Description:

If you are like me, you enjoy postcards that depict things, people, creatures or situations that are a little out of the ordinary. Perhaps you get a kick out of cards that are somewhat odd, bent, surrealistic or just downright strange. If this sounds like you, then please join this swap for a fun exchange. If you get offended easily, this is definitely not the swap for you. Please do not join if you have restrictions about what you are willing to receive.

You will have 3 partners for this swap. You will send each partner a naked (stamped and written on) postcard depicting something that you think is odd or strange, unusual or bizarre. It can be just a little odd or a lot odd. Maybe it is something amusing, maybe not. What is being depicted might be the form of a photo of something real that is odd on its own merits or maybe it is an artist's rendering of something that is completely surreal. Maybe the concept that is being conveyed is odd. It's up to you, it just needs to be something that you think is unusual and out of the ordinary. In addition to your Swap-bot ID and the swap name, please include an explanation as to what you think is odd about the card.

No hand-made cards please, but you may use Zazzle, Redbubble or other commercially-made cards as long as the quality of the card's content is good. It may be a modern or a vintage card, but it cannot have been used before.

I will be checking profiles before assigning partners, so if I see anything that looks hinky to me (1 and 3 ratings, etc.), I will drop you off at the door. Since this is a group swap, I don't anticipate having those kind of issues. Oh and since this is a swap where you can get your cards ready ahead of time, there will be only a week between the sign-up deadline and the send by date.

The picture shown above is a mixed media collage I made a few years ago.

@kayenderes zazzle and redbubble are online sites where you can buy postcards made from images uploaded by members or upload your own images and have postcards (and other products) made.
