Ongoing ATCs is up, claiming starts tomorrow: (go ahead & send your questionnaires as soon as you’re ready)
For those of you who remember the old system, I’ve combined the gallery & discussion threads. If this gets confusing, we can always separate them back out again, but for the moment this seems reasonable. That thread is here:
Hahaha I definitely understand that feeling but I’m actually a little grateful they’re not starting for a few days, since I’m already super busy this week! Next week I’ll have time to really dive in once I get my partners! XD
I’ve been thinking about the STS and wondering if that may be on a near-future list. I can’t host it but just wanted to get the thought out there. I’ve got such a random assortment of little art projects and supplies I’d love to offer up.
I like this idea. I am also, finally, going through boxes in my studio that I’ve hardly touched since we moved in (a year and a half ago) Eep! I will start putting things aside for this. Yay!
“Shop the Swap”
It’s where you offer supplies and crafts from your stash and assign them a “value” of 1, 2, or 3 points. Then you “buy” from anyone in the swap. They gain those points and spend them and the cycle continues until the swap closes.
It’s for ‘Shop the Swap’ (STS)
Here’s an old summary, but the basic facts are the same:
[GENERAL
The Shop the Swap (or STS) is a different kind of swap in that we start with finished items. We use a point system in which you ‘price’ items in points that you receive when you ‘sell’ your shop item to another swapper. Once you have sent your claim out , you can use those points to ‘buy’ any available item from any open shop in the swap. Like the real world, you can’t spend points that you don’t have (no overdraft here) and you can’t hoard your points under your mattress (you must close and go shopping when you have +7 points)]
