Description:

Check out these cool stamps celebrating the 50th anniversary of Star Trek! They make really great use of negative space.

In this swap, we will create a postcard to celebrate Star Trek using 1) collage and 2) negative space, with the new United States stamps as an inspiration. Please use a Star Trek stamp on your postcard if you can, or make a little faux stamp (doesn't have to be collaged, can be drawn on if you like!) in a Star Trek theme if you can't :) Any of the Star Trek series or movies are fair game!

Have fun, be open to intergalactic serendipity/ imperfection, and boldly go to that happy world of collage-sperimentation that we have all gone to before!!

Thank you @mgstgstll for the link to the "negative space" page showing artwork created with the idea using "negative space" as the artwork. I would join this swap but you haven't given a minimum rating for your swap.

I hope that you will consider joining another time. I look at ratings myself, rather than using a minimum rating, so it is a personal preference.

Live long and prosper, everyone!

Whippet - all members of this group have good ratings and are in good standing. No one is allowed into a swap who isn't awesome.

Angie 09/23/2016 #

I actually have advised hosts not to put minimum ratings for swaps in this group. Everyone in the group is an upstanding swapper. I know there are some groups that have swappers with bad ratings but not this group.

Okay. Let me see how many comments I can leave and try to delete just to have them not delete. Sorry about that.

Darling, you remain as aesthetically pleasing as the first day we met. I believe I am the most fortunate sentient in this sector of the galaxy.

rngstgstll 09/24/2016 #

In other words, you are not just another mere biological organism.

I've always thought that technology could solve almost any problem. It enhances the quality of our lives, lets us travel across the galaxy - even gave me my vision. But sometimes, you just have to turn it all off. Even the gypsy violins.

Just kidding, it's really just a personal preference thing, because my swaps are usually really small and I almost always know most of the participants :)

Thanks for the cool swap Tanya. I had fun working on it and some ST artistamps this weekend! Yay!

Ooh! Very exciting. I may roar, hurl heavy objects and claw at you yet. Or, alternatively I could read poetry and duck a lot. It is among Klingons that love poetry achieves its fullest flower ....
