Description:

I created a zentangle rubber duckie ATC swap today and I and a few others thought that it would be fun to actually zentangle a real rubber duckie so hear it is.

Buy a Rubber Duck, I have heard that the Dollar Tree has some, then zentangle it to your hearts content. I think that Sharpies should work nicely, if you feel the need you could spray a clear coat on it.That's it!

1 duck to 1 partner, standard swap rules apply. Rating of a 4.5 or higher. Unrated swappers allowed. NO FLAKERS!

Have fun and don't send something you would not like to receive.

Haha I love this idea! I'm in! Watching for now but I will be joining this swap. How fun and I love rubber duckies and Zentangling!

Any rules on the size of the rubber duckie? There may be other sizes too, but the ones I've seen are 1 inch, 2 inches, or 5 inches high.

Faun00 03/31/2012 #

I am thinking the typical size you think of when you think rubber duckie, which would be about 5in, thank you for noticing that.

Hi again Faun00! Well, I have a 5 inch rubber duck that I've owned for quite some time (12ish years), so I always assumed that must be one of the standard sizes. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case! I'm having trouble finding a duck that is anywhere between 3.5 inches and about 9 inches in height. I even sent and email to squeakyducks.com (they sell 600+ different rubber ducks and related items) and got this response:

"Unfortunately, the 5" - 6" size is hard to come by. The Happy Duck is about 3.5" high and probably isn't what you're looking for. We do have a 9" high duck which is our Big Daddy duck, but that may be too large for your needs."

So, where are y'all finding your ducks? :)

PS - love how the guy who responded to me takes my "needs" for a rubber duck of a certain size so seriously. That sentence about the Big Daddy duck totally makes me chuckle.

Faun00 04/ 5/2012 #

That is funny. :) I am going to get mine today, I will measure it but any typical size should do, it just shouldn't be the mini ducks as that would not be fair to your partner. I am going to the Dollar Store(Dollar Tree) and if they don't have them then I will hit up Wal-Mart.

Okay so I went to the store today to find my rubber duck. I edited the picture on the swap page( Sorry it's sideways, that's my cellphone for you) I am holding the Duck in my hand to give you an idea of the size. I could not find one at the dollar store. I went to walmart and wouldn't you know I could only find one and it happened to be pink, so pink will have to do. Good news is it only cost 97 cents.

Also in looking at my duck there should be no problem in writing your name and username and whatever of the details you want to put on the bottom of your duck.

So I have a question. Do u all zentangle in black or color??

Shannoncollar 04/12/2012 #

I got mine yesterday at Walmart. It's colored and is partially decorated, should be fun making one up.

nativegan 04/12/2012 #

I hit pay dirt for Rubber Ducks at K-Mart of all places. In a variety of colors, too! Can't wait to do this swap!!

Faun00 04/13/2012 #

I did mine all in black,

Bought mine at Walmart... look in baby section. The brand name is "Infantino". They have several Colorado as well as some holiday dressed ducks. Paid 97¢ for 1 and I'm thinking of getting another to decorate and keep for myself.

I worked on mine last night, she's almost done... just need to add a finishing touch.
