Description:

For an example of what you'll be swapping, go to this website:

http://www.bcdezigns.com/BCtexturedletters.htm

Choose a letter of the alphabet -- any letter -- and decorate it. Use your favorite mediums or break out of the box and try mediums you have never used. Sharpies, fabric, yarn, newspaper, paint -- anything that will give your letter texture.

You can use any style of letter you would like -- the more open the letter is, the more space you'll have fun filling up with texture. If you aren't a calligrapher (as I am not), you may want to look for styles of letters on the internet and choose one that you like. If you do an image search on Google, you'll find quite a few styles to choose from. You could print out the style you want and enlarge it to fill a postcard.

Fine Details:

  1. Make 3 postcards. Each postcard should display only 1 letter of the alphabet. That letter should fill most of the postcard and should be decorated with textures. Make sure that whatever you attach to your postcard will be able to withstand the abuses of the postal system.

  2. Mail the 3 postcards to the three people you are assigned to by Swap-Bot. This is an international swap. Postage costs shouldn't be too high since we are only mailing postcards.

  3. Patiently await the arrival of your textured letter postcards. ;-)

  4. Leave feedback as soon as your postcard(s) arrive. (You don't have to wait any more. This is a new feature of swap-bot.)

  5. Have fun!
