Description:

I've offered this swap a couple times, and always love the creative outcomes, so I thought we would do it again.

Here it is:
I love this artist, Ruth Ossterman, and how she is collaborating with her child.

Here shows just one of their collaborations.

And more

This will be a two part swap. First you will make a plain white postcard, and scribble on it in in paint, or permanent ink of some kind. Next you will send your one partner, that postcard in an envelope. Address the postcard to yourself.

Your partner will then. take your scribbles and turn it in to some kind of art. They will then put a stamp on it, and send it back to you within one week of receiving it.. With the final result being an interesting collaboration between two artists.

Please leave a profile comment when you have received your postcard back so the sender knows it has been received. And, if at all possible, please post a photo in our forum. The photo is not a swap requirement but it would be nice to see everyones creations.

Have fun.

10/25 Swap send by date was changed to allow more travel time Internationally.

There should be more time - it can take a month to get to a different country.

I love this idea! Have sometimes done this with my kids too. But do I understand right, that the rating is given just for the scribbled card? So there's no way to rate the completed art piece.. but maybe we could leave a profile comment instead?

Yes, to both of you.

user6937 You're absolutely right, it should have more time. I've adjusted the send by date.

catida..Yes, we do leave profile comments when sending swaps that have more than one part. I have added that to the swap description also, just so there is no confusion.

Thank you!!

So.. The send by -date is for the second part (the completed art piece)?

Finnish postal service is planning to begin a two weeks strike on November 11. I'm waiting to see if the situation will be solved before I dare to join.

No, you have until Nov 30, to send your first part. You have a week to complete part two and put it back in the mail home.

The original description made it sound like the finished product should be received by the sendby date, which is why I suggested giving more time. I don't think we need a month to send scribbles to our partner.

If we send and receive from the same person, then we need the longer time so we get rated on the finished product.

Just my opinion, but I'd prefer to be rated on what I made from the scribble.

Not that I'm trying to change your swap, just trying to understand it better.

No problem. I should have just left it as it was. ;D lol. Anyways, Maybe next time I'll change the swap description and requirements, but for this swap, I'll leave it as is. I don't like to change things once people have signed up and certainly don't like multiple changes. And, yes, most people will not need so much time to send scribbles. Thanks for the input. I'll keep it in mind for the next one.
