Beautiful! Is the surface of the bear picture raised? (I mean not flat, what is the correct word?)

Hi Hankadl, Thank you! The bear is flat, it is paper on paper.

This one I made for COVID-19

Good day, your work is very beautiful. It’s just that I also tried to do a couple of works, but I’m afraid how they will survive the journey. How did you send them? How did they get there? Please share your experience💜

Wow! Your work is so nice. :blush: I’ll be happy to receive that Stitch postcard you made. :rofl:

I joined postcrossing on April 2021, and found quite a lot of profile that asked people not to send handmade postcards. Fair enough. On the other hand, there are others who mentioned that they don’t mind getting handmade postcards.
I guess it depends of whether handmade postcard is your cup of tea, or not.:coffee::tea:🧋

I also like to make upcycled postcards. I am not so good in drawing or anything artistic, but I found a lot of nice images (magazines, calenders, brochure, food packaging) that I wish it’s in a postcard, and I would love to receive postcards with such images.
And I appreciate those who has the talent to make nice drawings and art, and put that talent to make postcards.
So yes, handmade postcard is relevant, at least to me. :sunglasses:

There are a lot of people who appreciates handmade postcards with different techniques and materials, and even different themes. Please check the links already given by @LC-Canada . :+1:

There’s also a handmade RR, where you send your handmade postcards to a group of people who loves handmade postcards and will send their work to you. You and your handmade postcards will be very much welcomed there. :smiley:

Made a simple card with a dried leave (I know I can’t send it to certain countries)
