Description:

I saw the title of the "Something Orange this way comes" swap and thought of this one. It's actually a quote from MacBeth "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." But onto the actual swap...

Here's the deal. Everyone has different ideas of wickedness or evilness. I want you to make 1 ATC each for 3 different partners with the topic of evil or wickedness. It could be a person, or an idea, or an action; anything you find to be evil or wicked.

Something Wicked This Way Comes is also a fab story by Bradbury...from Wikipedia:

"Something Wicked This Way Comes is a 1962 novel by Ray Bradbury. It is about two thirteen-year-old boys, Jim Nightshade and William Halloway, who have a harrowing experience with a nightmarish carnival that comes to their Midwestern town one October. The carnival's leader is the mysterious "Mr. Dark" who bears a tattoo for each person who, lured by the offer to live out their secret fantasies, has become bound in service to the carnival. Mr. Dark's malevolent presence is countered by that of Will's father, Charles Halloway, who harbors his own secret desire to regain his youth."

the story by Ray Bradbury is one of my all time favorites, I love all of his books though. I may join this after I finish some of my other swaps.

I love the movie and story too...I can't wait to get started on these!!!

I am thinking along the lines of serial killers or something....

MerriAmelie 04/17/2007 #

my only question while signing up is how politically correct (or incorrect in my case!!) should we be?? some things everyone knows are bad (like the afore mentioned serial killers....) but then there are other touchy subjects! i just don't want to horribly offend anyone by accident! :)

I started this with the intent that everyone would take it with a grain of salt. What one person considers evil another might not. Some people think the president is evil for going to war, others think that he's a great man. It's all just a matter of opinion so please don't get offended by whatever it is you get.

Mine are all finished!!! I got on a creative streak today...I am really proud of how they came out...

GiddyUp, good for you, I agree that we need to be a little more relaxed about what offends. If artists are always censoring themselves, hoping not to offend, we will miss out on some really great stuff. If someone signs up and then is offended by other people's ideas, shame on them!

I want to apologize to my current swap partners that I am running a little late. My sister needed to come up immediately to start getting moved in. We've been working three days straight and I have had no time for anything else...even sleep! After work tomorrow, I am dedicating my late afternoon and evening to get caught up. I'm sorry! I hope the special packages I put together for you will make up for it!

Update: I want to apologize to my current swap partners that I am running late. My sister needed to come up immediately to start getting moved in. We've been working around the clock to prep part of the house and I have had no time for anything else...even sleep! I am trying my best to get caught up. I am not going to flake on anyone, but please please please be patient with me. I really am trying the best I can. I'm sorry! I hope the special packages I put together for you will make up for it!
