Description:

Lets swap steampunky supplies! For this swap you will send each of your 5 partners at least 5 items each that they could use for steampunk papercrafting. They could all be flat items but you are also welcome to send charms, metal bits etc.
Some examples of what constitutes one 'item' for the purposes of this swap:
- 3 book pages
- 3 used postage stamps
- 5 stamped images
- 5 ATC blanks
- 2 pieces of decorative paper 4x6 or bigger, or one 8x8 or bigger.
- 1 metal charm
- 2 large gears or other "industrial" metal bits, or 6 tiny ones
- 6 inch sample of washi or other decorative tape
- 5 die cuts
- 3 images cut from a collage sheet
- 5 images cut from a magazine or photocopied from a book
- 5 stickers
- Or anything else you can think of that could be useful!

When in doubt, err on the side of generosity--it can never hurt to send more. Used items are fine (obviously, since this is a de-stash) but still send what you would like to receive.

Keep in mind that steampunk doesn't just mean gears/clockwork. Better to think of it as Victorian plus technology--like what someone in the Victorian era might think the year 2013 would look like--airship filled skies, advanced tech running on steam and clockwork. For these purposes some straight up Victoriana in images and whatnot can be very useful and would be fine to send, but you must include at least something of the industrial/technology side of things.

International since this will likely be a flat envelope to each partner.
Rating of at least 4.95 required with explanations for all low ratings. If the explanation is not on your profile or on the rating comment, please PM me BEFORE joining the swap. I reserve the right to remove anyone at my discretion.
No brand-new newbies (sorry). You must have completed at least 10 snailmail swaps before joining. If anyone too new to join wants to do a private swap for the same sort of thing with me, just send me a PM!

I'm confused about the swap description: 1 Swap Partner; send 5 Steampunk items to 5 partners?
Is it 1 swap partner or 5 swap partners?

Whoops, sorry about that. Fixed it.

On my watch list.

Dangit, I was hoping I'd be able to destash some of my ridiculous excess of steampunky stuff but I'm not a paper crafter and I don't have enough swaps anyway. =(
