Pass and Paste Round A

I love the Pass and Paste postcards. They are a really fun form of Mail Art. This is a USA and Canada swap.

In this swap, you will start a Pass and Paste PC, by dividing the PC in to 4 equal sections. You can send any shape or size, use wavy lines or straight lines to divide the sections, etc. It's up to you. Please use a sturdy material for the base. You then label each section 1-4, or A-D, and pick a section for you to create in. Create your section.

Next turn the PC over, and address the postcard to yourself. Also, divide the left side, in to 4 writing areas and label them the same as you did on the front 1-4, etc. This is where you, the artist, can leave a note, a quote, a drawing, your artist info, etc. If you completed section B on the front side...then you will write in section B on the backside.

Once you have completed your section, you mail the postcard, in an envelope, to your partner, by the send by date. In the next round, you will use the postcard you have received. You will create in one of the sections and then send that PC forward. If you like to work ahead, feel free to create on these as soon as you get them. Once you receive a postcard, and you are the last person to create on it (you fill the last space on the PC), then please mail it back, naked, to the original starter (name and mailing info should be on the card already).

You can jump in and start at any point, irregardless of what round it is, simply by starting a Pass and Paste postcard. If you receive an unfinished Pass and Paste PC, please always send it on, even if you decide not to particpate any longer. At the very least, send it back to the original starter or send it to me and I will forward it on. That way everyone should eventually get their postcard back.

You can create in any medium that you like but please make sure you adhere any items securely..as these will eventually be mailed naked.

Have fun.
