SSM: Handmade Postcard - January 2022 SC

This is a "no theme" handcrafted postcard and all aspects are completely YOUR choice. Some of our group members like to do abstract or try out new techniques in a small-ish format. Sender's choice allows for no holds barred creative genius!

SO - make a handmade PC and send it to your partner. That's it! If you are looking for something more structured or challenging, look for our other monthly handmade PC swap with a theme.

Mediums allowed: You can use most anything to create your card. Paper crafting, painting, drawing, stamping, mixed media, etc. The sky is the limit on art supplies you can incorporate. The only restriction is no sticker slapping (dimensional stickers for creative addition is fine). This swap is meant to be artistic and thoughtful. Additionally if you wish to create your art digitally - with ProCreate or something similar, I am totally fine with that! It's truly sender's choice.

Please use a sturdy background. Remember that a "regular" postcard is sized 4 x 6. In the US, if it's larger than that, it requires more postage. If you are outside the US please check the guidelines for sending postcards in your country/internationally. I have had some people ask about an envelope...this is also up to you. Lots of swappers use plastic sleeves to keep their creations from getting wrecked, especially across the oceans. But really all of that is up to you - after all, we are all grown ups and can make those choices for ourselves :D

Feel free to ask questions if there's anything you are unsure of. Equally freeing, do what you want and embrace your options.

General Swap Bot and group rules apply to sending, rating and hearts. To be a part of SSM you must be a non-flaker, but I will check profiles to make sure that there's not anyone who looks suspicious. I always angel my swaps if someone gets flaked on so join with confidence.

Please be kind and communicate with your partner or the swap host if there's an issue. photo courtesy of your lovely swap host
