Description: | |
Faux Postage is "fake" postage stamps. They can be deliberately realistic, or obviously silly and fake. Make 5 fake postage stamps, attach one each to a postcard or envelope IN ADDITION TO SUFFICIENT LEGAL POSTAGE, and send one to each partner. You may choose to include additional stamps (used or unused), but only one is required to successfully complete the swap. There are many sites online with examples and techniques for making Faux Postage. Artistamps, Cinderellas, and Postoids are other names for the same thing. Google it if you need some inspiration. Some people make each stamp individually by hand, I prefer to make them in Photoshop so that I can easily print out bunches of them. It's up to you. |
