If I move your swap topic you posted in #postcard-mail:mailart-handmade-stationery, I might remember to put an information in the directory. But all other moderators won’t, guess. At least I cannot promise.
So the best way to make your swaps visible to those who follow #postcard-mail:mailart-handmade-stationery is to post them in the “correct” place straight away and advertise them here.
If you want to be informed about new posts in this topic in order not to miss any new #handmade or #mailart swaps, you will be informed about new posts by the forum system if you put the topic on “watching” or “tracking” instead of “normal”. You can find these settings at the bottom of each topic.
I have already shown several of my homemade postcards. I would like to exchange this kind of postcards or others, or even buy them if that is possible on the forum. I am a bit lost in this community without knowing the right way to achieve my goals. I am new here though I am a 7 years postcrosser. Regards, Francisco Lima.
I’ve only recently joined and I’m trying to read as much of the forum as I can in between sending cards. I have made my own Mailart for sometime now, mostly envelopes, however I am looking to make postcards in a similar style.
Could you please let me know if you would be happy to receive a postcard like this? I ask because I’ve read numerous times that people aren’t keen on receiving homemade cards and I don’t want to send them out if it’s not the correct thing to do.
I usually send commercially made cards, but if a Postcrosser profile indicates they like handmade art, then I look to see if I have any handmade cards that ALSO fit their taste and interest. For example someone who likes handmade and likes ocean themes might really love the first of your cards, but might not be open to seeing the blood and gore of the second card. Someone who loves handmade cards and reading murder mysteries might adore the third card, but not someone who loves kawaii (ultra-cute, innocent). Sometimes I don’t find a fit so I would send a commercial card which matches their interests and style rather than a handmade card that might put them off.
After all, you spend real time and care making a handmade card - better to send it to a good home where someone will really cherish it.
