Trash PC

Collect TRASH from your car, a parking lot, your office trash baskets, the floor at the mall, wherever you can find it. Cover a postcard with the most interesting bits. Be sure to secure them well enough to survive the mail (although accidental damage through the post is part of the fun).

Make 3 postcards, and send one to each partner.

PLEASE USE GOOD JUDGMENT AND DON'T SEND ANYTHING WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY UNSAFE.

NO - scrapbooking embellishment doo-dads

NO - cigarette butts

NO - medical waste

NO - food, gum, or anything else sticky

There may be smudges, there may be rips and tears, there may be things that >gasp< other people have touched. If you are fastidious or squeamish, please consider that carefully before joining this swap.

This card will probably be gritty and in-your-face. It's TRASH. If you want to use things like paper punches and artful arranging to make your trash look good, alright. But please don't add anything that isn't trash or strictly necessary to secure the trash to the card. No bending the rules to slip in a pretty scrapbook embellishment doodad.

I will also be creating a "Pretty Trash PC" swap where there is a deliberate attempt to make the trash look pretty. Non-trash items still prohibited, but some art supplies like pencil and paint will be allowed. If you're interested, please consider signing up for both swaps and comparing the results.

This card is "senders choice". If you get a timely card with trash on it, please give that sender a "5" rating.
