Description:

I really love to see how people interpret themselves. In this swap you'll have to create one self portrait, in any way, shape or form you'd prefer. Make a postcard or notecard, a drawing, a sculpture made from macaroni, glue and spray paint (ok maybe not THAT), but present it in any way you'd like.

Some ideas I have are:

  • postcard
  • ATC
  • notecard
  • collage
  • painting
  • assemblage
  • scrap book page
  • illustrated poem
  • zine

You don't have to be an artist, or even be any "good" at art. Just be creative and show a bit of yourself through artwork and creativity!

You'll only have 1 partner (international). Nobody with a lower rating than 4.9. No unexplained 1s or 3s... if you're concerned about unfair ratings you have, drop me a line. I will be checking profiles and banning people if I must (but I don't want to, so play by the rules, please?), nobody wants to be flaked on! Newbies are welcome but ONLY with a well filled-out profile.


PLEASE NOTE: THIS SWAP CAN BE EITHER Type 2 OR Type 3... IT IS YOUR CHOICE. You can send a self portrait of ANY FORMAT to your partner. I think I've made that fairly clear at this point, but some people are having a hard time without stricter "rules" & "regulations". I really only wanted to start this swap so people could be inspired to create something (anything!) that is truly about themself. Creating a self portrait gets you to look at and inside yourself, and you'll usually end up learning something new. Just put some effort into it, and create something wonderful!
