S Collage into PC

Love the sign up by date - Great touch Mz Terry !!

Haaaaaappy birrrrrrthdaaaaaay, deeeeear Juuuuuudeeeee. Haaaappy birrrrrthdaaaaaaay tooooooo youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

lol

So what size should the finished postcards be? Standard PCs are around 4x6" -- that would be 6 cards from one 12x12" collage. Is that OK?

Yes, standard size PCs that can be mailed with one stamp are fine. That will leave you with either a piece of the collage for another use, or 2 extra PCs.

Is any type medium allowed? I mean as long as it is mailable...and legal (LOL).

Yes, as long as it is a collage.

Collage (From the French: coller, to glue,) is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.

A collage may sometimes include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas.

I'm working on mine and I think it is going to wind up with lots of texture (lumpy bumpy). May I mail it in an envelope even though I am in the US?

One of the requirements of this swap is mailing the PC naked. If your assigned partner is ok with it being sent in an envelope, then that is between the two of you. (";)

OK. I'll see if I have time to do one that is not so textured. I haven't done much mail art yet and I am a bit paranoid about stuff surviving the mail system.

Sorry Michele.

I've got mine done ladies but I was laminating it for safe travel and the laminator did a poor job... I will have to add a layer of clear packing tape!!!!!! Crikey!

I use packing tape - it seems to work best on lumpy surfaces. (Wonder how it works on cellulite?)
