Description:

I love music! I love postcards! So, I had an idea.

This swap is for handmade postcards of your favorite singer or band.

You will have 1 partner, so 1 postcard.

However, if enough of you comment BEFORE the partner assign date, and would like it bumped up to 2 partners, I will gladly do so. I was originally going to make it 2 partners, but I wasn't quite sure.

These postcards can be hand-drawn, painted, collaged.. They can be a CD cover with embellishments. All that is needed for this swap is a hand-made element.

If you are unsure if what you want to do will be acceptable, please message me and explain it as best you can and I will let you know.. (though, chances are .. if you have to explain it.. you're putting effort into it.. and hand-making it. :D )

Nitty Gritty for this swap:

  • Newbies are welcome.. please have a decently filled out profile, though. I would rather you have a few non-email swaps under your belt, however, you may message me if you dont and express your interest.

  • No recent 1's or 3's. I will be going through all the profiles before I assign partners. I will be banning anyone I feel might be a risk to the other swappers. However, if you have a bad [unexplained] rating, you may message me.

  • These postcards are to be sent naked [without envelope]. Please use a sturdy backing (like thick cardstock, another postcard, or a cereal box ) . Use glue that will make it through the mail or 'laminate' it with packing tape.. Just so all the pieces of your work get to your partner. :D

  • Include a friendly message.. or you can include some lyrics. That is up to you.

  • Please be sure to put your swapbot name, the swap name, and the band you made the PC of, so your partner knows. =]

size via The United States Postal Service:

Postcard: Ò€’ Maximum size is 6Ò€ long X 4 1/4Ò€ high Ò€’ Minimum size is 5Ò€ long X 3 1/2Ò€ high

Most of the standard postcards are 6" long x 4" high.. so that'd be a good size.

I loved to make my postcard : my love for the artist inspired me a lot. ;) It's just a pity there is not more participants, because it was a really nice idea. ;) Thanks for hosting this swap !
