Description:

This swap is for a Puzzle Collaboration, where each artist completes or alters two puzzle pieces each round, and sends them to their one partner. So this swap is a Multi Round (At least 6), and multi partner swap. This swap is for a 12 piece Collaboration puzzle, to be completed by different artists, two puzzle pieces to one partner, every other month/round, over the next year.

You will sign up every other month to participate, and Swap-bot will randomly assign you your partners for that round. You may get a send to or receive from partner more than once, as partners are randomly assigned by the bot.

To start the swap, I will send each participant a blank puzzle with 12 pieces, and on the backside of each puzzle, I will designate a Number. You will then alter the corresponding puzzle pieces for that round. For example, this month's puzzle pieces that we will alter and send to our partner will be puzzle piece Number 1 and piece Number 7.

Each round we will be altering two different puzzle pieces. So each month, every person will send and receive the same puzzle piece numbers, until the whole puzzle has been completed. In the end, we will all share in making this fun collaboration puzzle project where each of us have a completed puzzle to keep, created from the many different artists.

To help cover the cost of the puzzles and shipping them to each of you, you agree to send me $1.70 thru PayPal or Venmo, or you may send postage. Please let me know if you need my email to use for Paypal or Venmo. You can send me unused US postage stamps for payment of your puzzle, if you would prefer. I will send you one of the 12 piece Inovart puzzles, sold on Amazon. I will mail you your puzzle to start working on, after I have received your Payment. There is a longer time frame on this swap, so you have enough time to receive the puzzle before its due. Please include your user name, and given name, on your payment. I will not offer refunds or returns on puzzles.

Here are some examples of Altered Puzzles:

You may create your art on each puzzle piece in any medium you wish, in any theme you wish. You may choose to complete these all at one time, in small batches or small groups, without reading your partner's profile, or you may complete each piece each round after you read your partners profile, the choice is yours. You may include embellishments or have 3D elements, but please make sure anything being adhered is glued down well, and that whatever you're adding does not block any of the other pieces from connecting to that puzzle piece...all the puzzle pieces need to fit in the puzzle unobstructed. Please mail your puzzle piece inside a Decorated card/envelope.

Have fun!

Once you know you want to participate/sign up, you can send me payment and I'll get your puzzle out to you to start working on.

These are so much fun to create. I hope more people will sign up for this year's puzzle collaboration

I still have my puzzle that we worked on a few years ago!

Should non-US participants send you more for postage? $1.70 seems quite low for puzzle plus international postage.

wolfeagle 05/ 4/2022 #

Me too. I've enjoyed the past ones and am looking forward to this one also. I will double check with the post office. In the past, it's been thin enough that it still goes as a letter but I can double check this week.

I also love these! I have 2 from the past few years that I have hanging in my crafting studio. I can't wait to work on another one!

Prices have gone up. So, it looks like the puzzle will mail Internationally, but it will cost a little more. So, it is $2.60 for International players for regular mail. The cost goes up drastically for package prices, and I am not willing to ship these puzzles as packages. It just wouldn't make any sense for the cost.

@wolfeagle ? are these the same puzzles we did last time?

onthesnap22 05/16/2022 #

wolfeagle 05/20/2022 #

Yes, same brand...but a new package.

wolfeagle 05/20/2022 #

Anyone who missed but still wants to participate, just PM me for a private swap, and I can get the puzzle out to you.
