Description: | |
I did this swap last year and Promised to do another round. I have changed the title. This is a two card swap to one partner. (better for postage) For this swap you need to use a piece of junk mail, such as a letter from a credit card company, or insurance company. You can use junk mail in any language you have received that you can understand. Translate to English, on the back of the card or on a sheet of paper. Cut out words from the letter, to create a meaningful few words, aka found poetry. If you dont understand what found poetry is, please google it before signing up. PLUS you must add at least ONE cancelled used postage stamp from any country. This swap is mainly about the words in the letter, and not about the images. It is about found poetry in Junk mail. After you have added the words, and one image, you are required to do at least one more thing to your card. Ink edges, or add an image, a flower, a butterfly, a punch, use a rubber stamps, etc. Your cards need to measure 2.5 x 3.5, have a sturdy backing, have contact info on the back, and be mailed in a safe manner. The cards are senders choice so you can get started now. But please do not do scary themes, or patriotic themes. No holidays either. This is the USA version and there is an international version. BTW YES you have to use junk mail not a book or a magazine, but junk mail. Dont have junk mail? Hmmm Im jealous! |
