This swap is all about your favorite way to stay cool during the hot summertime. Whether it's your favorite cool drink or water sport, share it by making a card! There will be 2 partner per person and each partner should receive two cards (more for hearts!)&#13;
&#13;
Rules: &#13;
- Card must be 2" x 3.5"&#13;
- All media types and embellishments welcome as long as the theme is clearly visible. &#13;
- Beginners welcome (PM me with full profile) &#13;
- Others should be above a 2.5 rating (Not limited to U.S.A!)&#13;
- You are creating 4 cards (2 for each partner)&#13;
-Make sure you put your name, the name of the swap, the date the card was made and the city it was mad in on the back of the card! (part of the fun is seeing where they come from!&#13;

&#13;
Then I thought of swapbot and thought about everyone here that loves to quilt too.&#13;
&#13;
So I thought...why not combine the two?&#13;
&#13;
Who would like to make up a swag with me?&#13;
&#13;
Minimum squares 4, maximum squares? Up to you :)&#13;
&#13;
What's a swag? It's a group of patchwork (lie crazy patchwork) squares joined at the top corners to other squares with buttons to make like a banner.&#13;
&#13;
Who would like to join in?&#13;

&#13;
So this is my challenge to you: make at least 2 types of beads (out of anything) and try to make at least five of each type, and send them to one partner. If this goes well maybe we'll do this again, maybe with more than one partner to get a good mix of talent. I don't think anyone else was running a swap like this, but if they were, feel free to let me know and I'll credit them. &#13;
&#13;
The beads can be made out of any material you choose, but should be wearable, meaning that if you use a weird material like soap, it should be sealed in some way so it won't irritate skin or melt with perspiration. I've sealed paper beads with Modge Podge and also Golden Clear Tar Gel.  Oh, if you make traditional glass beads, that's cool too, these beads don't have to be wacky, just handmade. This is fun and experimental lets appreciate each other's work!&#13;
&#13;
So new swappers welcome with well filled out profile, rated swappers with 4.6 or above, zero no-sends in the past 3 months, and this is an international swap since shipping probably won't be too expensive.&#13;
&#13;
Oh, and beads have holes in them.....don't do something like send 10 stones without holes and call them beads, the only exception is if they have some other devise that would allow them to be attached to a chain or cord. Try to send something you would like to receive, make them lovely!</description><pubDate>Mon, 11 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Scrap Swap #4</title><link>http://www.swap-bot.com//swap/show/17920</link><guid>http://www.swap-bot.com//swap/show/17920</guid><description>EVERYONE WELCOME!&#13;
