Post Due Postcard Collective

We've recently developed a great love for the postcard -- the perfect template for a short note, a "thinking of you" moment, a memento from a far off place. Less commitment then a letter (no return address involved), and sans envelope, and only 26 cents to boot, postcards offer a creative template for brief expressions.

We were excited to discover Post Due, a postcard swap project that describes itself as follows:

".post due. is a collective of people that create unique, handmade postcards each month. The idea is to connect with at least one person from around the world through your own expression of art.Every couple months an email is sent to you with the address of someone from the collective that you send your postcard to. The postcards are anything from newspaper clipping collages, quick oil or watercolor paintings, sketches with a pen, photography ... pretty much anything the post office will accept as deliverable mail."

Postcards are scanned and displayed in an online gallery on the site. So far there are 351 postcards and counting, coming from all over the world. Visit the Post Due website for more info on how to sign up and submit your postcards to their collection.
