Spring Swap

[julesststudio]

We have been doing 4 Swaps a year, one for each season. Today is the start of our Spring Swap. This one is going to be different then our normal swaps. Its simple and easy to do. You may sign up only 2 times and this will be a direct swap with the person who is your partner. We had a suggestion from  Lisa awhile back on an idea she had, so we are going to incorporate it in this swap. when you are given your partners name you will send them a ACEO that you have not finished. It could be one you started and just couldn't figure out how to finish, or you can start one and leave it unfinished. You will send this ACEO to your partner who in turn will send you one of theirs. When they are done everyone can post them to see the results.

    1.Post your name and email address in this thread

    2.Swap is open from 5-7-13 to 5-17-13 at which time it will be locked

    3.On 5-18-13 list of partners will be posted

Do not sign up if you can not follow through.

Barbara sent me this delightful start.  It was hard for me to alter him because he is so cute... but I did.  Here ya go!  Enjoy!  Sandra

Am I the only one who couldn't read the directions????

I sent mine finished -- so maybe we should do this one again and see if I can get it right????

Hi Bev,

I'm game if you are!  You can finish the little silver horse on the black card any way you want!  How does that sound?

This is my swap from Chuck, showing the before and after.   Since I'm a rock star and all, I decided to take your octopus and really give that siren a ride, ZZTOP Style! So, Mr. Octopus has an orange flame paint job like any self-respecting hot rod should! I have named the piece "She's got Fins!" (and she knows how to use them)

Have a good night, 

Rebecca

I love all these finished cards!  Some of them really made me laugh, too. 🙂

Sue's card is here!   But it's just too pretty, I don't know how I could make it better!

Cathie Roach started this one and I finished it.

POSTING FOR SUEJO0101

Abigail sent me a beautiful watercolor of an African violet. I added flower stickers, vellum tape and a fairy that I used liquid chalk to color her wings and toga. I then added glitter paint (doesn't show up well on the scan!), and inked around the edges. Sue

Nice work, everyone! I love to see the transformation between the "before" and "after" pieces!

I am still waiting to see the one I sent to Diana.  It had a cow on it.  Did you finish it yet?

[blue_rainbow_girl]

Sorry for the delay - I had to track down some watercolor paper that would work for this project. 🙂

This was both a fun challenge and swap, thank you for organizing it!

I call it...Leaf-ing Known Space.   😄

I have been swamped with stuff going on and havent posted mine. It was a bit of a challenge since Ihad never worked on fabric before but I will post it  later
