Collaborative Swaps: Small Deco #341674

Global

• You must have a reliable mail service and can generally expect international mail to arrive within 5 weeks.

A deco is sent around from artist to artist. Each person that receives the deco will decorate one page according to the theme of the booklet (if there is one) and put their contact information and name/username on their entry. Typically, each entrant in the “deco” must use one side of a page to express themselves. If a deco owner would like people to do a 2-page spread, please note it on your deco.

Size

• Not larger than 5" and no smaller than 2"

• Keep the embellishments slim so participants can use regular lettermail postage.

• Lettermail thickness. If thicker check with your partner to see if they don't mind dealing with extra postage.

Number

• 1 deco booklet for one partner. You can send 2 but only 1 is required. (Check the comments below, some people want extras, some don't.)

Stage

• Any, but priority should be given to established, or homer decos.

Style

• Any style of small deco -- pamphlet, one-sheet origami-style deco, ICM deco, etc.

• Sender's choice, theme or open-theme

• Include your username on your entry.

New decos:

• The front and back covers are yours to decorate and add your information. Include the your mailing address and email on the cover so your zine can be returned to you when complete. Or include just your email address and a note to email you for your current mailing address when the booklet is full.

When you rate your partner's deco, please describe the deco you've received.
