Happy Birthday to Vincent Price!

Celebrated actor, author and gourmand Vincent Leonard Price Jr. was born May 27, 1911 near St. Louis, Missouri. This swap challenge will celebrate his life and legacy in a most creative way.

Create something...using Vincent as the inspiration. You can draw from your memories of watching Vincent in Television or Movies. You can draw from any of his published books on art or cooking. You can even take the theme of one of his films or television shows and go with it.

You have so much to work with here. He appeared in everything from the 10 Commandments to Fall of the House of Usher, not to mention his work in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., he even did voice work on an Alice Cooper album.

Wikipedia has a wealth of info on his life. Pick an aspect that speaks to you then create one of the following to send:

  • mini pocket letter in a VIncent Price related Theme
  • handmade postcard or greeting card in a related theme
  • curate a collection of lovely ephemera relating to Vincent Price a minimum of 5 pieces
  • purchased (vintage is fine) postcards, stationary or notecards relating to Vincent Price in some way - a minimum of 3 pieces
  • a collection of recipes in the tradition of a Vincent Price cookbook plan a dinner and create an artistic menu card and provide recipes
  • handmade art item relating to Vincent Price - this could be ATC's, a scarf, jewelry, a small canvas whatever your talent is

Remember the theme can be anything that relates to Vincent Price....Edward Scissorhands, Fall of the House of Usher, Hawthorne, Poe, Bobby "Boris" Pickett's "Monster Mash", The Fly, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Ravens, Alice Cooper...even The Brady Bunch!

Add to the package a notecard or letter giving your thoughts on Vincent Price and how your project relates to him. Include your one favorite thing about Vincent Price. Is it a book? A performance? The fact that he is Edward Scissorhands creator?

Participants with at least ONE completed TYPE 3 Swap.Newbies with an overwhelming love for Vincent Price can apply for an exception via message.

No unexplained low ratings, complete profiles requested.

I really must send an apology to all of you on the lateness of the assignments for the swap. It seems when I click on the option to assign on my phone it did not complete the assignments. I was called out of town unexpectedly for a family emergency and my phone reception has been spotty at best.
