Found Poetry

In this swap, you will create either one found poetry ATC or one found poetry mail art postcard, for your one partner.

Simply glue text, like a book page, newspaper, or magazine page, etc, to your base. Then search the words to make your own story/poetry. Circle or Box your words and connect them in order of your found poetry. Do not just circle random words and call it done.....actually try to make something that makes sense.

You can do blackout poetry (where you color out everything except your chosen words) or found poetry, also sometimes called altered text poetry (where you circle your words and connect them in some way) . You can choose to draw a design, or use color, or one color to highlight around your words.

HERE are some examples on Pinterest.

Have fun.
