Woo oo ooowooo o ooo (ghost sounds)

This swap is a direct rip off of misscorbeau's ATC swap ... per her suggestion. Thanks Kerri!

Please use collage and /or mixed media to create one postcard for one partner. Just a little sumpin for Halloween that isn't the usual pumpkins, etc. Scary themes and/or scary images please. Plenty of time to make your card and since it's sender's choice, start now!

This will be fun that it ends a week or so before Halloween and can arrive to one another in time for the scary night!!

This is meant to be a naked postcard exchange but if you're concerned about successful delivery, feel free to put it in an envelope.

I had something that would have been perfect to collage with for this. Swap, but I just sent it to Fi In another swap... I think she'll love it though!

Speaking of Fi...=laugh= Could I ask, Angie, if we can extend the brief for this swap to include collages that are not necessarily scary, but are dark, surreal, &/or disturbing? Scary is such a hard thing to achieve, because it depends so much on the recipient's individual notion of what is scary for them. But most people can agree when an image—such as the wonderful one you have in the writeup—is dark, surreal, &/or disturbing.

I love your idea of a no-pumpkins-allowed, no-Happy-Holiday swap for Halloween! I'm just hoping to tweak it a little bit....

Hi Fi. Yes. I'd say yes. Dark, surreal, disturbing fits in with scary. I think clowns on a roller coaster is scary, but I'm a light weight. Hee hee.

omg...clowns on a roller coaster would be like, a happy fun-time image for me, haha!
