Description:
you know all those swaps that say "no free cards"? well this isn't one of those. for this swap you MUST send a "free" postcard. there is one catch, though. it must be altered. i guess you would say this is a mailart swap, not a postcard swap. so, if you don't already have some, get out and pick up a couple of interesting "free" postcards and get out your pens, paints, glue, and glitter. let the card inspire you (rather than just totally collaging over the original. let's see those mail artists at work! we'll keep it simple and have only one partner each. one card for one partner (so you can put all your efforts into one fabulous card!) newbies okay no ratings below 4.75 international

Do you mail it in an envelope or send as a post card?

i believe all mail art should go raw - postcards are mailed as postcards, not in an envelope. thanks for asking.

Mailing mine out tomorrow. It should get there pretty quick since my partner and I live in the same state!

I uploaded my card into the slideshow. It says the sender was Aerochik, but actually she is the receiver. :)

I mailed mine without taking a picture. I really liked the finished product. Hopefully the receiver will post a photo. Sorry... Audrey

thanks to all who have uploaded their cards. (it was just a suggestion, so don't worry if you didn't do it.) i love seeing other people's mail art so i'm glad we can share :)

...and, Wacky, as usual, you make me laugh!
