Artsy Postcards was such a hit, I made another one but tweaked the settings :)

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, pollock, bacon, picasso, matisse, etc, any thing that is artistic,) or DIY and make your own postcard :) You can find art postcards online, at Art Museums, or random stores (I found a bunch of artistic postcards at Job Lot).

Write whatever you want on the postcard but don't forget to write the name of the swap and your username! You'll have TWO partners for the swap.

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. If not, you're banned. If you don't have a completed profile and you're a newbie, then you're banned too because you didn't fill it out enough.

I'm going to allow newbies (because many swaps don't allow newbies and we all have to start somewhere!) 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.

Two people to swap to!

Would you be willing to extend your description of what is "artsy" to encompass 3D and craft work? Painters is pretty limited set.

Hi, I'm a newbie... what does the verb form of "angel" mean? :D You said, "I will ANGEL this swap..." Thanks! :D

@Aria Angel in this case means that if someone doesn't follow through and send their postcard, the person who hosts the swap will send one in their place. It is called angeling because it is an act of kindness and love, so people who follow through and send their mail also get mail in return.

Oh, thanks. :D I thought it was something like that. :D
