1 Partner Swap

Create some beautiful bookplates for your partner's library.

This is a Profile based swap so I am going to leave some extra time for crafting. Please note in the comments a few themes you would like your bookplates to incorporate, when you sign up. You will create your partner's bookplates using one of the themes listed, please look carefully to see if this is something you think you can do because once partners are assigned you could be getting anyone! If you do not list a preference in the comments or if you don't care what is on your bookplates you can write any and yours will become senders choice.

Create a set of 10 bookplates (they can all be the same design) for your partner to put inside their books. For ideas you can check THIS BLOG or I pinned some good examples here on my Swap-Bot Idea board.

Requirements:

  • Bookplates should be ornate and decorated in a style that will please your partner. It's fine to PM your partner to ask them what they would like.

  • They can be hand drawn, or digitally produced. You may produce one and then photo copy or reprint the rest.

  • Bookplates should contain your partner's name and the phrase Ex Libris (from the books of...)

  • The bookplates can be either a square or a rectangular, size should be: 3 x 3 if square and 3 x 5 if rectangular (these should read vertically)

Eligibility: There is a whole section on my profile about swaps I host, if you need more info please PM me or go there and check out my rules, they are about 3/4 of the way down under the robot.

  • No Newbies

  • Must not have any unexplained 1's or 3's

  • I screen every profile on the day I assign partners, and periodically throughout the signup period. If you have a question about a potential questionable swapper please PM me any time.

  • I reserve the right to ban any swapper from any swap I host for any reason (just like any other host).

Ratings:

  • Please rate your partners after receiving your package, there is nothing worse than thinking something you sent out has not arrived.

  • I require that all participants of my swaps rate using the official swap-bot rules

  • For this swap rate based on receiving 10 personalized ornate bookplates, sent on time

  • Name to use on my bookplates: Siobhan

  • Theme: Anything is fine for me, I would love something robotty (even if it's just gears or something mechanical), but I am not picky I will love whatever my partner makes.

I would like the name Katet on my bookplate and a cat would be perfect.....or a dragon....black and white or brown/sepia line art is my favorite but I'm open to anything...besides a huge non-fiction collection....(cause we all know the truth is stranger than---yadda...) I have JRR Tolkien, Harry Potter, S. King books I would us an Ex Libres in.....This will be a nice swap....
