Description:

In appreciation of LIFE, let’s create a 4x6 inch postcard:

  • Sender’s choice of medium(s)! Paint, collage, etc. Simply use what you have at home - social distance at it’s finest! 😉
  • Sturdy card-stock backing! Non-corrugated cardboard (like that of a cereal box) will ship for the 35 cent postcard fee. Anything thicker requires additional postage. Please use correct postage!
  • Send naked (without envelope)
  • Spray or brush-on sealant strongly recommended as a finishing top coat before mailing. Gloss/matte mediums and varnishes, mod podges, clear acrylic, resin, or beacon decoupage are all suitable options. Even a light watered down mixture of original Elmer’s glue will suffice!
  • Clear protective sleeves are also allowed, but NO packing tape covered postcards! According to my mail carrier those tape-covered PCs are a USPS nightmare because they leave residue on the sorting machines and cause ripping. Let’s be kind to our postal workers by not making their job any harder! 😉
  • On back, beside your user ID and this swap’s title, please date the PC and answer TWO of the following quarantine questions:

    • What’s one thing you’re grateful for today?
    • Who’s one human you’ll check-in on or connect with today?
    • Which expectation of “normal” will you dismiss today?
    • How will you get some “green time” outdoors today?
    • How will you get some “me time” exercising today?
    • What aesthetic beauty can you create or cultivate today?

Just an FYI: The same postage amounts are used to send to/from places like Puerto Rico, and I don’t want anyone there feeling left out of the creative fun! In case anyone is wondering why the swap is USA & Territories.
