Do you love anything eerie and/or creepy? Do "dark" themes, monsters, aliens and ghosts appeal to you? Well, come and join this swap if the answer is yes!
For this swap you will be making an art journal with an eerie or a creepy theme to 1 partner. This is a time-consuming crafting swap, and for that reason you will have to have at least 10 type 2/3 swaps under your belt, rated. Oh, and beware if you join - you might be getting something scary in the mail!! :)
The journal:
Have at least 20 pages in your journal. (20 pages = 10 pieces of paper, both sides decorated). You may use the themes I have come up with and/or come up with your own themes - I do not want to limit your imagination! Do decorate the covers as well and name the journal "All Things Eerie" or individually, based on the themes you chose to have in your work. You can make the journal yourself or use a store-bought notebook or alter a book and use it as a base to your own art and decorations. The only rule is that is should be at least A5 size (5.8 x 8.3 inches) but you can certainly go bigger if you want to. Any technique and art/craft form you wish to apply to your journal is okay. You may draw, write stories, take photographs, paint, collage, stamp, sew... Whatever comes to your mind! You do not need to be an artist to join. Having fun is the point! The only mandatory page for the journal: Introduce yourself. This may very well be a fictional introduction if you wish. The journal may deal with various themes that do not relate to each other but you may also have the journal to deal with one specific theme or perhaps even a story you come up with yourself. This is an international swap so prepare to pay the postage. Also prepare to wait a bit for your journal to arrive.
IDEAS FOR YOUR EERIE JOURNALS:
Introduction. This is the only mandatory page. My Life as a Ghost. Describe and/or decorate. What happened - why did you become a ghost? What do ghosts do? Alien attack! (Need I say more :D ) Odd Beauty. My Favourite Monsters. My Top 10 Scary Things. Horrifying Quotes. Alien life-forms and Planets "Fact Files". Descriptions and pictures. Creepy but cute! The Mad Scientist's Lab This Ghost Story is True. Share your own experiences... Cemetery Dwellers. Zombies, living-dead and all the like. Eerie Lyrics. Zombie Apocalypse! Post-apocalypse. What does it look like? What happened to the planet? Scary detective stories. Think of X-Files or H. P. Lovecraft. You may even decide to dedicate the whole journal to a story like this. Where did you start your inspections and where did they lead you? How did you get involved with the supernatural? My favourite horror films or horror books. Haunted House. Nightmares. Scary Faerie Tales. Think of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, for example. In the Realm of the Fae. As you know, the fae are a cunning folk... The Scary Folklore of Your Country. Happened One Night... The Monsters Under My Bed. Skeletons. In the Woods... That's How I Became a Werewolf Encountering a Vampire Things I Was Afraid of When I Was a Child Dark Ages Dungeons My Favourite Horror Author / Artist / Director
I hope these themes help you in creating the journal. Creepy swapping, everyone!
