Draw, Sketch, or Paint. Handmade PC Swap

This is a nice, simple postcard swap. Either draw, sketch, or paint something (a person, group, place, animal, scene, object, or still life, etc.) on the front and write a nice note on the back. That's it! Please no photograph or collage cards. And please, take your time and put a little effort into your drawing/painting, no need to rush.

This is sender's choice, but it would be nice to check out your partner's profile first. You have a week to make and mail your postcard after partners have been assigned.

Please send your card naked (stamped, written on, no envelope).

Newbies welcome, otherwise it would be nice if you had a 4.5 rating or higher.

For the newbies: the easiest way to make a handmade postcard is to take an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of card stock (120lb is perfect) and cut it into quarters to make four(4) 4.25 x 5.5 inch cards. You will only need one for this swap, so you can save the others for future swaps!

If you want to use a different-weight paper or to make a different-sized card, please make sure it will go through the post; the USPS site for postcard standards is here: https://www.usps.com/send/first-class.htm (click on the 'Rules & Restrictions' tab). International swappers, please check with your local postal service to verify proper postcard sizes and postage, but size restrictions are likely to be similar.

As with any swap, please don't forget to write “swap bot”, the swap name, and your user name somewhere on the card so your partner knows who to rate!

can we do a Zentangle

I love Zentangle, but this is more for the drawing of actual (or imagined) things than abstract doodling. although you can probably incorporate a little zentangle into your drawing as long as it is just an accent to the subject being drawn

Hi I'm a newbie, just wondering is there any united kingdom swaps?

aliensunset 09/29/2011 #

laura, you can join this one even if you are in the UK, but you may have to send to someone in the US or elsewhere. there are other swaps available that are just in the UK, but none like this one that I'm aware of. if you want to start a UK specific handmade PC swap, feel free! :D
