Welcome! As I love bookmarks and couldn't find an open bookmark swap I thought of doing one myself; so this is the first time I coordinate a swap but I promise you I shall keep this as simple as possible and absolutely fun! Ok, then, now I shall list the main points: 1) Make two bookmarks for one partner. 2) International 3) Newbies with completely filled profile are allowed. If not, you shall be banned. 4) No No Sends at all. Also people with very low (below 3) ratings shall be banned. 5) Bookmarks theme is Lolita in Valentine's Day. 6) Any extras deserve a heart. After all, it's a Valentine's swap! So what is this Lolita thing about? If you're thinking about the russian novel, then I might dissapoint you, because that is not the meaning at all, at least for the swap. Generally speaking, the Lolita fashion is a fashion that started in Japan and is inspired by victorian and rococo historic styles, but with a twist. You can actually read this wiki article that is very detailed and will help you understand better what I'm talking about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita_fashion Then what am I exactly asked to do on this swap?? It's very simple, the only thing you have to do is find a Lolita style that goes best with you and use it as inspiration for the bookmarks. If what you like about lolis are laces and ribbons, then go ahead and use them! Any colour is accepted as long as it matches your lolita preferences. I want you to make a fun, lovely and interesting bookmark, so you can actually do anything you want! However you must remember to add a Valentine's twist in it. Don't just think about red red hearts, there are many other things that could represent Valentine's for you! |
