New Swap: Color Swatch Books

This swap is for Paper Traders members only but we would love to have you join our fun. Please click on the purple yahoo button in the sidebar for more information on how to join Paper Traders.

Color Swatch Books
11 pages
(final count determined by number of participants)
Skill: all levels
Sign ups will close when all color choices have been selected or by February 7, 2014 - whichever comes first.
Mail out before March 7, 2014
Hosted by: Pam Colosimo aka 'fairyrocks'

Participants will first select their color from the list in the sign up column in the database: State your name behind the = sign next to the color you choose. First sign ups get first picks. You will create a 'Swatch' style page with your color only. You will make one page for each participant's book plus one for the hostess. (I will give you a number when sign ups are closed - 11 maximum.) I am calling for the page size to be 5" tall x 4" wide on good quality white paper. Leave the background white and keep them flat. See sample in photo gallery. They will be bound on the left hand side. Remember to sign and date each page on the back with blog address/email.

Think Paint chip samples, fabric squares, ribbon, paint, magazine images in your monochromatic color, color definitions, object representation (apple = red, sun = yellow, etc.); write words or quotes with colored pen. Your color should appear in writing at least once on your page. As hostess, I will collect all pages, bind swatch cover for the pages, and will mail them back completed. Hope you can join. This will be a thing of great beauty and inspiration when we are done!!

Please include a return address label. US and Canada, please send reasonable postage. (If you are not sure, get your postal service to weigh your package and enclose that amount). Overseas, please enclose quality unique ephemera in lieu of postage. If possible, use real picture postage stamps.
