Description:

I haven't done twinchies in a while. :-)

Twinchies are two inch inchies...so 2x2 inch square instead of 1x1.

You will make 2 twinchies for 2 partners for a total of 4 twinchies. We'll let this be sender's choice but it would be nice to review your partners' profiles.

Do your best work, no slicker slapping. No digital twinchies. Collage, paint, encaustic, whatever...be creative. Use a sturdy card or thin cardboard for these. Heavy watercolor paper or heavy weight cardstock work great.

Newbies are welcome with a well filled out profile. Veteran swappers; minimum 4.9 rating and no recent 1s or 3s.

If you have any questions, please ask.

Happy swapping!

I definitely need to learn more about the process of encaustic... it kind of sounds like batik but I just read a brief description... is hot wax the only common element? What kind of pigment is used with the wax??? Is there anyone willing to share their experiences?? I'm always looking to expand my horizons...

As far as I know, hot wax is the only thing encaustic and batik have in common. I've used oil paint and powdered pigments to encaustic medium. It's definitely not a cheap art form if you buy the paint commercially.

So its just 2x2 card with whatever i want on it? Stamps, stickers..like a greeting card?

Can they be sewn?

Leigh 05/14/2016 #

Lihior, yes...little 2" x 2" square pieces of art. Random...yes, sew away if you like. I have a sewn ATC somewhere in my collection. I'm sure it would work on a twinchie, too.
