Hi terry I don’t know about android but if you are using browser (in my case Safari) you go to iuoma < group page then should be able to see the picture mark on the 2nd from the left like mountain and sun in a little square. You tap on it and then it should open something to upload the picture.

Sorry it is hard for me to explain. Good luck.

I am slow but I would like to exchange with anyone.
I currently do drawings and collages.

and I also send some Trashpo. (Wrapping paper for sweets and food, etc.)

I am sending from Japan.

Nice to meet you.

Comment by Tomoe N on January 26, 2024 at 4:38am: Question

Is original mean something paint/draw/collage on paper or postcard itself for example?
Can I print my drawings which I tend to do so that I can send the same drawings to many people. Or do you imply “no add and pass” “no add and return”?
I assume it’s similar concept as the “handmade postcard” group.

I just want to clearify. Thank you.

Tomoe
