Artwork Penpals (who make postcards!)

Do you make artwork? Do you like to put your artwork onto postcards? Do you want to have a penpal who does the same thing? Well, here's a convenient opportunity to combine all these things in one fun exercise!

This swap is designed for people here on swap-bot who make artwork and would like to find a penpal with whom to share your artwork and your stories (you don't have to consider yourself "An Artist," if that makes you uncomfortable, but if you're joining this swap you should be the type of person who creates images that are your very own, whatever that means to you).

If you think you want to give this a go, please read the rules carefully, because they're a little bit more complicated than my usual swap guidelines:

• 1 - This swap has "one partner," but actually you will be exchanging cards with two people: the person you are assigned to and the person who is assigned to send to you.
• 2 - The total number of cards you will be sending is 6, because you're going to exchange three cards with each of your two partners. The swap deadline is the time by which you have to send out your first card. Please include your address when sending to your assigned partner, so they know where to write back to you.
• 3 - You can feel free to keep writing to your partners and sending cards forever, but to meet the swap requirements, you have to send three cards to each person.
• 4 - The cards you send must feature your artwork in some way. They could be original drawings or paintings, or they could just as easily be computer printouts of scans you made from a drawing, or even commercial cards you had printed by some company. As long as your artwork is on there somehow.
• 5 - Tell your partner about yourself! Give your life story, or say what books you're reading lately, or what silly thing your kid did today. Or why you make art... It's not hard to think of interesting things to say, because humans are inherently pretty interesting!
• 6 - This swap is for open-minded folks! We want to get to know each other, so feel free to write about anything you like, but please try not to offend your partner by saying insulting things about their politics or their religion or their atheism or their cat.

If you find any of these rules confusing, please feel free to post a comment below (I promise to check regularly), or pm me with questions!

I really hope this swap works out, because I personally could do with more artsy postcard penpals, and the people here are pretty awesome!

The fine print:
This swap is INTERNATIONAL.
Cards must conform to standard USA postcard sizes - they must be between 3.5" by 5" and 4.25" by 6".
Must have a 4.8 or higher rating, and have successfully completed at least three snail-mail swaps.
