Here's a fun one, suggested by the wonderful mail artist known as PostMuse. Decorate the front of a postcard with any kind of images, words or graphics that illustrate something about yourself. Write a little message on the back explaining what you chose to represent and why. This is wide open to interpretation. You could do a self portrait if you wanted. Or a picture of your pet. Or words to your favorite poem. Or a collage of your favorite foods. You get the idea. Anything goes. Have fun with it.
SWAP DETAILS:
SWAP DETAILS:
- Create a postcard, no larger than 4"x6" and decorate it with something that tells us who you are
- Write a message on the back introducing yourself and explaining what you chose to represent about yourself.
- include your name and contact information (address and/or email and/or blog) so that you partner can thank you or find out more about you.
- leave the address section blank
- Stick in in an envelope with:
- a stamp (don't adhere to the postcard in case I need to send yours to someone out of the country)
- a mailing label with your name and address on it (I will stick it on the card I mail back to you. This keeps me from having to decipher handwriting on the envelope you send me, and saves me time when swapping everything and mailing it back out)

PO Box 532
Shrewsbury, MA 01545
United States
- Feel free to make more than one ( you can send them to me in the same envelope). You'll get back the number of postcards you create. Make sure to include a mailing label and stamp for each post card you create.
- If you live outside the US, don't include stamps, but send me $1 for postage via paypal. email: iamrushmore@gmail.com
- I will post your work to the blog when I receive it. If you would like your image linked to your blog, or flickr account, or facebook page, or etsy shop (or whatever) just send me a note telling me how you want it linked. (this is a great way to meet other artists and make lots of new friends)
