Description:

As I walked through my local Home Depot, I stopped in the paint department. All the different colors draw me in, and I love the names. I found one today, Fireflies Glow, that lit a lightbulb in my head.

Your challenge (if you choose to accept it), venture to your nearest home improvement store's paint department. Find a paintchip that draws you in simply by color. Next, hopefully your color has a name (if not, no worries). Now, create something based on this paintchip. Don't be limited to paintchips with only one color, use the multi-color ones for more ideas. This is your interpretation. If you are a knitter, knit something in this color scheme. If you are a poet, write a poem based on it. If you paint, paint something. If you like to write, write a short story based on it. Be sure to include the paintchip with your art to your partner.

Because this will be a time-sensitive swap, everyone will have 1 partner and you will have two weeks to complete. This will be international, because I love international mail.

I am going to limit this swap to swappers with a 4.9 or higher rating, with no 1's or 3's in the last 6 months, and have completed at least 5 swaps.

If we got two paint chips, could we use one in our art? ATCs are okay, right?

Yes, ATC are perfect. Last swap I got a poem and I loved it. Just keep in mind that this is completely sender's choice, and their artistic interpretation.
