Well, with Halloween coming up, I've decided it might be cool to create a Ouija Board swap! Usually I create Ouijas on wood blanks, but lately I've been throwing out old games and noticing that I have these perfectly good game boards... just no pieces to go with them anymore :P This got me thinking, why not make Ouijas out of them!?!

  • You will have 1 partner

  • You will make 1 Board

  • US & Canada only

  • Newbies welcome with a full profile - please message me before signing up - this will be a rather time involved piece! All others must have a 4.5 Rating and NO No-Sends! I will check out all participants before assigning partners. If anyone fails to send theirs out, they will be forever banned from my swaps.

Take an old game board (or STURDY blank made from wood, cardboard etc) and prime it with gesso or primer and create away!

You can paint it, draw it, collage it... just make sure to put much work into it so that it is special! If you use any 3D embellishments... only use them on the outer edges so that a planchette can still be used :)

Varnish with a nice coat of varnish when you are done to protect your creation.

For a Planchette you can cut one out of thick cardboard and add little legs (just enough to raise it off the board) with felt bottoms so that it slides nicely on the board.

If you are not sure what to put on your Ouija, just google for ideas.... there are many styles of talking boards out there. You can use any kind of theme you want for this swap.

I want to get these to arrive before Halloween, just in case anyone would like to put them to good use ;)

This sounds soooo cool. I've never done anything like this, but there's a first time for everything, huh?!!

The Ouiji board was banned when we were kids. So of course, I am in!

I'm trying to persuade myself to join lol I'm fascinated by ouija boards, but some people in my house have had bad experiences and might be against it. hmmm....

Well, not to try and convince you... LOL.... but, a lot of Ouija stigma is Hollywood mixed with imagination :D I honestly believe that people who would attract ill intentioned spirits with a Ouija or any divination form would no doubt attract them with or without the board ;) Like all divination... it is an energy focusing tool :) But, many will argue with me on that.... just my two cents, for what it's worth. It's not like you have to use it... you could just keep it for the artwork as well :)
