Description:

I love collage but I'm always running out of images. For this swap please send your partner 25-30 cut out images, can be from magazines, printed off the computer, anywhere, just make sure they are in good taste (no blood, gore, nudity). Try and include different sizes, not just all really small one. Make sure to put all different themes in the envie too, make sure there's a good variety. The images should be trimmed and ready to use. If you have any special requests, you can include them in the comments, but realize that you may not get specific images you are looking for. Please write on the envelope Collage Images Swap and if you have not received your images by two weeks after the swap should have been sent out, please contact your swap partner before rating them negatively. I have had 3 packages go missing already this year! Anyone with 2 or more no-sends will be banned, but newbies are welcome. This should be a cheap,easy and fun swap.

Oh my goodness, I was seriously just thinking last night that I wanted to do a swap like this. How perfect. :-)

Is this International?

jewels1 02/14/2007 #

Are you talking about images cut from magazines, or purchased images, or digital images printed from the computer or what?

user5860 02/15/2007 #

yay! can we include bits of lace/ribbon/glitter etc. in our packages?

shopinc 02/16/2007 #

Same question: is this international?

groovyholly 02/17/2007 #

Why yes, of course, it's international. I like to include everyone, but I will change the description. You can include images cut from magazines, ones you printed off the computer, cut outs from junk mail, wherever you get your images from. As long as they can be used in collage and are in good taste (no blood, nudity, gore, that sort of thing) then you can send them. Extra goodies are always a welcome treat. Thanks for your questions.

This sounds fun and easy. Thanks for setting it up!

Susi 02/23/2007 #

I have been cutting up magazines for weeks now, and have a great collection of pictures! This should be easy... susi

user2641 02/27/2007 #

This sounds great! I am always looking for new images to play with! I especially like retro/vintage images, but no fussy at all...

user6651 03/ 1/2007 #

OHHHH, I'm a huge collage junkie. I have years worth of cut-outs and papers that I collect. I'm so excited and would love to send someone some images that I haven't been able to put to good use yet.

I like vintage illustrations, old photographs, images of old men, young children (for my narrative collages I work on), book pages, etc. But I'm also fine with more contemporary cut-outs as well. I just don't want images of "lipstick ads" or anything like that.

I also love patterns and textures.

Thanks!

ladydy5 03/ 1/2007 #

Old Photos, printed messages like poems, vintage dress, houses, animals, just about anything to collage. Thanks

rhodyart 03/ 2/2007 #

looking for vintage images, used stamps, WORDS, quotes, old book pages especially foreign

maepress77 03/ 3/2007 #

I'm not terribly picky- I'd just like to recieve unusualy things that I couldn't neccessarily find myself. Local stuff, or just plain weird. I love vintage too! Thanks!

Snowflake, I sent yours off this morning :) Coming from Canada, I'm not sure how long it takes??? Hopefully not too long, lol, I'm not really patient with the mail system!

gooddog56 03/ 3/2007 #

Robayre, the envelope is in the mail! You should get it by Tuesday or Wednesday. Hope you like the things I sent....

sojourner 03/ 4/2007 #

Jeanne3k your envelope is winging it's way from far away over the ocean.

Prpldy 03/ 5/2007 #

Artistic: I sent out your package today. Enjoy! BrendaLea

sojourner 03/ 5/2007 #

I enjoyed collecting for this one , hope there is another one soon

gooddog56 03/ 6/2007 #

Jeanne R--thank so much!! The collage images/fibers came today--lots of great stuff! Thank you!

Artistic 03/ 7/2007 #

Whoo hoo! Thanks for letting me know, Prpldy/BrendaLea. I'll be on the lookout!

paperholic 03/ 9/2007 #

I don't mind what sort of images I get, but unusual, women (or even unusual women!), old maps, weird - anything but cute.

And I'm not sure what is meant by "cut out" - does that mean you cut right round the image?

Artistic 03/ 9/2007 #

BrendaLea: Thanks so much. I got the package today! My favorites are the vases, flowers, the geometrics and I love that girl power one, it'll make a great card.

I don't have many quotes in my collection. I also like foreign stamps. I can't use disney or animation - I have tons of that already.

akacreativity 03/12/2007 #

Collage Images are on their way today to pixy613. Let me know when they get there..Enjoy!

ladydy5 03/24/2007 #

Hate to look a gift horse in the mouth but I was disappointed in the clippings I got. Most were the same idea and too large to do any small collages with and I wish she would have checked an what I prefer as a hint. But than ks anyway.

FarStarr 03/24/2007 #

Hi Ladydy5...just a suggestion..why don't you put some info in your profile? I know I always check profiles because sometimes people don't put any info here on the swaps. Have a great day!

maepress77 03/25/2007 #

hi stuffbysteph, I'm so glad you got the package, and liked it! This was my first swap so I was a little nervous!

ellawitch 03/25/2007 #

good idea farstarr. i think it is always easier sending stuff someone might like when they actually fill out there profile. it doesn't take very long but it insures you won't be as disppointed.

deedeenet 03/26/2007 #

Hey Groovyholly, I got the best stuff today from CESKE and it came all the way from New Zealand. I got a hand made envelope (a sewn portfolio size one) loaded with great stuff.

Hey, if any of you guys ever get CESKE for a swap, boy are you in for a treat!

ceske 03/26/2007 #

Deborah, you are way too kind! and very funny in your messages aswell. Glad you liked it so much.

sojourner 03/28/2007 #

Taylor, your packet arrived today. YAY! Great collection .

user6421 03/29/2007 #

Woops! Forgot to put this in yesterday's mail. It went out this morning

maepress77 03/29/2007 #

Lucky me, I got robayre as a partner! The package came today, full of very interesting and inspiring images! Thank you so much!!

FarStarr 03/31/2007 #

deedeenet 04/ 2/2007 #

FarStarr 04/ 6/2007 #

Pixy613....Did you get your stuff from me?

ladydy5 04/ 9/2007 #

Thanks to both Farrstar and Ellawitch for the suggestion. Guess I just forgot to do that. I will from now on tho. Our coordinator came through for me also, An "Amazing woman" she is. Thanks

Artistic 04/ 9/2007 #

Artistic 04/ 9/2007 #

Never mind. I figured it out -- had another window open on top of it! :)
