this is an international swap****

i was very inspired byt the aresnic and old lace swap that just happend, here is something simlilar i would like to try

create 2 handmade postcards within the macabre genere, they must include art and poetry.send 1 postcard to each partner.

you can paint,collage,illustrate,stamp etc. and must have a least one line of poetry you feel relates to the macabre.

examples of macabre artwork and illustrations can be found easliy thru google and wikipedia, you can go edgar allen poe ("THE" macabre poet) or choose some romantic or whimsical poetry to accompany your atwork. i will leave it pretty open to your interpretation.

i look forward to seeing what everyone come up with, also if you are able, scan your postcards and post them here or write a link to your blog or flickr or wherever you post swapped items.

now for the red tape,

no one with ratings of less than 4.5, blank profiles or more than 3 no sends will be admitted. newbies welcome but you must write a note on introduction below in the discussion forum.

enjoy the macabre in spring

the above image ("night bloom") is an atc i did, it just goes along with the title, its NOT my actual postcard:)grin

Greetings. The idea of exploring spring's dark and sometimes violent side is compelling. Birth/rebirth certainly isn't always pretty. Around here the news has been filled with stories of people being struck by lightening and blown away by cyclones. Okay, off to contemplate imagery and verbage combinations now...

Hi I am EonsMomma and I must admit I am a newbie here. Not to swapping though. I have been swapping on a scrapbook site for over 1 year. I am pretty sure this site is more my style, then the scrapbook site. Nice to meet all of you.

I LOVE Edgar Allen Poe!!! He's my favorite!! I'm not a very artsy person, but I'm going to give this a shot!! I would LOVE it if my partner could taylor something towards Mr. Poe for me!!! You don't have to, but it would surely make my day!!!

Great idea. Are these postcards or ATCs, or does it matter? (You mention posties but have it in the ATC category.)

I have a question, are we suppose to do anything to the back of the card? or just leave it blank? I have one done, just need the other one.

threesweetpeas 05/24/2007 #

eons momma, you can decide its entirely up to you)

eonsmomma 05/24/2007 #
