Thanks to @ Frogglin for letting me swipe the swap.

THERE ARE FOUR STEPS INVOLVED FOR THIS SWAP

For this swap, hit your local discount store for some postcard sized canvases. You can usually get them in a pack of 3 for a couple of dollars. If you can't find them, cut some nice thick card to use. Make sure it's a good solid sort of cardboard because we're not going to be at ALL nice to it. Nope.

You're going to have 2 partners, just because. Now. Take your canvases and paint something on them.

"Oh noes I can't paint very well!"

That's okay. Step ONE Paint badly, paint well, paint abstract, use collage, colour in with crayons - use your happy medium. Let your work dry.

Here comes step TWO - leave your art outside. Hang them in a tree, dangle them out your window, leave them on the roof, tape them to the side of your car (okay maybe not that last one). Let the sun, wind and rain play around with your creation.

Step THREE, at the end of a week, bring your art in, let it dry if it needs to, then write the addresses on the back of the actual art itself and mail them naked to your partners.

You're going to have 2 partners, just because. Now. Take your canvases and paint something on them.

"Oh noes I can't paint very well!"

That's okay, neither can I. Paint badly, paint well, paint abstract, use collage, colour in with crayons - use your happy medium. Let your work dry.

Requirements for the art bit

Your art skills do not need to be amazing. This is open to all levels of artishness. You can use acrylic paint, coloured pencils, collage, crayons or whatever you want to use. Do what's most comfortable for you. Art should not include nudity, just because some people get all sad in the face about that. Other than that, do whatever floats your particular boat.

Step FOUR, please write a chatty little note on the back of your canvas that you are sending "naked". Not just hello, I live on the North Pole, don't let the polar bears bite you.

Think about why you are on the bot and tell your partners. Why did this swap appeal to you? Something that you want to share about your creative side.

SENDERS CHOICE therefore you can start right now. Requirements to join

NO no sends in the past 3 months that can't be explained. I will PM you if I have a concern. At least 2 mailed "type three" swaps (not email or flat mail). I personally count ATCs as a type three, so if you have "flat mail" for ATCs, don't worry, hop on board.

Newbies please contact me and must have a full and varied crafting type profile. I am talking about the kind that tells us what you like to craft, your style, your art sense, not just your favorite movies, kid or pet info.

I agree with the following statement from @Frogglin .. I can angel this swap, HOWEVER if you do flake you will be banned from all my swaps forever more. And duly noted wherever I may roam.
