Description:

I'm new to making artistamps/faux postage stamps. I've been making them one at a time instead of in a booklet or a sheet so I figured, why not swap them like that? This'll be a good way to start a collection of artistamps for those of us who are just starting, and to see ones made a variety of artists.

To the nitty gritty. You'll be sending two artistamps apiece to each of your 5 partners for a total of ten stamps. The first stamp to each partner must be one you made yourself--all media are welcome; drawing, collage, stamping, but however you make them you should put time and effort into these and do the best you can. The second stamp can either be one you made yourself or one from your collection by another artist--sender's choice. Even if you choose to make both yourself they should be different rather than duplicates, though if you choose to send more than the required two duplicates are welcome.
Relatively quick turnaround since this shouldn't be too hard. I hope everyone will have fun with this!

yay 5 people! I'm always happy with how many people join my swaps as long as there are as many people as there are supposed to be partners.

I know what you mean! I'm new to hosting swaps, and one of mine this spring said three partners, and only one other guy signed up.

By the way, he flaked!

Fortunately, I've had the privledge of celebrating the "just the right number of participants" benchmark for the rest of my swaps. Whew!
