Collaborative Block Layers (Round 2)

1) Create a "layer" on each of the 12 blocks you recieve- collage, sewing-quilting, embellishing, painting, whatever you like. This will be the second layer (including the base).

*Important, please "shuffle" before sending them out to the new assigned partners so we will all get a chance to see and interact with each other. For example, you got 4 from person A, 4 from B & 4 from C please shuffle them so you send out one from A, B, & C to each of your 3 newly assigned partners.

*Defination of Layer: Collage, stitching, cut work, painting or glazing etc...You could add a bit of something to one part and something else to another other part. Each "layer" doesn't need to cover the whole piece but you need to do more than glue a bead to one side and call it done. These are mini collaborative ART pieces so put your heart into them. These are also two sided so I encourage you to look at both sides as we begin, perhaps both sides could get some attention. I would request that we include on the "Backs" the addition of each persons initials and a # 1-5 to indicate which round you participated in. Check out some ATC's or other collage types of work for inspiration.

2) Send 4 blocks to each of your 3 assigned swap partners.

We will all end up with 12 different blocks collaborated on by 5 people that we can then assemble in any way we wish (in a book, on the wall, stitched together, whatever).

We will use swap bot to create automatically generated random swap partners. You will get an email before each rotation telling you who you will send your blocks to. The first rotation will begin on Jan 28th. We will then use this site to assign the additional rotations at intervals of 4-6 weeks.
