Word Collage Postcard Swap announced

This swap is for Paper Traders Members only but we would love for you to become a member and join us. Click the purple yahoo button in the sidebar for more information and how-tos.

Word Collage Postcards
6 x 4 inch Postcard Swap
Skill: 3 - Blossoming
Due:  Postmarked by 30th July
Hosted by: Jo Murray

In this collage the text must be crucial to the piece. Either cut and rearranged, or cut into shapes, or as the subject of the work. Other mediums can be used in conjunction with the text but the text must be the focus.

Examples:
  1. Cecil Touchon http://cecil.touchon.com/paintings.html
  2. Megan Coyle http://mcoyle.com/2011/10/art-for-everyone/
  3. Jo Murray http://jomurray-art.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/altering-text.html
Text can be cut to make silhouettes, still life, or images cut to make text. It can be a totally abstract piece, or not, or it can be various different texts to make a message. Your choice, use your imagination.

Swap partners will be randomly chosen from the list of participants on 20th July, so you might be required to send your cards overseas. Please stipulate if this is a problem for you.

  1. Hi, Beckie! I am working on this idea I have for this postcard swap right now and if I like the results I will be adding my name to the swap list. I must confess I am always second-guessing myself by wondering if what I make is "worthy" of swapping. I need to just go with it and stop fretting.
