Description: | |
A Round Robin Art Journal swap works like this: You think of a topic that is near and dear to your heart, say "Dreams of Chocolate!" Next, buy/create a journal 5X7 or bigger. Decorate the cover to match your theme. The first page of your journal should introduce yourself and the journal's purpose, for instance: "I love chocolate in all it's forms. What is YOUR fave chocolate and give me a recipe to try." Then, you make the first entry in your journal as an example of what you hope to see from your partners. After partners are assigned, make a list of your Send To partners on a sheet of paper. Tuck it into the front of your journal. Mail it to the first person on the list. The first person will make their entry and mail to the second person on the list, and so on. The last person on the list is to mail the journal back to the creator. Each entry should be 2-4 pages long, some writing, some art, and in the above example - include a recipe. If you choose to do something like a water color painting or embellish with beads that the paper won't support, please do your art on heavy paper and adhere it in the journal. Make sense? Once you receive a journal, you have one week to make your entry and send. I know that doesn't sound like a lot of time, but it has to be this way or we will never get our journals back! The best part is: YOU GET YOUR JOURNAL BACK!!! I've done this type of swap before and absolutely loved reading and seeing how people responded to my journal! This is a HUGE commitment and only dedicated swappers will be allowed to participate in this swap. It will be limited to 5 people (including myself). I know a lot of you expressed interest in doing a round robin, so this should be a really great swap! Here is what you need to do to join this swap.
Rules: ...1 Send on time...after partners are assigned, I will start a thread to follow the journals. When it is time to send to the next person, I will PM everyone as well as send an e-mail. I can't emphasize enough how important it is to keep them moving so that no one gets bogged down with 2 or 3 journals at one time. ...2. If you flake, you will not like me. ...3. Please rate. This swap takes time to complete. The only way you can rate anyone is when you receive your journal back. This swap is USA ONLY to help keep them moving. If anyone would like to host an international version, please do so. Now, who wants in? |
