Art Journal Swap,

THIS SWAP IS PRIVATE BETWEEN MYSELF AND CYNAEMON I HAVE THE SAME SWAP OPEN TO EVERYONE IF YOUR INTERESTED GO HERE -- http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/245883

For this swap you will be making a ART JOURNAL for your partner.

What is an what is an art journal you ask?

Simple an art journal is a journal in which you combine art and words to express yourself. That's it. It's not complex, and there really aren't any rules for art journals. It's all about self-expression.

You can use a bought journal or a handmade one or even a hard back book.. As long as it is no smaller then 5 by 7. It can be as big as you want it. You can use a comp book but you will want to glue pages together to make the pages sturdier for painting and what not

YOU WILL HAVE 2 MONTHS TO WORK ON THIS SWAP

*******Requirements for swap********* * Fill in one journal with your art work.

Journal when done must have at least 30 full pages 

of work front and back. However doing more pages is welcome. With the front covered with your work and the back of the page at least partially (1/3 to 1/2) covered so it's not just a blank page.

THIS IS NOT A WRITING JOURNAL So no list making or 

writing about your day. This is about art expression.

When this journal is done it should be full !!! Meaning - if you start with a hundred page book then you will need to either remove the extra pages or glue them together ut DO NOT leave un-worked / unfinished pages.

***** You can do double pages but they count as 1 page only. ****

ALSO decorate the cover front and back.
