Description:

Are you sick of tourist postcards? Are you looking for postcards that you can hang up on your wall or refrigerator that look cool and aren't plastered with state names or countries?

THEN...

Send artsy postcards from painters (contemporary, picasso, matisse, etc, any thing that is artistic,) or make your own postcard :) You can find art postcards online, at Art Museums, or stores.

Write whatever you want on the postcard but don't forget to write the name of the swap and your username! You'll have one partner for the swap. If this goes well, I'll make another swap :3

No 1 ratings and iffy about a bunch of 3 ratings. If you can explain that the 1's or 3's weren't your fault, PM me.

I just started recently on swap-bot so I'm going to allow newbies but I'm going to look over profiles to make sure they are completed (not just a few sentences... I mean filled out!).

I will angel this swap if anyone gets flaked on but I will try my best to evaluate any newbies' profiles so that won't happen.

One person to swap to! If this is a hit, I'll make similar swaps in the future :)

EDIT: Date changed for PCs to be sent by July 6th due to the post offices in the US being closed because of Independence Day.

"You can always add more, too :) and of course, don't have to answer the questions that don't apply to you." I'm a bit confused about this. Can you explain it a bit more, please? What questions are you talking about?

Cool swap idea. I'm moving so I can't participate this time. I'd love it if you run one in the future.

@Gofeen I copied the part about ratings and angeling from my last swap so I didn't have to rewrite it. It totally doesn't apply to this one! haha. Thanks for noticing. I'm editing it out now.

I love that you included the option to make handmade postcards! So many of these swaps are hostile towards any DIY crafting- :( . Thanks for supporting handmade!

I've been putting a lot of postcards on my walls lately and most of them are tourist ones I've gotten from Postcrossing. I wanted to put more colorful and interesting postcards up on my wall :)

I use the art postcards I get from swaps as bookmarks -- love having something really pretty in my books.
