Layered Textures Post Card Swap - Postmark by September 24th

Cardstock punch-outs, gauze, beads, skeleton leaves

There is something really interesting about art that not only attracts visually, but also appeals to the tactile sense.

There are many ways to add texture to your art.

Consider using materials like string, fibers, sheet rock tape, gauze, wrinkled tissue paper, Magic Mesh, ribbon, paper doilies, texture paste pushed through stencils, etc.  Any background is allowed.

**** NOTE****

THESE PICTURES ARE FROM A PREVIOUS WHITE- ON-WHITE SWAP, BUT THIS IS NOT A WHITE SWAP.

Cardstock punch-outs, skeleton leaves, cording, Magic Mesh, texture paste, lace

Take care to seal your layers well and allow time for your art to dry before mailing it in.  Participants may create 1 - 4 pieces to be exchanged with designated swap partners.

Gauze, Magic Mesh, skeleton leaves, texture paste through stencil

PLEASE keep in mind that as your art becomes thicker or stiffer, it may require more postage if it needs to be sent as nonmachinable.  Your swap host will appreciate receiving adequate postage to cover the cost of sending your art along.

Another Hand-Decorated FIVE Papers Swap - Postmark by September 17th

Jute Resist Papers with acrylic paints

About a year and a half ago we had a Decorated Papers swap, which followed a wonderful Painted Papers swap before that.  

There is just something special about hand-painted/decorated paper.


As before, the possible media options may include paint, ink, "paste papers"  (Check Internet for some fascinating YouTube demonstrations.);  stenciling, marbleizing, rubber stamping.
