Everyone seen the Ilford 'Postcard' paper you can buy? It's regular RC paper with postcard (stamp goes here, etc!) markings on the back.<br><br>I actually use the stuff for thank-you cards and even a birthday invitation to my son's 1st birthday! I've sent a few as postcards but they weren't linked to one of the lists.<br><br>There's a few 'postcard lists' on the 'net where you your supposed to print a pic on the postcard stock (you could use normal paper as well) and send to other participants whom hopefully send you one back. I'm not a fan of publicly displaying your address on a WWW page, so I was thinking if this was thought a worthwhile endevour, our hosts could whip something up where you need to be logged in to the site to view the list of participants, or I could maintain it off-site. The Traveling Portfolio is getting underway and the prints that will be submitted will be marvelous, and there's been talk of 'print swaps' (which might be happening as I type!) but I was wondering if anyone wants to start a Postcard List style of exchange. Might be a simple and easy way of getting started and comfortable with sending stuff to a group of unknown people
I'm going to print half a dozen or so and offer them to whoever wants one to kick start this... e-mail me an address and I'll send you one!
Any thoughts?

If I had a postcard -
I used my last postcard-printed paper (Tetenal) for a Chrismas card 4 years ago - and covered it with a polariod transfer!


Here's the version I mailed to friends:

I like it. Maybe Sean can use the Travelling Portfolio pages as templates and we can create another secure page for addresses and info on a postcard exchange.

Ok Nige, you're in charge of this one. Compile a list and we'll get it posted

You can take my address and probably most of the others who have spoken up thus far from the Portfolio mailing list.
