Chunky Book Page #3 Euterpe

This swap is for 1 Chunky Book Page to 1 partner.

There will be a series of these swaps, one a month and if you chose to play each month by the end you will end up with nine chunky book pages for you to bind into a book. Each month there will be a different Muse.See the forum post for the upcoming Muses.

I will do this every month for the next nine & if you decide to join me on this journey, you will have a chunky book of nine pages filled with art & goodness made by your fellow crafty witches. The only requirement is that the pages be : 6 x 6 inches or 15.2 x 15.2 cm. All else is up to the artists interpretation.

Please use heavy cardstock, glue a few pieces together if necessary this has to withstand embellishments and years of people turning the pages!

For simplicity these will be bound on the left so leave an approx 1.5 inch (3.81 cm) margin free of thick/dimensional embellishment on the left hand side. Bulky items should be kept to the right. And nothing to interfere with where you partners punch holes will be. Do not punch them yourself this is for you partner to do.

Some examples of binding could be ribbon, book rings, spiral coils etc

The back of the page will be visible so although your art does not have to extend to the back please do something with it, whether its painting it black, a doodle or covering it in scrapbook paper, you should sign the back and put the title as well.

This months theme will be: Euterpe of lyric poetry

Any medium welcome, paint, pencil, pen + ink, collage....but no sticker slapping and put some effort in you don't want to be the one page that ruins the rest of your partners book do you? :p

Embellishment ideas: eyelets, brads, fibres, lace, ribbon, charms, beads, buttons, tags, little envelopes with messages inside, little trinkets, glitter, puff paint etc etc

So in summary....

1.One 6 by 6inch page to 1 partner

2.The Theme this month:Euterpe of lyric poetry

3.Bulky embellishment kept to the right.

4.Nothing to interfere with binding to the left.

5.Decorate the back and sign and title.

6.Heavy Cardstock (you can glue several pieces together)

You can start your page now as this is senders choice. It shouldn't cost too much to send internationally either.

This swap is open to New Members....with one codicil: You must have a minimum of 5 non-email swaps already completed & rated.
