good quality scans and print. The rest is trash.

Besides of that when another can get it from internet I can download it by myself too. Why should I swap my original emphera for a print?

So I think I say thanks this time. I be back when it will be a real for real emphera swap.

Hmmm. This might be hard to do, since I didn't get the "edit" note until after partners were assigned! :(
