For this swap you will have two partners, and will send each partner one 32ct matchbox shrine, according to a theme. If you join, you must comment this page with 2 or 3 ideas for your partner to choose from.. Remember, matchbox shrine is like a small diorama, the stuff inside is glued down and decorated nicely, and the outside is decorated with the same theme. Decorate it nicely and make it shriney :]. 4.9+ only and newbies must be message me to join, otherwise i WILL weed you out. Have fun :]

Ooooooh, shrines!

Could you give more than a week, seeing as a) there are two partners and b) the craft is supposed to be themed to partner's choice, so we can't start work immediately? I love shrines and have only just discovered matchboxes, so would love this swap if I had a bit more time for it! :)

I agree with Masterbard, if there were at least a couple of weeks to create - especially around the Holidays, I'd be so there.

I third the ideas above!! Great swap idea.

LOVE matchbox shrines! (I fourth the idea- more time would be good for 2 partners)

I like the swap idea a lot and am working on my first matchbox shrine right now, however, I totally fifth the comment from Masterbard -- I really feel that is way too short of a time to make some very specific for two different people. I wouldn't want to join and either end up sending the shrines late (most likely) or poorly executed (I'd end up opting to be late than poorly made).

32 ct or 250?

revolutionoise 11/25/2009 #

revolutionoise 11/27/2009 #

My themes are.. -Space/glow in the dark shrine

-Tarot/spells/spiritual shrine

-Vintage shrine

I would love a shrine of any theme - but if my partner is stuck for an idea... tropical, spooky, classical music, voodoo, photography, Paris, birds. Hope this helps.

    @revolutionoise I have a few things I'm sending you in exchange for the deco books, but I'm waiting until partners are assigned for this swap to see if I have you as a partner
