Description:

I have extended the deadline on this swap, as I am having internet problems right now, and I won't be able to keep on top of everything until it is sorted. Hopefully no-one will mind too much having a little extra time to prepare their postcards!

Make a postcard, illustrated with a hand-carved stamp/print block. You can carve your block from whatever you like - lino, an eraser, wood, polymer clay, or even a potato! You can use whatever kind of ink/paint etc you like.

Your postcard should measure at least 3Ò€ x 5Ò€, and your print should cover at least half that area (but you could make the design up from several smaller prints rather than one large if you prefer). Your design can have any theme.

On the reverse of postcard, write your swap partner's address, along with a note to say how you made your print & by what method. You can add any other message you like.

You have 2 weeks from the sign-up date to choose a design and carve it. The work is in carving the block, so you have 5 partners to share your finished print with.
