Number of swap partners:1
Description:

You will make a small art journal for your partner - small meaning smaller than 6" x 6". You should aim for 6 - 8 items which will mean 12 to 16 pages to work on. If you plan to alter an existing book, you can glue the pages together to create 12 to 16 workable pages (maybe a children's book from the thrift store or something you have already in your stash.)

You can use tags, lunch bags, other small shopping bags, your gelli-printed papers, a flyer from the grocery store (I'm thinking of Trader Joe's or Whole Foods - you can cut them smaller), maps, ledger/graph paper, book pages or a mixture of things.

You can gesso and paint the pages but leave them "open" for your partner to complete. Add stenciling and stamping, add a pocket or two, flaps, tip-ins, or tuck spots.

This swap is artist's choice so do not join if you if this is not your cup of tea. Please join if you enjoy making books/journals and are a lover of funky and found things.

More ideas - file folders, large envelopes, greeting cards

Would love to join, but can't do international swaps due to the mailing costs:(

I understand that postage is prohibitive for swaps like these. I don't want to exclude any international members. Go ahead and host a USA version.
