Rain! Due September 25, 2026

@Sunny your lovely cards arrived! Thanks for the host card and the nice Japanese ephemera. Hiroshige is one of the Ukiyo-e masters for a reason, and that is such a stunning print!

We are about 20 days out!

Lots of lightening here last night. Glad to have Amagakure - A shelter from the rain/ Hiding from rain
 
Here are my cards for this swap. I'll be mailing them tomorrow.

"View From Inside the Barn"
"Rainy Day Women"
"David"
"Big Rain in the City"

Rain

My examples will be in the next post.

This is all about the delight all the way to terror of rain, that magnificent water of the sky. Three to six cards depicting some form of rain, anywhere from the first few drops to a total downpour.

If you have questions or need clarifications, please ask. Also, do post your cards in the swap and chatting in the swap is good to me.

EXTRA WHIMSY: This one is for the lurkers too! I have a book, Water of the Sky: A Dictionary of 2,000 Japanese Rain Words that I will post a different word from. I'd say at least weekly, though probably more than that in the early part of the swap. You can also see Miya Ando's artwork that accompanied the book.

Swap Requirements ~
1. Each card must feature rain in some capacity.
2. All cards should be standard 3.5” x 2.5”
3. This swap is 3 for 3/ 6 for 6. An extra card for the host is lovely and I genuinely appreciate it, but is completely optional. Sometimes I only have 3 ideas for a swap, so don't feel bad if you don't include a host card.

Other stuff:

As a host, I tend towards very loosely swapping like for like. (collage for collage/ hand drawn for hand drawn- but I don't fully hold to this. Sometimes I'm more drawn to trading cards that have similar themes to each other.)

Mailing Information ~
* Include username, real name, your state/country and the swap name on the back of all cards - and put username and swap name on all envelopes sent.
* US Participants – Please include a clearly written mailing label and stamp. This is what I prefer. If you send a SASE I'll use it, but not my first choice.
* International Participants - Please send a mailing label and I will cover postage. Again, you also don't need to send me a return envelope, but if you do I'll use it.
*Late cards past a day or so will be returned.

*Feedback/Reputation:
When you receive your returns, please leave Feedback for me as the host. I'll leave you Feedback when I receive your cards.
Use Reputation to thank the artists who's cards you received. Also, in the reputation, naming which card you received is nice, since some people like to know where their artworks end up. Reputation is visible and will show underneath posts.
