Description:

As I walked through my local Home Depot, I stopped in the paint department. All the different colors draw me in, and I love the names. I found one today, Fireflies Glow, that lit a lightbulb in my head.

Your challenge (if you choose to accept it), venture to your nearest home improvement store's paint department. Find a paintchip that draws you in simply by color. Next, hopefully your color has a name (if not, no worries). Now, create something based on this paintchip. Don't be limited to paintchips with only one color, use the multi-color ones for more ideas. This is your interpretation. If you are a knitter, knit something in this color scheme. If you are a poet, write a poem based on it. If you paint, paint something. If you like to write, write a short story based on it. Be sure to include the paintchip with your art to your partner.

Because this will be a time-sensitive swap, everyone will have 1 partner and you will have two weeks to complete. This will be international, because I love international mail.

I am going to limit this swap to swappers with a 4.9 or higher rating, with no 1's or 3's in the last 6 months, and have completed at least 5 swaps.

Hey what a cool idea!!!!!

We have a question. Is it enough to creat an act with paint chips or do we need to include an additional artistic interpretation.

Be inspired. If you want to create it with the paintchip, then that is your interpretation. If you mutilate it, I would include a note.

Does an ATC quailfy as enough for this swap? If someone knits something - will they be offended to 'just' receive an ATC??

I want to leave this your interpretation. If you make an ATC, then please give a well thoughout interpretation to your partner. I personally knit, but would be thrilled with an ATC that is well done.

I would love to do this, it sounds like so much fun. But I am way to busy in the summer. I hope you will do it again in the winter when I'd have more time.

Have fun everyone!

Sorry I had to leave this swap, but Canada Post just went into full fledged strike mode. Sigh. :0(
