Description:

This is going to be a 2 part swap. The second part will come in a separate swap after this swap is completed.


Part 1 - The Kit

Take to your stash and “shop” for the following items:

-- 1 quote - typed, nicely handwritten or cut out
-- 2 sticky things - washi tape samples, craft stickers, rub-ons
-- 3 authentic ephemeral items
-- 4 different patterned papers - 4”x4” minimum
-- 5 collage images from books/magazines
-- 1 wildcard item - textural element, die cut, stencil, fiber

That's 16 items total. If you'd like to send more/multiples, feel free. The catch is that all the items need to be unified by a theme - color, holiday, subject matter, etc. Theme is sender's choice. When gathering your items, keep in mind a finished project that is about 3"-6" in size.


The items that you send your partner will then be used in Part 2 to make a craft for their partner.


Some Clarification/Tips (added 7/8/16)

  • Thematically, the items in your kit do not need to be matchy-matchy. For example, if you want to put together a DOG themed kit, your patterned papers do not have to have dogs on them or literally say "DOG," they should just coordinate nicely overall with the theme and each other.

  • Likewise, your wildcard item doesn't need to be an EXACT representation of the theme, especially if what you choose to send as a wildcard item is more of a tool, such as a stencil.

Helpful, y/n? (゜-゜)

Clarifying Question! So, ephemeral counts any everyday object not really meant to be kept, right? ticket stubs, appointment reminders, business cards, take out menus- those things all count, correct?

Yes. All those things plus game pieces, tally sheets, lotto tickets, raffle tickets, postage stamps, beer bottle labels, fortune cookie fortunes, luggage tags...any paper stuffs not originally designed to be an art supply.

And I specified authentic because packaged Tim Holtz style reproduction stuff is no bueno. Original stuff only.

When-ish will you be hosting part 2 of this swap? I really want to join this but I don't want to end up not getting to join part 2. (although I suppose it's not the end of the world if I miss it.)

It'll probably go up first or second week of August.

weeeellll as long as partners are assigned before the very end of august I should be good. I'll risk it to play.
