COMPLETE - 4x6 Art Swap - Round 9


Artwork by@Abbeeroad from Round 8!

GALLERY

The 4x6 Swap is Back!

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 a half hour to create (not including drying or machine run times and things like acrylic pours and alcohol ink art will not be permitted). You may choose up to three partners!

The crafting period and signup period for this swap are the same - **June 3, 2024 - June 23, 2024 **. Since you will not receive your partnerā€™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 June 24, 2024. You will have until the end of the day on June 29, 2024 to get your artwork into the mail.

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 remake and resend.

Iā€™m always tempted by this swap, but I never know what to make. Iā€™ll have to think about it & see if I can come up with something. :slight_smile:

Yay! I love this swap, Iā€™ll definitely be making something.

This sounds like a good excuse to work in some smaller pieces.

Same! Itā€™s always weird for me to think of a universal theme. I am telling myself that I wonā€™t overthink it this time.

As long as itā€™s not something political, gory, or religious that someone could find offensive, anything goes. Maybe use an art prompts site to come up with something?

Iā€™m going to do my best to make something other than monsters, because I think all of the 4x6ers have already gotten a ton of my monsters, but weā€™ll see what happens. Maybe Iā€™ll try one of those art prompt sites too!

The 4x6 swap is my excuse to try every tutorial and technique Iā€™ve been back-burnering. Itā€™s play time! I have a pinterest board filled with tutorials and another with stock image references to paint. If thereā€™s time, Iā€™d love to try something unexpected and newā€¦like embossed metal or a mixed media piece using layered cardboard and found objects. Or a mosaicā€¦

sometimes I go through a youtube tutorial I have saved to make my 4x6 art pieces

I havenā€™t posted enough to participate yet. But maybe I can start crafting and Iā€™ll have enough posts by the time the swap sign up closes.

I hope youā€™re able to join! This is always a fun swap both as a creator and recipient. Also, welcome to LC!

Would love to join this one! The long crafting time (and Iā€™ll have a couple of vacation days in there) make it doable for me. : )

Just remembered that I canā€™t sign up until Iā€™ve made my 4x6 pieces. Hereā€™s hoping for an artful weekend!

This might be a sign to try to find my box of watercolours. Thereā€™s too much stuff in my craft room :sweat_smile:

I had an idea this morning Iā€™m super excited to try! But I have to work on my OTT swap item first as that swap is due before this one (Iā€™m excited about what Iā€™m making for that as well, mind you).
