unfinished & imperfect postcard exchange (1:1)

[J S]

Hi everyone,

I’ve ended up with a small collection of unusual or unfinished postcards--things that feel experimental, incomplete, or that just didn’t quite work (flubs included). A few came out of group settings where people were simply making things together.

Rather than discard them--and partly to clear out a small accumulated pile--I thought I’d see if anyone would be interested in a simple 1:1 exchange with me.

The idea:

• You send me a postcard or card (handmade or not--anything you’d like).
• I send you one of these in return (mine will likely be handmade).
• No expectations--just passing things along.
• I may add a short note or haiku on the back--feel free to do the same (or not).
• You’re welcome to send something nice--but no guarantees what you’ll get in return. 🙂
• All kinds of imperfect, unpolished, or experimental work are welcome.

A small note: I prefer not sharing these online--to keep it a space where people can send things more freely.

If you’re interested, please message me.

JS
