Swap, Quick Swap and Postcard Swap: May and June

So here is what you can take part in for the month of May and June 2017:

1. The normal paper swap 

As usual, free spirit, no theme, send and receive lovely things to lovely people from other countries. You can sign in now.

2. Postcard Swap in June

Our theme this time is “Time flies”. So it’s all about time and its going by. You can make any art and do anything you want, as long as it is sendable on a postcard.

Or more precisely:

Take a blank cardboard or a piece of paper in a postcardsize (at least 10x15 cm) and create some kind of artwork on it. It can be anything you like, a drawing, a collage, a painting, printing, mixed media art etc..Anything that can be send out later. (Very much like an ATC)

Sign in now!

3. Quick swap

There will be a quick swap in June which means sending a normal letter envelope full of paper goodies. 

Sign in for one or two or all via e-mail: lawendula@gmail.com

The Postcard Project in February

Hi everyone, a happy new year and welcome to the postcard project in February!

This is how it works:

You will take a blank cardboard or a piece of paper in a postcardsize (at least 10x15 cm) and create some kind of artwork on it. It can be anything you like, a drawing, a collage, a painting, printing, mixed media art etc..Anything that can be send out later. (Very much like an ATC)

On the flipside you'll write the address and the answer to the question:

Which art tool or technique are you crazy about? Which is the one thing, that you keep using all over again or which technique gives you the best feeling, when you use it in your art?

It would be nice if the artwork on the postcard mirrors this tool or technique, but it’s no must. Do as you feel it is right for you.

You can make as many postcards as you like and can send them to more than one person. Of course you also can only make one. But maybe you will have a creative flow, once you have started.

Have fun!

The Postcard Swap

I am happy to report that this was great fun and the feedback was good. So I will definitely do this again and put up another Postcard Swap in 2017. And you can of course sent out more cards during the next weeks, if you want.

This is what I have received:

Thank you Marina,Sherry, Melissa, Tanja, Mira, Shelly, Myriam and Mary!

And these are 4 of 7 I have sent.

 

Where I am and where I want to be- the postcard project

Welcome to a new project. It’s about art, communication, creativity, fun and connection.

The great thing is, you can make as many postcards as you like and can send them to more than one person. Of course you also can only make one. But maybe you will have a creative flow, once you have started. Another great thing is: It’s cheap, because you only have the mailing costs for a postcard.

This is how to do it:

Take a blank cardboard or a piece of paper in a postcardsize (at least 10x15 cm) and create some kind of artwork on it. It can be anything you like, a drawing, a collage, a painting, printing, mixed media art etc..Anything that can be send out later. (Very much like an ATC)

On the flipside you write the address and the answer to two questions:

Where are you now? (Describe the place where you are right now, what is it like? How do you feel about it?)

Where would you love to be? (Describe your dream place, which can be real or unreal, on earth or somewhere else)

The artwork on the postcard can relate to the real or the dream place, but it’s no must. Do as you feel it is right for you.

Don’t forget to write the sender on the card.

Browse through the list of addresses and send one postcard to one of these participants (or more cards to more participants). 

 

If you get one (or more) postcard(s) from the other players, let them know via e-mail, that you’ve received it. Maybe you like to start an exchange about places to live and places to dream of with the one who has sent or received the card.

The project will start on October, 1^st, please sign in now. Send your mailing address to lawendula@gmail.com.

On the starting date I will all send you the list with the addresses, so everyone can choose one or more ladies to send the postcard to.

 

Any questions? Just let me know!
