Stretch your creative ability! Draw 20 cats for your 1 partner! Size doesn't matter! (Be aware that your cats may become a collage element!) No worries if you don't feel 'artistic' enough to complete this. Just do it! (Rate a 5 if you receive drawings of 20 cats.) They should all be a bit different, but what you draw is up to you. Color them or not.... They're your cats! Have fun! (Newbies welcome with a well filled profile. No recent 1's or 3's.) Thank you!

I've seen the books '40 ways to draw a _____" which is what inspired this swap.

What do we draw these on? Just any type of paper?

ladydy5 03/18/2015 #

Can these 20 be a litter ;). On one sheet of paper or 20 sheets? I know you said up to us but clear that up just for me. Swappers can get pretty particular.

I will love if there will be a swap like this, only international, in the future (:

Great idea!!!

Margo 03/18/2015 #

i'm just going to use copy paper unless i paint them... the kitties should all be separated from each other... they can all be on one sheet if they fit :)

Margo 03/18/2015 #

i hope that helps:) And anyone is welcome to create an international swap... I just don't want to pay that postage.

Can you do a overseas one too pls. I would like to do this

Margo 03/18/2015 #

Feel free to create an international swap. I just don't want to participate in one, which I would have to do to make an overseas one. You can create one though:)

@Margo , is it acceptable if I use a mini zine format (a single sheet of paper folded into an 8 page booklet) for my 20 drawings?

Margo 03/22/2015 #

A mini zine is fine:) As long as it's hand drawn and not photo copied:)

picupurcross 03/22/2015 #

All of my cats in the zine are hand drawn but a zine is traditionally photocopied so the artist retains the original. So my partner would be receiving a copy of my zine. If I'm understanding you correctly, this would not be acceptable for this swap?

Margo 03/23/2015 #

The idea is really to stretch yourself as an artist... it's an exercise... I'm probably going to end up with 40 cats or something... they won't all be sent, but you have so many to draw, that you just do it without over thinking it... does that make sense?

picupurcross 03/23/2015 #

I understand the point of the drawing exercise which is why I was interested in participating. I love making zines and especially appreciate the ability to share my artwork with others while, at the same time, not giving it away completely. So, for the interest of the others signed up for this swap, I think I'll go ahead and pass on this one. But thank you so much for taking the time to responding to my question.

Margo 03/23/2015 #

Ah... I do get what you are saying... I'm sorry that I wasn't getting the essence... I'm overloaded on my own art and other peoples'...lol... but I understand the desire to keep some of it... or all of it;) I'm fine with it;)

picupurcross 03/23/2015 #

No worries! I just wouldn't want to disappoint anyone by sending the swap in a zine format. I love this concept though and hated to miss out on the opportunity to challenge myself! Thanks so much for the go ahead! 😄

FeltPrincess 03/27/2015 #

I'd like this as an international swap ...

Margo 03/30/2015 #

Is everyone doing well with this? Any questions? It's pretty simple... and no one should be expecting 20 art gallery type cats... lol...

Fantastic idea! I am currently at my Five Limit as a newbie, hope I can manage one more out the door today so that can squeeze in on the deadline for this one. Fingers crossed!

ImWenders 04/ 6/2015 #

My bad, I meant to say I hope I can have one more come in the door today. Meaning, I hope someone rates me for several that I have mailed out recently.
