SWAP OVERVIEW

For this swap, you will be required to make a piece of art that is 4" x 6" in any medium and in any style that you choose. This is for swappers of all abilities, but your artwork should be made with your best effort and should take at least 1 hour to create (not including drying or machine run times). The crafting period and signup period for this swap are the same - December 15, 2023 - January 5, 2024. Since you will not receive your partner’s information until after the crafting period has ended, this will be a great time for you to let your imagination run wild! Partner information will be sent to each participant on January 6, 2024. You will have until the end of the day on January 12, 2024 to get your artwork into the mail. Even though the signup/crafting period happens over the holidays, this may be the perfect opportunity to try any new art supplies you may receive or simply to hide out from family for some art therapy!

For this swap, you must be willing to ship Internationally. As long as your art measures 4" x 6", you can use any materials you would like, but since you may have to ship internationally, you may want to keep it light and flat and you can mail it as a letter. The minimum costs for this swap are intentionally low; you can make something on a piece of paper, and mail it with an envelope and a stamp.

Since this is a paper swap, tracking information for your envelope is not required, but if your artwork takes more than 30 days to arrive, you must agree to resend.

To participate, once your 4x6 artwork is complete, send a private message to organizer @kwality570 with the following information:
