RED HOT CUPPA Collaborative Shaped Book
Dates to be announced.
Whether your drink of choice is coffee-latte-tea-mate-chai-cocoa-spiced cider,
let's share a red hot cuppa in a cup shaped book! This swap is about sharing
some quips, quotes, sayings, lingo, slang - you get the idea; just about anything
you might talk about over a cup of your favorite beverage with a friend. Your
page can be painted, waxed, dyed, fabric, a drawing - anything you want as long
as it includes words on the page. Each artist will make 10 original pages per
set, artists can sign up for more sets if they would like to. The pages will be
assembled into a small shaped book. Specific instructions, a template, and
guidelines will be proved to each artist by email.
DOUBLE HAPPINESS Collaborative Shaped Book
Dates to be announced.
If you enjoy Asian influenced swaps this is the one for you. We will be
assembling a shaped collaborative book. Think of quotes that inspire, trips to
a distant land, colors, people, refer to doses of unconventional wisdom that seem
comical when translated into English and of course Asian inspired foods.
Artists will create pages from the hearty rice bowl template; front and back of
page must be artistically finished. Anything goes as long as you keep the name
of the book in mind and have a strong Asian influence in your art. Artists must
use sturdy cardstock, 140 lb watercolor paper would be ideal so that each page
in the book starts with the same integrity of strength. Artists will be making
11 pages. You will receive 10 pages compiled into a book in return unless you
would like to sign up for more than one set of ten pages they may do so. Each
artist will receive the template for the sheets along with some basic rules and
instructions as soon as they sign up for the swap. The extra page made by each
artist will go into a book of all of the artists' pages which will be auctioned
off at a later date and proceeds from this auction will be sent to a charity.
Charity to be named later.
Autumn Moon Paper would love to see this book professionally published and will work
in every possible way to market this book to a publisher. With this in mind
each artist must make their pages very carefully and neatly, names and contact
information will not be on each page but listed in a separate biblio page added
to each book. All pages must be originals. If you are interested in this swap
please send us an email and we will glady send the list of guidelines, rules,
and instructions so that artists will create and receive the highest quality books.
Each artist will receive the template for this book once they have signed up and
guaranteed their spot in this swap. Cost of swap $10 which includes postage for
mailing completed books. Books will be assembled and returned as quickly as
possible after all are received. International artists welcome, postage rates
may vary.
