[killer b]

[ViolentPanda]

PM sent.

 

[8115]

I know what I'm doing

Just need to buy a pen for it.

 

[Me76]

I'm in. I am also completely unartistic so I apologise in advance for whoever gets mine.

*sends PM and adds buying blank postcards to shopping list*

that's what we all thought last time, but then it turned out everyone was ACE.

 

[Onket]

Everyone?!

 

[killer b]

even yours had a certain naive charm, onkers. x

[Clair De Lune]

blank postcards? erm...you can buy these?

 

[Greebo]

blank postcards? erm...you can buy these?

Yes. Sweet shops, newsagents, and some post offices sell them. Blank correspondance cards are roughly the same size but a bit floppier, or there are pads of watercolour etc paper in the appropriate size. Or just chop something down to postcard size.

 

[Clair De Lune]

cool, never seen them. I'm in

 

[Greebo]

BTW if all else fails, amazon and ebay sell packs of blank postcards.

 

[killer b]

bumpitty bump.

 

[trashpony]

I'm in

 

[killer b]

good stuff. up to 14 people already.

 

[butterfly child]

Could be fun. PM wending it's way..

 

[butterfly child]

i've no objection personally, but as they'll be going through the general post it might make it more likely not to be seized by the vice squad if we avoid sending genitals.

I suppose that rules out general BDSM type things too?

In that case, will stick to my somewhat childlike drawings of animals!

(my BDSM stuff would be childlike in appearance too, so nobody would be missing much!)

 

[killer b]

i dunno. i don't imagine the royal mail monitor these things in reality.

 

[Onket]

So far, the ones I'v e received have been displayed on my fridge. Not sure I'd want anythign I wouldn't want to do that with, with kids in the house.

I know everyone is different, n that, but............

 

[Me76]

I was lying in bed this morning thinking about what I will do. I reckon there will be more than one. Although what I see in my brain rarely translates to paper

<snip>what I see in my brain rarely translates to paper

I know what you mean. The one with the hammock was a third attempt on what I'd got in my head, and roadsign man got into it because of the difficulty with foreshortening, and misplacing the rubber.

 

[weepiper]

I have one ready to go, will do another this week probably, am happy to contribute any spares

Fair play, there's stuff I'd only ever send if the postcard was in an envelope (and easier to keep from those you'd prefer not to see it).

 

[Onket]

Putting it in an envelope defeats the purpose of it being a postcard, imo.

 

[Greebo]

I thought the point of it being a postcard with or without envelope) is that it's a set size, and it won't be mistaken for a bill or a bad news letter when it arrives.

Just got to over-spray mine with lacquer in case it gets rained on, and then it's ready to go.
