Altered Book RR #1

The idea is for each participant to start their own art book, and send it on for others to create in. In the end, all books return to their original owners. This will be ongoing, and I'll open a new swap for this purpose every month. If you want to join: 1. Create your own book - it can be an altered book, a notebook, journal, scrapbook, boardbook - it's up to you. Design the covers, and anything else you want inside. You can choose your own theme for the book, too, but most importantly, include a page/cover with all your details, including your address, so the book can be returned to you.

1. Send the book to your current swap partner.

2. Once the swap partner receives the book, they'll have two weeks to create a page/ spread in it. If you received a book with a theme - stay within the theme. Don't forget to sign your name, country and e-mail. Once you're done, send the book to your partner again.

3. If you've received a book and after you do your spread in it, it's complete - send it back to its original owner.

4. Be fair. The idea is to create creative pages. Show what you can do. Create fun, interesting pages! If you haven't had time to do anything in the book, that's fine. Just send it on to the next partner. Don't keep it after the send date.

I'm sorry, but I will only be accepting either people with a 5 rating (or if you think you deserve a 5 but don't have one, you can mail me), or people who have an online site/blog/flickr showing that they've participated in this type of swap before.

The swap is international. I've created a Flickr group for this purpose, so we can all post photos of the books!

Does it make sense? Let's play then! :)
