Inspired by the clear packing tape postcards in "All About Collage" by Todd Oldham.

Let’s swap see-through PCs for fun!

*Sender's choice of "theme" or subject and contents, since we'll all have different items on-hand. Just use what you have!

*Simply try to make a fun postcard that you can see-through!

*There's no worry for leaving a long message on these PCs! It's just about the fun of making something different from the "norm" to send via snail-mail to our partner!

I made my last one by laminating confetti in the clear plastic photo pockets available from office supply stores. You know, the kind used to laminate pictures with?! But, a sturdy card could also be fashioned by sandwiching some pretty double-sided papers between layers of clear packing tape. Or, another idea is to use an upcycled piece of clear acrylic carton (like the sort that baked goods from the supermarket often come in)! I've cut these up to make ATC's in the past, and the plastic takes alcohol based inks quite well! You can try drawing with alcohol markers or drip-dropping ink straight from the bottle! As some clever gal once pointed out, a PC is just a big ATC, so the clear plastic can be cut to a postcard size for just as much crafting fun, right!

*A fourth option just occurred to me: anyone remember the clear transparency sheets teachers would use on overhead projectors? Those could maybe work here too!

  • ONE Sturdy PC w/adequate postage affixed
  • PC Size Minimum is 4x6” (10.16x15.24cm) and Maximum is 5x7” (12.7x17.78cm)
  • ONE Partner
  • Sent Naked (clear sleeves allowed, if necessary)
  • Remember to include your user ID & swap title to expedite rating.

      NOTE: This swap will be deleted after 72 hours w/o interest/watchers.

As always, I can/will change dates for participants who need more time to finish up other swaps before signing up. Also, if artists need a bit more time to complete your artworks!

Communication is key!

Message me anytime you're interested in joining a swap, but hesitate due to some reason I can control/help with! 😉
