Hello all! I love working with matchbox shrines and thought it would be cool to work with a smaller shrine! It's about time for another bottle cap shrine too!

For this swap we'll be makin' three bottle cap shrines. The bottle caps being used will be the kind that come from a beer/pop bottle. You will have 3 partners, so you'll send one bottle cap shrine to each person, makin' that 3 shrines total. The shrines do not have to be religious, but they can be. It's all up for interpretation. :)

Pesky Details:

  1. Participated and been rated in 5 other swaps.
  2. If you have a rating less than 4.8 please don't join.
  3. Sorry but no newbies, you must have a rating that meets the above requirement to join. Anyone with more than two No Sends will be banned.
  4. I'm sorry, but I will not be able to fill in for swappers that didn't send their swap out, but I tried to take care of that with the above restrictions.
  5. Not interested in sending? Please don't sign up!
  6. I will ban any dodgy swappers!! If threads have been posted about swappers, or you know of someone that needs to be looked at more closely, please let me know. I ban after the sign-up date.
  7. US & Canada only.

Please send a nice bottle cap shrine, one that you would want to receive. Let's place a smile on your partner's face.

Cheers! =D

hmmm...this sounds interesting...do you have a link with more info? is this a beer bottle cap or a plastic soda bottle cap? does the decoration go horizontally or vertically within the bottle cap?

RudeNun 06/24/2007 #

Here are some links:

The bottle caps are the ones that come from a beer bottle. blissful_mama, thanks for pointing that out!

RudeNun 06/24/2007 #

does the decoration go horizontally or vertically within the bottle cap?

I'm not sure I understand the question..more specs?

blissfulmama 06/24/2007 #

well, the first link you gave answered my question. thanks. I was wondering if the objects would stand vertically in the bottle cap or lay horizontally. From the pics, it looks like they lay horizontally? or could that be open to interpretation?

RudeNun 06/24/2007 #

Completely open to interpretation :)

Vertically or horizontally which ever you'd like.

classychica 06/24/2007 #

I think we should have a bottle cap shrine party .....

RudeNun 06/24/2007 #

lol! I have way too many craft supplies to cart over to your house mujer.

SacredYoli 06/25/2007 #

hehe, you said, "Dodgy"

RudeNun 06/25/2007 #

I also said "completely open" :o

ay cochina! I'm trying to be proper and civilized! Y alli vienes! lol!

citizenblue 06/27/2007 #

any project that gives me an excuse to drink beer is a-ok by me!!

RudeNun 06/27/2007 #

LOL!! Guinness is the best.

RudeNun 06/27/2007 #

Hmmm, but then you have Hefeweizen right off the tap..ay dios mio!!

BadKitty 06/28/2007 #

I don't know how to make these bottle caps, can anyone help? How do I make the plastic over the image?

RudeNun 06/28/2007 #

The plastic over the image is usually resin. It can be purchased at Michaels craft stores. That's not required for this swap. It's all up for interpretation. As long as it's a shrine, it counts.

If you go to this shrine swap & look @ the photos you can get an idea of what a shrine is. They're all different.

I don't know what's going on with the links above, but here are ones that work..or should I say 'should' :P

Goldie Garcia's bottle cap art can be seen here: http://www.goldiegarcia.com/ I own one of her bottle cap magnets and they're really cool! She uses resin, but we don't have to. It can be used tho'.

Hope that helps! RudeNun

classychica 07/ 1/2007 #

i dont think my skills are good enough for this swap :o(i think i need more practice ....

RudeNun 07/ 7/2007 #

It's not about skills mujer, it's about creatin', inspiracion, about putting your essence into your pieces. You have it mujer, you have it..

classychica 07/ 8/2007 #
