Gesso, paint, glue, lace, fiber, old photos,buttons, bows, endless possibilities just use one side for your art work and put your name and swap on the other.. Find a piece that will fit comfortably in an envelope used for letters and mail to your partner. Yes you can start now.

I have never done anything like this before. I am watching for now, and thinking of what I might do. :)

Love to have you join us!

I'm watching until closer.

DebP - here is one I did and I turned it into an ATC - the ATC of it is the first row in the middle. Here is a second one and this one was the last one I did.

Sorry, here's the last one

Ladies, you are good.

I've never tried this either but bought a puzzle at the thrift store today. Will join when date is closer.

Yes you can!!

Check this out. Ink2wear slipped this under my office door "Just B'cause", while I wasn't looking. She's a swapper here at swap-bot, a co-worker of mine, as well a very talented artist.

I can't join cuz I can't find the right puzzle pieces. I found some regualr ones larger than normal, but not the jumbo ones and don't want to get a bad rate for not meeting the requirements. So sorry! I really wanted to give this a shot!

They're not the really jumbo pieces. Think of what would fit in a 4x6 photo sleeve and go from there.
