The first altered board book swap I hosted had alot of participants, so let's do it again!! What's a board book? Well, you know...it's those chunky books for little kids with just a few pages. I find mine at the thrift store for less than $1. They're my favorite blank canvas since their heavy pages hold up so well to layers and embellishments. FUN STUFF: This is the perfect swap for those of you who have never tried altering a book, but want to try a new idea! Participants will alter a board book with a front cover, back cover and at least two pages in the middle...each page will be altered. The entire book should reflect some type of theme. This swap is sender's choice to one partner. Once you sign up you can start your project. Altered books can be a little time consuming, but you will have lots of time to create before the send deadline. NOT SO FUN STUFF: Please send something you would love to receive. This swap is open to every group member and we're all at different levels of experience, so please rate fairly. Your rating should reflect the basic rating rules...not whether you like it or not. Slapping a sticker on a page is not altering. If you need inspiration just google "altered board books" for some amazing pictures. Send your swap on time. |
