C+P Cubomania Postcard

Mhhh probably stupid question but the postcard doesn't have to be made out of another postcard, right ? It can be any image that is postcard size ?

I can't believe I've never heard of this before. Sounds like fun, and I'm going to mark it WATCH for now 'cuz I'm on a borrowed laptop and I Do Not Like these keyboards~~!

As i understand it, The original picture can be larger so you would not then use each square.

Great idea for a swap, Steph! A variant on it which can be entertaining is to use a random-number generator to determine the order of the squares.

I'm planning on either finding a picture the appropriate size (I usually like 5x7 for postcards) or cutting the main focal point of a larger image (like a full magazine page) down to that size, then it'll get cut into squares and rearranged and glued to a heavyweight paper. Does that make sense? (I'm phone typing and ffeel your pain, Eepy)

Hey guys, I just got done with my first try at cubomania - made just like I described in my comment above:

(click on the pic to see it full-size)

It was fun! And it's pretty neat seeing what you can do with just an image (and some glue, a ruler and paper cutter, heh).

I like the concept expressed at wikipedia ...

Cubomania can "subvert the enslaving 'message' of advertising and to free images from repressive contexts."

Anyone cutting up political ads?

I love this! I too had never heard it. What an awesome idea for a swap. Political ads...love that idea too. :-)

Ok no not the buddah! Still looks cool though ... I think I'd have a hard time cutting an image I like into unidentifiable bits... I ESP love the one on your flickr with 6 squares though!

Thanks, Tera :) I've had the Buddha image for awhile - it was time for it to get used in something. This technique is a really good way to use up those larger images you just don't know what to do with.

This sounds like a mixed up mosaic... Fun! Thanks for hosting!

@Angie I did a political ad - but used the nice looking part of it... Then I decided my 1" squares were too big, so I made another one not using a political ad.

Hello folks, dropping in from ENG with a small story. I’d been losing steadily across a few sites and honestly thought I’d take a break. Then I remembered someone mentioning spinmama casino during a pub chat. Decided to try the slot they praised so much. First spins were rough, but the bonus round finally hit and stacked enough wins to cover the whole unlucky streak. Sometimes timing really does all the work.
