Rec | DRAWING UR OWN CARDS/POSTCARDS

Rec

📬

hand-drawn cards are so endearing and make whatever ur saying that much more meaningful! the drawing doesnt have to be perfect or even that good. i treasure the stick-figure cards my 16yo brother who cant draw gives me on my bday. you can also buy a sketchpad of postcard size paper (around 4x6 inches iirc) and then make ur own postcards to send to friends whenever ur thinking of them! as long as its the right size usps will accept them, u just have to draw the lines on the back and add a stamp 👍
edit: omg also added bonus to this is being able to tailor art to the receiver's interests- this card is for my grandmother hence vintage looking flower pattern but u could make cards themed around shared interests or inside jokes or whtever u want

I always make cards for any occasion for the people in my household, past years I’ve stepped up my game and started making more complicated things like Victorian paper crafts and 3D pictures etc. It just feels more meaningful than something shop bought, and is always well received!

layla exactly!!!! and crafting is so fun too, so its like a fun activity and a heartfelt gift in one. trying to figure out how to get the paper to do what you want is a nice challenge. i love layering paper with rolled up tape behind it to get a 3d effect or making designs that pop up when you open the card!!

cinema clubs

went to a cinema club - this is what it's all about. community is real! even in the city! it's not all over. i watched natural enemies and boxing helena with my friend and ally charlie. the first was awesome, the second was less so - but arguably more fun. sherilyn fenn is not a star, she is something else entirely.

wikirace

wikirace is a browser game where you try to get from one randomly generated wikipedia article to another by clicking through links on wikipedia. im not great at it but its so fun and a great way to find new & interesting topics to read about! its nice finding articles about mundane things i probably wouldnt think about otherwise, like a hydroelectric dam in pakistan or the denmark national badminton team
