Description:

I used to love the Highlights hidden picture puzzles as a kid and thought it would be fun to make our own in cut+paste postcard fashion. So for this swap you will create one collage/mixed media postcard that has pictures "hidden" within the composition. You can use collage images, stickers, stamped images, etc. - the goal is to obscure them within the layers of your collage just enough so that they are not immediately recognizable or obvious. Theme is sender's choice.

In the message of your postcard, be sure to let your partner know what they should be looking for.


Details:

  • The size (and shape) of the postcard is up to you. Minimum requirements are 3½" high by 5" long.
  • Your postcard needs to be original collage work; no scanned prints or photo copies.
  • Use a sturdy base, i.e. bristol, recycled cardboard from boxes, postcards you have that you don't care for, etc.
  • Once your postcard is complete, you will send it to your partner, naked and stamped. Don't forget to put your username & swap name on the back of your postcard. A nice note, greeting or quote to your partner would be great, too :)

If you're on the fence about this, @Bedazzle created a great example: I spy with my little eye. The I SPY line of books are a good inspiration, too.
