I was involved in a swap like this years ago and it was responsible for some of my favorite ATCs ever. What to do: Choose 3 postage stamps from your collection and then re-create/re-interpret them in the standard ATC format (a rectangle that's 2.5 x 3.5 inches). Use pencils, pens, paint, pastels, whatever (I tend to use a combination of ink and cut paper). The idea is to re-create the image by hand, meaning that just scanning a stamp image, blowing it up to ATC-size, printing it out, and slapping it on cardstock isn't what I have in mind. What to send: 3 different ATCs to 1 partner. Please include either the original postage stamp or a color copy of it in your mail so that your partners can see what it was you re-created. Pasting the original on the back of the ATC is a tidy way to do this. This swap is international, and should be inexpensive because ATCs are (usually) so light. Newbies welcome. Otherwise, no one with a rating below 4.6, please. |
