Description:

The ABCs of HM PC swap is one (1) handmade (HM) postcard (PC) to one (1) partner that features one (1) letter of the English alphabet (maybe someone will do this for Chinese, or Cyrillic, or Greek, or other alphabet?). The entire alphabet will take us about year to complete, but at the end participants should be able to bind their cards into a book. That means all the cards have to be the same size and orientation.

The size is 4 inches x 6 inches (10.2 cm x 15.2 cm) and the orientation is landscape. The swap's featured letter must be on the front of the card in a way that makes it obvious. This is also so the final book will have a consistent look.

The second swap is for the letter A. The first in the series was for Z. We are doing the alphabet out of order. We are artists. We can be crazy.

This is an international swap. Please make sure your postcards are suitable for "naked" mailing (no envelope) anywhere in the world. Please make sure you do not use plant materials in your design since some countries will not permit such material through customs.

Swap is open to those with complete profiles, at least 3 completed snail mail swaps with corresponding ratings, and a desire to have fun playing with the alphabet.

If you miss a letter, no problem. The coordinator can help you find someone who would love to set up a private swap to help you with your collection. Or, perhaps you might consider joining the Handmade Postcard Club here on Swap-Bot and post a request in the forum.

I just finished mine. It is drying, and when the paint dries, I'll coat it with matte finish, write on the back and then it will be ready to mail off on Monday. I'm really pleased with it, and hope my partner likes it. It'll be posted on my Flickr acct. in a day or two. :)

Mine went in the mail today. But sadly, I forgot to take a photo of it first, so it won't be posted online. Joan, I hope you like it...and that it arrives safely and soon.

Mine was mailed today. If anyone would like to angel me for Z, it would be greatly appreciated! I could send you an ATC or a bookmark in exchange...
