Winter White with sparkle Postcards - due December 7th

Hooray for another first time host - Joy Meadows!

Joy's theme is Winter, and your challenge is to create a postcard that uses primarily shades of white with a little added sparkle.

(Think snowflakes, trees, deer, landscapes, etc.)

Create up to four postcards, using any medium or technique.  Postcards will be mailed "naked" (without an envelope) so don't get too crazy or lumpy.

Make sure to adhere proper postage and to include mailing labels in your envelope.  Send everything by December 7th to:

"New Technique" swap - due November 30th

Joanne McCabe is hosting her first swap with us.

In her own words:

"How often do we buy new art supplies that we swear we'll use, or a book on some new technique that we tell ourselves we'll have mastered by the end of the week? And then the supplies sit in their plastic wrappers and the books gather dust?

I bet we all have such unrealized dreams, but here's a swap to stretch you. The technique is wide open (so long as it's art, and mailable), as is how you interpret "technique." Here's an excuse to to try something you've wanted to do, but haven't done yet. Whether it's sewing fabric postcards, picking up a paintbrush, or trying something new with your gelli plate, choose something that will cause you to grow."

Be sure on the back to write a note as to what the technique was, and how you found the experience. 

Create up to four postcards - all four can be the same "new technique" or if you're feeling really inspired, you can try four different new techniques!

Adhere proper postage, and stick them in an envelope with return address labels.

Mail them by November 30th to:

Tiny Houses - due November 23rd

Naila Moon is hosting a tiny house swap!

Check out these adorable houses she made.

If you look closely, you'll see these are resting on a ruler, and that each one is only a few inches wide.

For this swap, you will create up to four tiny houses (which will be mailed back to you in an envelope.)  Technique should be mixed media - a combination of collage, paint, drawing, ephemera, etc.

Size should be about the size of a playing card so that it could fit in the palm of your hand.  Height should be between 3 and 4 inches.

Send them to Naila by November 23rd, and include a self-addressed stamp envelope in your package.

 

Postal themed postcards - due November 16th

Christie wants to re-visit a theme we did a few years ago - all things Postal!

Here are the great cards she made for that swap:

That last swap was an ATC swap, so the scale on these is small, but for this swap we're making full-size postcards! Lots more room to display all that postal goodness.

Your challenge:  Create up to 4 postcards featuring images and ephemera related to the postal service.  Cards will be sent "naked" through the mail (without an envelope) so don't include any of those cool bar-codes or the postal machines may scan them and route them to some other part of the country!  And of course, don't make them too lumpy...

Send your cards, with proper postage affixed, in an envelope and don't forget to include your address labels.
