I love my sharpies! Do you??

If so, join me in celebrating our love of sharpies with a post card swap. Create on beautifully sharpie-ful postcard for your partner for one partner. Round 1 is senders choice so you don't even need to wait for partners to be paired up! Get to work now on your sharpie masterpiece! Postcard must at least be standard postcard size. Feel free to send larger, or odd sized cards if you so desire.

Rating requirement of 4.9 no recent 3s or 1s. I'll be checking profiles before assigning partners to be sure you've checked in to swap-bot at least two days before I assign.

I'll angel anyone that needs it, but hope to not have to do so.

what a neat idea!

Thanks @Joyhouse5 ! I did a bunch of these swaps in 2010 or so and truly miss them. Sharpies are my weapon of choice, so it's only natural to host a swap all about them.

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! SHARPIES!!!!!! I cannot live without my sharpies!!!!!! I need a new set because most of mine are really used. I am totally joining!!! Thank you for hosting.

I like to design with markers, the sharpies are usually to large of a tip for my liking, but if the entire card can be done with that in mind, then I will go for it!

I do not know yet what it will be.

So question, the card can be a picture I draw, the entire front does not need covered correct?

I would rather do a free hand drawing and sharpie it in, than my usual tangles for this swap.

ViridianMuse 05/ 3/2013 #

yes. as you can see in the swap image, it doesn't have to be an overly detailed zentangle style. This is for a sharpie artwork on the front of the postcard. Be it bird drawings, geometric shapes colored in, fanciful ballet dancers ...as long as 93% is done in sharpie markers then it'll pass :)

@roaddummy I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?! I have been a sharpie hoarder for YEARS! :)

@fawnscrafts i miss read your question. My 93% statement didn't mean the whole card needed to be covered. I like to use metallic paint pens in my work sometimes, and also whites....but it does not have to be entirely covered. the white/color of the card stock you use is fine to show through :)

StarMouse says: I've been inert for a long time, but can't resist this swap! I love sharpies, and use them on everything. I do postcards to make calm in my soul. I'm hoping my recent inactivity on this site won't keep me from being allowed in! ;-)

WELCOME @StarMouse inactivity happens to all of us. :) Glad you want to join in and be part of the fun! I plan to do these sharpie swaps at least once a month! :)
