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.

And here are my examples:
  • In the rain? Go underground!

  • Rain in the city lights

  • Perhaps we should go in Martha, I think the storm might start raging!

I’ve sat this evening and thought about my relationship with rain. The good and the bad. Jotted down my thoughts. I’m inspired to work on this tomorrow. I have the day off from work and it’s supposed to rain. 🤞 Rain gives me permission to be restful, sit and work on ATCs. Hmmm maybe that will be a card theme. 🌧️ Permission

After some really far too hot and dry months I'm so glad it's finally raining, it‘s important to people and nature. Climate is changing rapidly, Munich has turned off some fountains and limited the use of water, in whole Germany the groundwater-levels are low… Just now I love rain 😁🎉😍 and would like to join please, thank you for the inspiral topic!
 
Please add me! I remember playing in the rain and mud when I was a kid. I loved getting in the ocean while it rained and jumping puddles with my daughter when she was a toddler. All good memories. Then the thunderstorms in Florida, amazingly unsettling.
