Description:

For this swap you will take a printed book page, size (4x6 , 5x7, or close to those sizes) and alter into a mail art postcard. Glue your book page onto a secure backing such as a cereal box or similar piece of cardboard. You can then paint it, collage it, make found poetry, doodle on it, stamp it..whatever moves you, but it must remain obvious that it is a book page. There are some amazing examples of altered book pages on the Internet... Google is your friend! :)

Remember that this is mail art and you will be mailing your postcard naked so keep this in mind when you embellish it and so on. Make something you would love to receive.
