Number of people in swap:16
Location:International
Type:Type 3: Package or craft
Rating requirement:4.50 (unrated swappers allowed)
Last day to signup/drop:July 13, 2013
Date items must be sent by:July 31, 2013
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

This is the second in the series but feel free to join in!

New Participant You will have to make a mini handmade journal with a minimum of 10 pages (max. size is 5x7) that will be sent to your partner. Make sure your name, username and address is on the last page so it will be returned to you when it is full.

This book is going to be used for MIXED MEDIA so please make sure that your book is made of a sturdy paper that can hold up to some beating.

Returning Participant: When you receive your mini-book from your partner you will be required to complete one (1) full page spread based on the prompt given. Don't forget to add your username, date and country to your layout somewhere. You will then hold on to the book until the next partner is assigned and send it to them.

When the book is full you will need to return the book back to it's original owner.

PROMPT: List, List, List! Your journal spread must include a list somewhere.

The time to send will be short because you should already have your journal spread done and be able to send off by the time partners are assigned.

I hope this makes sense, if not please feel free to ask any questions. This swap will require a higher rating (4.5 or higher) because I will not be able to angel due to the nature of the swap. However I will allow newbies for this first swap and see how it goes.

How will other people be accomodated? If established journals are being swapped, the new people would just add to our journals without making their own? Just curious. :)

Sorry, you can nix my comment above! I must have passed over the comment on new participants. Thanks for hosting this fun swap! :) -A

What is intended on the list page? Is it like an index of recievers/senders? Does one full page mean both sides of an open book page or just one leaf (side)? When we send on do we get more than 3 days to creAte our art masterpieces on the next fellows book page? Am full of questions sorry.

BobbiG 06/22/2013 #

I have edited the date to send by to July 31st due to requests from swappers!

@Star7Lily The list can be about anything. It is just to help get the juices flowing for an art journal page. On full spread means 2 pages side by side. Hope this helps

So is this going in the book we have just received? This will be our first piece of artwork? Sorry, I'm good at confusing myself!! Hahah xxx

BobbiG 06/27/2013 #

@xSammyWalshx no, this is for the next swap which you will receive a new book for. The book you just received you are supposed to include a magazine cut out in your spread. You will be sending the book you just received to the partner assigned to you for this swap.

xSammiWalshx 06/27/2013 #

Ahh okay, I think I get it. So the inspiration that was in the first swap is what we will be using to create the artwork, but it will go to the partner assigned to this swap and has this deadline. xxxx

I so want to do this swap but don't have the time to do a good job before cut off. I will look forward to signing up for the next one.

Partners may be a little late being assigned. I have a person that wants to drop out that has already done the first swap. Until I have heard back from all people involved I can't assign partners. Fingers crossed I hear back soon!

I got the same partner who sent me the book to begin with....the original owner. Perhaps I can swap with someone else....

ladydy5 07/16/2013 #

Love this ideas but traveling journals hardly ever get sent ack to original person, but I am going to try again. Nice idea too. Btw, you can use a 5 x7 or smaller bought journal, like from an art store?

amberlight 07/18/2013 #

Your comment makes me sad...I hope you have better luck with this group. I for one am counting on this group following through and being respectful of each others artwork.

For those concerned about your journal not getting back to you, perhaps on the last page with your return address you could add your email address with a request that the artist scan and email you a pic of their art so if your book gets lost, you at least get to see what was in it!

Sarah987 07/22/2013 #

Can I use a 5x7.7 journal ?

samsstuff 07/23/2013 #

I'm not sure I understand, I have received a journal that I am supposed to fill out, utilizing a list & send to my partner, but I am new to this swap & I need to make a journal of my own & send it to my partner, also? Or do I fill out the journal I received with the list prompt & wait until the next round to send it out & send out the journal I've made in this round?

kim91262 07/25/2013 #

@samsstuff if i have everything correct: if this is your first round, you will make a journal and send it off to your partner. on the journal you received this round, you should decorate it (with a list) and when you join the next round, that is the journal you send to your next partner.

amberlight 07/26/2013 #

Could the person who has drawn my name "Amberlight" as their partner for this round "Mini Handmade Art Journal #2, be so kind as to let me know when you mailed the journal, as to date, I have not received it. : )

user2637 07/31/2013 #

@amberlight I will pm you with info on how to find that person, but also remember the send date isn't until today so your partner may not have even mailed it yet.
