Ok, here goes!

We use fabric tote bags to go shopping with!

I thought, we could all get one of the canvas bags with no design on them (the craft stores sell them usually and if I remember correctly Wal mart does too in the crafting section) Then you take a potato and stamp a cute little design on it (you could cut a shape in the potato or use it as polka dots... here is a link and here is another one. So you can read about potato stamping and see what it is all about.

So to recap: you will have one (1)partner and make one(1) fabric bag for that partner. Colours are SENDERS CHOICE, but please don't use any your partner absolutely despises! The tote should be approximately 12"high and 13"wide . This is a nice size to take shopping (if you don't do your monthly grocery-buy) I say approximately, because I talked to Michels and they told me they could vary a bit (half an inch either way...)

Make something you would like to receive. Please put effort in it! :)

I will give 5 weeks for this swap, so you all can run out and get the bag and find the perfect potato in your stash!

I am making this a regional swap for postage reasons, but if you would like an international or a European one, go for it! Swapping is fun! :D

Please have a rating of 4.8 or higher to join!

Newbies, please have 2 snail mail swaps completed with rating.

I will not be able to angel this one, so if you would like to be an angel for this swap, please let me know!

REMEMBER KARMA!!! and send your swaps!!! I will ban any flakers from any of my future swaps and will post it with the flakers group!

Thank you

Krazychef 08/10/2009 #

oh also...you can get an image from the computer and tape it to your potato and trace around it to cut out

I guess you could! It can't be tooooo intricate though, I imagine that would be difficult to carve unless you are a master carver.... I will check the available sizes and add it to the swap...

I spoke to Michaels and they told me the totes can vary in size a wee bit (half an inch either way) but if you walk in and ask for a canvas tote bag 12X13 they should have it and direct you to it! :)

I am reading a book about cave paintings at the moment! I might experiment with that!!! Who wouldn't love a prehistoric bison on a tote bag???

LOL
