Zentangle Bookmark Swap

Hello everyone!

This will be my first time hosting a public swap here, and I'd like to make it a simple and fun swap. For my first time doing this, I'd like for this to be USA participants only.

Each participant will have 1 partner, and make 1 handmade zentangle bookmark and send it to that partner.

IMPORTANT Last minute edit. Someone had PM'd me asking if we are to draw on one or both sides of the bookmark. Honestly, this never occurred to me, as I am so used to just drawing on one side and putting my name and date on the back. So, I wanted to make a note here to say that if you want to draw on both sides you can, HOWEVER it is NOT required. If you only want to draw one one side of the book mark, that is fine. The option to do one or both sides will be SENDER's CHOICE.

• What is Zentangle?

• IMPORTANT DETAILS

The bookmark should measure 2 x 8 inches ( this size fits into a standard bookmark sleeve ). Also, the bookmark should be made with a material that is somewhat sturdy ( for example, cardstock, bristol board or watercolor paper. ) We would like them to hold up both in the mail, and also for those who would like to use them in their books :)

It is ok if you don't have a sleeve for your bookmark that you send. Please make sure to package it well so it will not be damaged in transit.

Participants MUST have a 4.8 rating or higher, with no recent 1's or 3's to join this swap. If you are new, you may join, but please have your profile filled out before doing so. People who are new and appear somewhat anonymous will not be able to participate.

Happy Zentangling! ( is that a word ? ) :)

Now that we are well past the send by date, I wanted to post a note stating that if you do not receive from your partner, please contact me about it so we can get the issue resolved.

thanks, Faeorain
