Description:

First off, this swap requires that you either own or check out from the library The Big-Ass Book of Crafts by Mark Montano.

This book is amazing & I realized that I would love to make one of the projects in the book & send it off to someone here on swap-bot.

So, you have the book in your hands & maybe have fallen in craft lust with it & are flipping through pages looking @ amazing mirror covered tables & scroll-work benches. You pause & wonder if my brains have been nibbled by a zombie.....I don't want anyone to make the larger items in the book. Think more like the fab, mailable items on page 316...or 218....or 150. The book is FILLED with smaller items. I believe there are equally large projects to make your home a phantasmagoria and small projects that fit this swap perfectly.

Now for requirements & guidelines:

  • Get the book

  • Check your rating & status: You MUST have a rating of 4.8 or higher & have completed at least 10 real swaps (no postcards or email swaps) and no drama connected to your name in swaps or forums. I will ban anyone I feel shady.

  • Pick a reasonable, mailable piece

  • Check your partners profile for fav color or themes

  • Begin your piece with color choices/themes in mind

  • Finish piece before swap deadline & mail before May 1st.

This swap will have partners assigned early, but a long send by date to allow time to create your piece. This is USA & Canada only due to shipping.

Have a Big-Ass Fun Time!

Sounds fun. I'm going to see if I can get the book at the library before the signup date.

Amazon is out of stock of the cheapest copy of this book :-( And anyhoo I have just realised that Aussies can't sign up for this swap. So double :-(

@sunnysidey Please copy this swap & make an international version, if you'd like.

Hopefully you'll do this swap again...I am in a long line waiting for the library copy and cant afford to buy it right now.

Or we could do a 1-on-1 @greenwoodtree
