Description:

I participated in a doodle swap and loved it. It's easy, fun, and you can take it to the beach or on vacation to work on it. Take a piece of cardstock, and I'm going to let you decide what color - and you doodle on it. Fill up the whole darn page. Use whatever medium you like, pens, pencils, gel pens, markers - whatever! Cut your doodle up into 9 cards - yes - 9! Eight you will send out, one you will keep. You will get back from 8 other people so you will have a whole 9 card sheet with doodles from a bunch of people. Posted is my complete doodle. I cut this up and traded. The one I'm working on now is black with metallic gel pens. Go ahead, try something new. You're doodling, we all do it, now we're just gonna trade it!

Sounds like a cool swap, Belle the Cat. But I can't see your doodle; did it not upload, or am I not looking in the right place?

The piece of cardstock needs to be size A4 right?

tamipal6 06/15/2007 #

What a fun idea! Thanks for hosting this swap!

FridaKahlo 06/16/2007 #

I'm guessing it didn't upload, will try again, and the cardstock can be anything large enough that you can cut 9 atc's from. I used a sheet of watercolor paper for the first one, 8.5x11" cardstock for this one.

FridaKahlo 06/16/2007 #

okay, i've tried several times and can't do it. You can see it on my blog www.artbydianne.blogspot.com. You will need to look in the archives to the right.

FridaKahlo 06/16/2007 #

February 2007 to be exact.

FridaKahlo 06/16/2007 #

okay, i've shrunk the image and tried to upload it like a million times, i still don't see it. so, go to my blog and check it there.

beckra 06/16/2007 #

Well.....I've doodled a 12x12 piece of cardstock...I can usually get 14 ATCs from that size, so there should be 8/9 good cards there. This was fun!

FridaKahlo 08/ 2/2007 #

all right, let's get doodling if you haven't already!! Partners are assigned!! Any questions e-mail me! Dianne

tex82 08/ 2/2007 #

is good. Send to there is cheapest than europe or asia!

ozrob 08/ 2/2007 #

all my partners are in USA also. Postage is going to cost me $15.60 :o)

ozrob 08/ 2/2007 #

I uploaded a pic of my uncut piece to the gallery.

pootle 08/ 4/2007 #

seven out of my eight went to the US - and one to Australia! but d'oh! forgot to take pic before I chopped it up.

Rillaith 08/ 4/2007 #

Mine are all cut and ready for the post office - hoping to get the full size uncut version printed out small enoguh to send as a second ATC with them too, though.

tex82 08/ 4/2007 #

whats the size in cm of cardstock?

beckra 08/ 5/2007 #

Mine are off; what fun! Thanks for hosting, Belle the Cat!

gipsygal 08/ 6/2007 #

Uploaded my uncut one! Love everybody'S

mammi53 08/ 6/2007 #

All of mine are on the their way. Hope you enjoy!

Rillaith 08/ 9/2007 #

Most already posted last week, but the rest going to the psot office now!

Just a heads-up though, this morning's free paper said that the post office strikes are going to be 24 hours at the airports, and also some of the sorting offices, which means that airmail's going to be affected today/for the next while. Dammit :(

ArtfulAmy 08/ 9/2007 #

All of my cards went out in the post today!!! Enjoy!

FridaKahlo 08/12/2007 #

Rillaith 09/10/2007 #

All of mine received, and only Natalie Leonard's to me AWOL ... this was a fun swap :)

FibreJunky 01/ 3/2008 #

I didn't realize Rachel had fixed things so you could mark something unsent that you'd accidentally marked sent! Two remain unsent - but those need customs slips so I can't print labels from work. They're packed and ready to go. I'm finally getting caught up!
