Create a monochrome BROWN postcard - any shade or shades, assume over 75% brown/mocha, no coffee references needed.

Sender's choice so you can start before your partner is assigned. FYI: Pantone has announced that the color of the year for 2025 is Mocha Mousse https://www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year/2025.

It is optional but nice to check partner profiles, especially if you are using insects or clowns! They can be hand-drawn, hand-painted, stamped, collaged, stenciled, etc. or any combination. Recycling is grand. Enjoy creating and rate kindly.

ONE postcard to ONE partner


Mail naked or in an envie. Don't cover your work with clear tape. Be sure to include the word "swap-bot", your swap-bot name, and name of swap on the postcard.


What’s Next My next DIY Postcard swap will a DIY Yellow Postcard swap (Yellow or Yellow/Gray) in January.

Newbie with no ratings? Message me and I will set up a private handmade postcard swap. Have something in your profile. Mine is too long and not the best example!

Sending from USA? To the USA, to only pay $0.56 (or one forever postcard stamp), follow USPS Postcard rules: 



• 3-1/2 inches high x 5 inches long x 0.007 inch thick, AND
• no more than 4-1/4 inches high x 6 inches long x 0.016 inches thick. 



If it's bigger or thicker, or in clear plastic, you pay more. Mailing a postcard internationally from the USA costs the same as mailing a letter internationally.
