Description:

This will be an International Swap

One partner

5 rounds total

Complete 2 pages for each round

WHAT ARE - LYRIX BOOKS? “Lyrix are very much like decos except that each page is decorated using lyrics from a song. Some are more plain with the words simply written in them, others are as artistic as decos with pictures and other ornamental adornments.” (http://en.wikipedia.org.)

Each partner will make one LYRIX BOOK with 12 pages and a front and back cover in a music theme (anything goes as long as it is not offensive). Be thoughtful of what material you use to make the book due to the costs of postage.

Please mark your back cover to read “Lyrix Book #1 (as I intend on doing a series of these books) and return information should be included on the back cover for the final partner.

Please complete the first two pages of your Lyrix Book and HAVE FUN with it! Some examples would be using lyrics from movies, musicals, plays, favorite bands, snippets of lyrics from a variety of songs, etc. The possibilities are endless. Dress up your pages if you want with embellishments, photos, or actual sheet music, or the booklets from CD's with the words. You may want to add a short note with the title and artist of the songs you used in the event your partner wants to know.

Please do not commit to this swap if you are not able to fulfill your obligation for ALL 5 ROUNDS. Newbies are welcome – with a well filled out profile. Newbies – please ask questions if you do not understand anything.

Please rate your partner for each round. A rating of 5 is appropriate if you receive a swap. If your swap is delayed, contact your partner and ME with a PM. Since this is an international swap, mail may take a bit longer. If this is a problem I may need to adjust the send by dates.

Once all partners have marked sent, I will post the next round. Start spreading the sound… Happy Swapping!

Do you have dimensions that you would prefer us to use for the making the book?

tatrchips 08/ 9/2014 #

I don't - but the ones I searched and found were like 5x7.... big enough to have fun - but small enough to mail. I started mine and took 8.5 x 11 watercolor paper and folded it in half - if that helps!

Perfect, that works great. Thanks!

What is the definition of a page for the purposes of this swap? Is it one side of the sheet as if counting pages in a reading book? Is it a spread like a scrapbook?

tatrchips 08/13/2014 #

It is a spread of two pages. I used the front and back cover so it should begin with the first two inside pages and even out I think :) with each partner/round having two pages to use.
