Send one Pass and Paste postcard to one partner.
You can join in at any time by starting a Pass and Paste Postcard, or by sending on one that you have received from an earlier round, or another swap.
Pass and Paste postcards are a fun form of collaborative Mail Art.

Decorate section 1. The postcard may eventually be mailed naked so securely adhere items to your section. Turn the PC over. Address the postcard to yourself. Leave room for swappers to write notes. Note: Do not include postage because the last person sending it home may not be from the same country as you! Back postcard: Your address and divided area for swappers to leave a short note which will include a username and date, and anything else if there's room. (see the illustration above). Example of the back of the postcard Theme: Open/Free theme or 'Sender's Choice'. Any art medium (collage, draw, watercolor, mixed media, stamped, etc). Swapper's choice. Mail the postcard, in an envelope, to your partner.
Established P&P Postcard
If you are using a postcard you have received from another Pass & Paste swap, decorate one of the empty sections and then put it in an envelope and send it to your partner. If you get assigned a partner who has already worked on that PC, then hold it and send it in the next round to a different partner or please send it to me. Start a new PC. If you are assigned the creator of the postcard as a partner, do not send them their unfinished postcard. Start a new PC. If you send your partner a homer (last section) postcard it should be to a Canadian address, so postage is within Canada.
Finish
The goal is to have each space filled out by a different artist, and then sent home to the originator. When you receive a postcard with only one empty square left, decorate it and mail it back to the original creator. Their name and mailing info will be on the card already. You will need to add the proper postage stamp.
- If you receive an unfinished Pass & Paste postcard please always send it on, even if you decide not to participate any longer. You can send it to me and I will send it on. That way everyone should eventually get their postcard back.
