Urban Postcard Exchange - Summer 2014

[killer b]

Practically an institution now I guess. Your opportunity to receive something other than bills in the post, the urban postcard exchange, as detailed here, here and here. and now here returns for 2014. rules below!

• PM me your address (name optional, i'll give you an appropriate name if you don't want to)
• paint a postcard (or apply whatever artistic method to it you like, we aren't fussy)
• receive an address of a random urbanite from me
• send your postcard
• receive a lovely postcard from someone else
• post a pic of it here.

As ever, this relies on both the diligence of posters and the reliability of the royal mail (or national postal service of the country you're in) to work, both of which have let us down in the past... I won't be chasing anyone up, but will have some spares to send out to anyone who doesn't get one (if anyone want to do extras to help out with this, then please send them to me and I'll distribute).

Someone suggest a closing date?

 

[Greebo]

send by 7th July?

 

[killer b]

sounds reasonable. And PM me by midsummer if you want to be in.

 

[wiskey]

Me! I've sent two and have yet to get one back but I live in hope

[miss direct]

Oh yay, looking forward to this, also saw specific blank art postcards for water colours in my local art shop.

 

[killer b]

great. keep bumping the thread btw, make sure everyone sees it - it's more fun with lots of us.

 

[treefrog]

Ooh, ooh, memememe!

[ViolentPanda]

I'm in.

 

[killer b]

excellent. keep 'em coming people.

 

[Me76]

I'm in. I have sent four, had two reach destination and received one.

 

[Onket]

In.

Not 100% sure of my stats but I've still got one on my fridge from last time.

 

[killer b]

I've kept all of mine, although they aren't all on display. I may change that.

 

[Onket]

I moved house so I think one or two may have gone. Still got your bottle of beer, though.

[Me76]

I'm trying to decide whether to give my home address or work.

At work we are in a building with about 100 companies and part is sorted by the main reception girls.

At home post comes through our door but we have a massive pile of junk mail behind the door that a weeny post card could get lost in.

I have time to debate with myself before a decision needs to be made. Luckily.

 

[Manter]

Oooh, I'm in. I've sent one in the past and not got one back <<sob>>

 

[albionism]

I'm in

 

[foamy]

I'd like to be in again if I'm not still banned from failing to send the last one?!

 

[killer b]

what was your excuse?

 

[Red Cat]

I really like this idea but I am one of those kids that grew up thinking they were crap at 'art' (because I was, I can barely write tbf).

I think I'd like to have a go

 

[killer b]

have a go.

 

[Red Cat]

ok
