Description:

Here is a swap for all you wanting to try your hand a matchbox shrine, but who are a bit uncertain you will do it "right". Matchbox shrine pros are welcome to join this as well, but just know that you may be getting someones first time try at this. I myself have never made one before.

You will have 1 partner for this and make this partner 1 matchbox shrine. You will be using the big 250 ct matchboxes, simply because I myself am not good at fiddling with the small ones. But feel free to copy the swap and do one for the small size, just please wait until this swap is over.

If you need inspiration as to how a matchbox shrine should/could look, please go to flickr and type matchbox shrine in the searchbox, you will have loads of pictures to look at.

Oh, and most importantly, please list some themes for your partner to choose from. List a minimum of 3 themes you would like your shrine in and a maximum of 5. When partners are assigned your partner will then choose 1 of these themes and make your shrine in that theme.

Newbies are welcome with a well filled out profile and at least one 5 rating. Also, and this goes for everyone, your rating average must be 4,9. I reserve the right to ban if someone looks fishy.

This is international, but the postage should not be too bad if you keep the items in the shrine lightweight.

Happy swapping.

I would love a matchbox shrine in either of these themes:

1: Athena

2: Poseidon

3: Owls

4: Unicorns (I prefer white ones)

5: Butterflys (I love white ones)

Dollar store has the 250-count matchboxes as well. Or you can check the hardware store, or the grocery store.

I'd love one of the following themes:

  1. Buddha

  2. Ganesha

  3. Quantum Physics

  4. Day of the Dead
