Fabric?
Wood? Plastic? Metal? Random household object?
Put on your thinking caps and stretch those creative
muscles.
Create a piece of art that will be mailed without an
envelope to your partner.
Any materials and supplies other than paper are acceptable. That means the base cannot be paper or cardboard, and the
decorations cannot be paper either.
Decorate with paint, markers, crayons, etc.
Embellish with fabric, ribbon, plastic, foil. polymer clay,
pressed flowers….the possibilities are endless.
The shape and size of the card are also up to you, but
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go visit your local post office and ask them what it will
cost to mail your creation without an envelope. Many thick or rigid objects have to get mailed at the
package rate (which I believe will cost you $2.07)
Make sure I can either adhere a mailing label, or write an
address with a permanent marker. If you need to use a little square of paper or cardboard for
the label area, that’s fine. (Really, I’d prefer a mailing label since these
swaps have been getting kind of big and having to handwrite everyone’s address
would be rather time consuming.
But if I have to write a few addresses in the name of art, so be it.)

A few reminders:
- This postcard is getting sent to your partner without an envelope so make sure anything you add is totally stuck down and mailable.
- Make sure your return address and email address is on the back of your card.
- A little message or quote for your partner is a nice touch.
- Get your card weighed at the post office and send me the appropriate amount of stamps or cash (or send $ via paypal.)
- Include a mailing label with your own address.
