Description:

I hope everyone had a good holiday! Letโ€™s get back our add n passes back in circulation.

Everyone who has done any previous rounds should have a card in their possession now so, here is round 4.

If you havenโ€™t joined us before, please be sure to read the instructions carefully.

This add n pass will work a little differently from those where the postcard is divided into sections.

For this postcard, you will cut out a postcard size suitable background. (4x6 please)

PLEASE USE A STURDY BASE. If you base is too thin, it could get lost in the mail easier.

You will then either collage or paint or a combination of both, a background covering the whole card.

On the back of the card where the message is usually written, you will have 4 spaces for each artist to add their name and a brief explanation of what they added to your card.

When partners are assigned, you will mail this โ€œpostcardโ€ to them naked. You will address it to them and add a stamp and off it goes. When you receive the postcard sent to you, you will add to the background with some light collage, some more paint, some stamping or ? keeping in mind that 2 more people will be adding to the card yet.

When its time to send out again, you will add your partners address to the back (either add a label over your own address or use gesso or paint to cover it or some other creative way) add a new stamp over the old stamp and send it on.

We will continue like this for 4 rounds. The last person to add to the card will add some final touches including the focal point before sending it home.

There is a good chance you will receive your own postcard to add a layer to for the third round and there really is no way to prevent this. Just add to your card as if it were someone elseโ€™s. Be sure to secure all additions to the card in such a way that there is minimal chance of damage.

IMPORTANT: No tape is to be used, no puffy embellishments and no stickers allowed. Keep all additions flat. Feel free to message me with any questionsโ€ฆ and have fun!

If you wish to discontinue, please send whatever card you have in your possession to either me or the owner of the card.
