I’ve been trying to ease back into crafting, so I thought I’d start with something simple, like making postcards. A friend showed me some collages she’d done on cardboard and other sturdy materials, so I thought it might be easy enough to cut up a few images and paste things together.
I’ve been sending store-bought postcards through Postcrossing, but it’s really up to you what you send. I thought having some pressure, like in a swap, would help, so I signed up for a handmade postcard swap on Swap-Bot. The theme was open, so that made it easier.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been feeling very well this week and got so little sleep last night. So maybe it wasn’t the best idea to start crafting in the midst of this. I slapped together two postcards, using clipped magazine images, summer-themed stickers, and a bit of glitter and glue, but I really don’t like them. I’m going to chalk it up to feeling so awful, but so it goes.
What do you think? They’re pretty simple, so it’s hard to say much about them, I suppose.
I think for now I’m going to go back to the store-bought postcards, but maybe I’ll try again on some handmade ones soon.
