Description:
Use a light color background fabric. Paint a picture with whatever medium you are comfortable with. I don't want to put restrictions on what you paint. But lets keep it rated PG-13. LOL. Hopefully this will inspire people to try something new. Here are a few links to check out. How to Paint on Fabric, Fabric Painting Basics, Fabricpainting.com Make sure the postcard is completely dry before mailing it. It can be sent naked or in an envelope. You can also embellish it anyway you would like.

Do you mount the painted fabric on card or something to post it?

You can sew it or glue it to the front of a postcard. Or use a heavy weight stabilizer to keep it stiff for mailing.

I have absolutely no artistic talent, but I think an abstract design might work here. I'm game to try at least! (";)

Abstract is perfectly A OK for this swap.
