Description:

Have you ever seen those pretty banners all covered with glitter and ribbon and pretty little things? You know the ones - with cutsie inspirational words like "HOPE" or "DREAM," or "CREATE?" I've seen a ton of them, and while I admire the shit out of the banner itself as part of the decor, I somehow just can't seem to bring myself to latch onto the inspirational word it is showcasing.

And, since the DC is known for the um, er, outspokeness of its members, I thought this would be the perfect way to showcase our verbal talents. Well, for this swap you are going to create the cutsie banner part, but the word is going to be a rude one! Your favorite curse or swear word, or other rude and obnoxious saying of which you are fond or that you may be noted for using.

Here are the nuts and bolts of the swap: The banner should be made of a series of individual pennants, ovals, circles or other shapes strung together, and it must be at least three feet long (that can include hangers on the ends, ribbons, etc.) Look Here for IdeasThe individual pennants can spell out a single word or each one could have a word on it. The banner needs to have some way of being hung up, and it should include lots of embellishments and be decorative. It can be any medium you like, or it can be mixed media. If you wish, you may visit your partner's profile and read about likes or dislikes if you want to tailor it to their personal style, but that is not a requirement.

Again, make it so pretty and sweet according to your style of work; Victorian, altered, Shabby Chic, whatever, as long as the saying is in direct contrast to the appearance of the banner. Remember that this is the DC, so no censuring! And no Flakers! Flakers will be strung up and displayed on their own special banner wearing the DC Asshat!

Oh Darn! Oh Phooey, oh CaCa, oh Shucks! Too bad. Maybe you could hang it in the closet?

I want one of these. It will be safe in my craft loft though. I'm going to watch, maybe get started, and see if I can manage this one in time. Oh, it could be so cute and beautiful. Shit.

Oh fuck, I don't want to join any swaps right now. But I bet I end up joining this one. Damn you.

I would be so ecstatic if the person who created my banner used the word "cocksucker"!! But any curse word will do. =D

Oh man, my favorite show right now is Deadwood. They are showing the entire series over on the 101 on Sunday nights. Al's favorite word is cocksucker, too! And he uses it all the time. How about "Dirty Cocksucker" somethingblue? If I get your name that's what it'll be. ;-o

Shit. I didn't want anymore swaps right now either. shit. I gotta do it, even tho I will have to conceal it also as I have a 12 year old who already has a penchant for swearing. shit!!

lilspotteddog 10/13/2009 #

Hey @driftwood you could always use the "Do as I say and not as I do," thingy on him. Oh, but wait, do as I say? hmnnn.

Lishmo 10/13/2009 #

Oh man, I was gonna slow down the swapping, but I really want to join this one. I have no kids so anything goes - I love cusswords.

lilspotteddog 10/14/2009 #

Come on Lishmo! How many of these are you ever gonna get a chance to make in a lifetime? This is one that you can always use! Someone stopping by that you don't like? Drag out yer cussword banner and drape it across the doorway. Pissed off at yer job? Hang it off the front of yer work station or desk. Pissy mood? Ditto. Where will you ever run across a piece as versatile as this again? JOIN, Dammit!

wow, yes, perfect for the wicked step-mother-in-law when she pops round. Not quite as subtle as what Hubby did to her last time she was here....She'll never know.

lilspotteddog 10/18/2009 #

Ha ha. You'll have to share what he did. Did you post on the DC forum and tell all? You bad!
