UPDATE 2/20/09: I extended the send date (several people, including me! wanted a little more time)

A themed swap with various things relating to an artist from your country. For your lucky partner you will find or make one item relating to your chosen artist from EACH of the following categories:

  • Paper: an ATC, postcard, stationery / folding card, bookmark
  • Handmade: matchbox, shrine, bottlecap, collage, pin cushion, bookmarks, dottee, drawing you made or purchased
  • Instruction: teach us about your artist by providing us with some written information, this can be either information you've researched online or a pamphlet/handout you picked up at a museum or elsewhere. This could also be a cd/dvd or other format.
  • Profile surprise that SOMEHOW relates back to the artist (it could be in the style of, food, etc.). This may be a S - T - R - E - T - C - H but I know you'll make it work!!!!

For example, I could choose Ansel Adams and use a picture of his to make an ATC for the paper category, then I could make a set of beautiful bookmarks with an image and quote of his for the handmade, write up some information based on research I did and make a little booklet for the instructional piece, and finally I may have a partner who loves to recycle and since Ansel Adams was a well known conservationist as well as photographer I could make or purchase a mors / tote bag for groceries as the profile surprise.

You'll have plenty of time to work on this so sign up! Let me know if you have any questions or ideas to make this swap better.

can anyone tell me how to make the list of the categories bullets instead of paragraph style?

On watchlist, as right now I'm not sure I will have the time...

I'll wait for a week to see the response, and may lengthen the date if everyone seems busy.

I have this on watchlist. If I can find something for the last category I will definetely sign up :o)

For the bullets, doesn't it work the same way as the syntax for the profile? If this is the case, using a dash - instead of a tilde ~ will make a bulletted list appear (hit return after each category).

Ceinwyn thanks! I hope you will join in the fun!

good! It's going to be so interesting to get to know artists from everywhere. It would be cool if we each posted a link or something about the artist we choose--after the swap is done so everyone is still surprised!
