Description:

I collect all things vintage, but most of all I love vintage images for collage and atc making.

This is a swap for those who love vintage ephemera for paper crafts.

I want to see how this swap will go, so I will start with a small envelope and make a larger swap if this one works out okay.

Please fill a standard size envelope with vintage images, postcards, photos, stickers, colour copies of originals.....any vintage paper images really.

This is an International swap, and newbies are welcome!

One question - do those images have to be really "old ORIGINALS" - or are replications ok - like those Vintage Collage-Sheets you can buy at ArtChixStudio etc.?!?

OwlAntler 08/20/2007 #

Creative creations- good question...i forgot to add that.

Replications and colour copies of the originals would be fine....actually, thats pretty much what I meant.... I would prefer not to send off all of my originals!

what size do you mean when you say "standard size" envelope?? business size, or larger manila envelope??

I'd really like victorian feel pictures to use in my zine. but anything really would be cool!

OwlAntler 08/24/2007 #

crimsoncat05- that is an envelope about 6 inches by 4 inches. Sorry about the late reply!

Just double checking - I plan to send my partners good quality colour copies of vintage ephemera- Is that okay? I make copies because I use stuff from lots of old mags and books that I don't want to cut up.

OwlAntler 08/27/2007 #

Drewzel- Yes! thats totally what I mean...colour copies of originals....any sort of vintage IMGAGE is perfect. This is my first time hosting a swap...I will remember to be more clear next time!

tarah_masu, thank you for thinking of this great swap! I love vintage ephemera. Count me in.

i'm really excited for this swap!! <3

iheartswap 09/20/2007 #

oh, sorry to ask but are we able to request the authentic vintage papers/postcards/etc..that is what i plan to send :)

towenby 09/21/2007 #

As tarah_masu said, I too prefer not sending all originals. I will probably do a mix of originals and copies.

OwlAntler 09/21/2007 #

helloloveli.....I will be sending some originals, but I do have a hard time letting many of them go.....so as I will send a few originals, I will be sending mostly copies. Thanks backroads for your early reply!

On a tiny gentle note, please remember that you cannot copy the images purchased from a collage set or from someone. I would hate for someone to think that we were doing that! I have lots of old post cards and greeting cards,and that is what I can send copies of! Hope that helps!

Is there a minimum or maximum postage on this?

towenby 09/24/2007 #

I just finished stuffing my envelope (approx. 4x6 inches) and would like to make a friendly suggestion for future swaps of this nature. If a swap is meant to be a small swap, and manila envelopes are not in order, I would like to suggest using the 4x9 business size envelope. I discovered in stuffing the 4x6 inch envelope that I had to fold many of my pieces of ephemera. I would imagine some items would still need folding in a 4x9, but it wouldn't be as many. Thanks!

OwlAntler 09/28/2007 #

back.roads....thanks...that is a very good suggestion. We will see how this goes, and WHEN I do another swap like this, I will suggest 4by9 inch envelopes.

Also, I don't have a minimum or maximum postage on this....Im from the czech republic, and dont know the conversions....just fill up the envelope...STUFF AS MUCH IN THERE as you can! lol.

tarah_masu, I look forward to your next vintage ephemera swap! Thanks!
