Description:

I was working on a collage for my mom using Ephemera form her Big Ol' Box of Ephemera. She has been collecting things for collage, altered books and scrapbooks several years and has quite a large collection. Everything from old playing cards to CD cover inserts to keys from old apartments to words and pictures from old magazines. As I was working I was struck with an idea for a swap.

For this swap, you will send your partner an envelope full of Ephemera, enough to make 3-5 large ATCs (think 4in x 6in) or 1 large peice (8in x 10in). When you receive your envelope, save the address of the sendee because after you make your cards you will send the finished peices back to the person who sent your the Ephemera.

Because of the nature of this swap,You must have a filled out profile, so the artist knows what kinds of things you will like.

Also I will make the timeframe fairly long, like a month and a half, so that you can send a nice collection of stuff and so the artist also has plently of time to make something really creative and worth displaying.

So here's the Bottom Line:

Enough Ephemera to make 3-5 nice large ATC 4x6in or 1 really nice large peice at least 8x10in. You can send whatever you like, this is an open theme.

This is also an international swap, so keep in mind weight and postage. Try not to send like a whole box of skeleton keys to a person in Austraila. As cool as that can be, postage can be murder with something that heavy.

Newbies welcome, but must have a filled out profile

Because you will only have one partner: Ratings less than 4 must message me and tell me you will do better or you will be banned

More than 3 no sends will be banned, unless you message me and explain why you didn't send something.

Have fun with this.

I did not get a name of a partner to send to...

I have lots of questions:

Can your partner only use the ephemera you send, or can they contribute other items as they see fit?

Also, must they use everything you send?

Are we rating once we initially receive the ephemera?

Must the completed piece be postmarked back to the sender by 7-23?

Thank you...I look forward to your reply so I can get started on this!

Hello all...so my partner, inkybru, and I have decided that we are going to send an amount of ephemera that exceeds what will be needed to create the 3-5 4x6 or single 8x10 pieces, that way there are some goodies left to keep for the partner's future crafting needs. Please do so as well, if you see fit.

Thanks and happy swapping!

This is one of my favorite swaps....gathering ephemera and wondering what my partner will make of it is creating a great excitement to work with the pieces I receive. And, yes, I am sending more than enough ephemera to my partner so she can keep all the "left overs" to create with in the future. ")

inkybru - I mailed a fat package of various ephemera to you today. Look forward to seeing how you put it all together!

I sent my envelope to ArtIndulgence. I'm sorry it is not as full as the rest of yours, we just moved house, actually we moved a continental, and I had to live my enormous collection behind. I hope you will find enoughto crate an ATC and still have some for your self.

Alright...July 23rd will be here before I know it and I've got a mini-vacation planned between then & now...I need to get my partner's ephemera soon if I am going to be able to complete the swap by the deadline.
