Description:

Welcome. The swap-
I was thinking of changing the title to "Please Send Me Some Good Karma" After the holidays to cheer up your swap partners with some positive messages sent by your favorite god or goddess. Create two hand made postcards or stationary card in a collage or hand drawn for example. Add India art designs for example henna. If you can't think of one maybe you can find one. Write the name of the goddess or god you choose from. Their positive message. Send one to two different people. Newbies, U.S. and International are welcome. Receive a heart if you send an extra postcard or something extra. I will add some sites on various Gods and Goddesses. Please feel free to add some interesting India sites on this theme. PLEASE JOIN OUR INDIA GROUP CALLED Incredible India Group ALL THINGS INDIA.

Just a few sites to check out. http://barbararaisbeck.wordpress.com/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakti or anything in the Wikipedia site.

On henna art. http://www.scribd.com/doc/23364/The-Henna-Page-Howto-Patterns-vol-1

Yes that is fine to use the computer to create it. Use any form of medium (computer graphics, pencil, ink, collages, paper, paints, colored pencils, charcoal, etc.) to create your cards or postcards. Please don't just use stickers. The How To Henna patterns was really found by our Incredible India group on swap bot. Please check us out.

Here is some inspiring India art ideas from these sites. One of my favorites: Meditation Art, Hindu Goddess Art from India. http://www.meditationart.com/fine-art-india/hindu-goddess-art.html

Here are more sites if anyone wants to order postcards or anything India: http://www.craftsofindia.com/ (tons of postcards and items.)

http://www.smallstudioproductions.com/Emporium/postnotes.html (I found one set so far called India Inspired Postcard Collection.)

http://www.profoundia.com/hindupostcards.html

Happy swapping.

I sent my Little Gods out today and look forward to doing more. If I end up with some of the same people then I will send them another diffrent God or Goddess. One can never have to many blessings or good will.
