Hey everyone,
Not sure if this is a normal way to start a new art swap, but I'm not too normal anyway.
This is only my third swap but I had a blast so far.
I guess we need to get a list of participants and a topic.
I kind of like the idea of space/alien tiki.
What's everyone think?
Thanks for the honor of being your leader this time around. I hope to serve you well.
Does a finish date of July 31 work for everyone?
TU

TU, I'm in- open to (er, almost) all themes- space sounds like it would produce some cool pieces. My mind goes away from tiki and right to Sun Ra (jazz musician):
End of July works for me. Anyone else?

Awesome!! If anyone has any other ideas, lets post them and find out what the majority of people want to do. I will post the final subject in the next week if there are more suggestions.

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and am intrigued by the idea of an art swap? Can someone explain how this works?
I'm an artist and am interested!
Thanks!
Sandra

Sandra,
Glad to have you on board!
Here is the basic deal:
Everyone involved creates an original piece of art. This can be sculpture, carving, painting, drawing, etc.
Your piece has to be finished by the due date, July 31. At the end, I will do a drawing. You get an original work and will send your work to someone else.
I will post the "official" rules as soon as I am done with taxes. I promise to have my art for the swap done earlier. lol
The theme is looking like it will be a space/alien tiki theme.

An alien tiki swap sounds like a fun idea. Thank you for heading the swap up.

I love the idea of space/alien tiki! Maybe we can throw in robot? I'm in for it. In the past I've had to bow out of a couple, but I've already got a piece or two that would work for this. So fuN!

Great turn out so far! I am not big into rules, so anything that seems space, alien, sci-fi robot mixed in with tiki works for me.
Just so everyone in clear, here are the rules from the last swap and they seemed to go well, so I stole them...I mean was influenced by them.
For those unfamiliar with the concept, you make an original art piece (not a mold or a print) inspired by the theme in any media ~ could be a painting, digital, carving, ceramic mug, beaded, knit, sewn, mixed, diorama, whatever. Usually, at the end of the Swap you are paired at random with another participant and you swap art ~ you get theirs and they get yours.
If you want a secret random drawing, let me know. I'm good either way.
I'm stoked about the theme and started some sketches today. Thanks to everyone for their words of encouragement. This is going to be an out of this world swap!!
Thanks!
