Description:

I thought of this swap the other night when I was doing a swap on another site and I had to make a painting of one of my partners interests. Because I absolutely cannot draw or paint, I decided to make flat shrine, no bigger than a postcard dedicated to one image. For example, my partner has a big thing for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, so I made her a flat shrine of Leatherface.

Guidelines: This is pretty basic. When your partners are assigned, look at his/her interest page and pick one thing to dedicate the flat shrine to. Find an image of that interest and decorate the surrounding area with glitter, buttons, beads, etc. Basically whatever would fit. Make the whole thing to be about the size a postcard. Again, this is not intended to be three dimensional, but embellishments to the paper is required! Make one personalized flat shrine for each of your partners.

This is a international swap. Newbies are welcome, ratings of 4.5 and higher only please. If you have any no sends, contact me first with a reasonable explanation and we'll see. ALSO:::It is necessary that your profile is completly filled out!! If it isn't done by the sign up date, you will be dropped.

Happy swapping. Please ask questions if this doesn't make sense!

I've just messaged my partners...I don't know what I was thinking, but somehow got this mixed up with another shrine swap I am in...so missed the send by date. Tiny shrines will be going out either Thursday or Friday this week to Changeling and Kerri.

I feel like such a doofus...
