Due in hand by August 1st

Skill Level: 1 - Sprouting

Calling all seaside lovers to join in this creative swap! Grab 4  lunch bags and let's make a mini album in vintage style. Fold the bags in half and decorate each side (16 sides total) in faded, muted color tones, soft pastels (no brights). Please add something special in the open end of the bag...a tag, papers, poetry, ephemera etc. One of the bags will be the cover for YOUR book (designate which one with a sticky note). You will get 3 different bags in your album from other artists. I will assemble the books with beautiful ribbon and seashore charms. If you can fold, cut and paste, you can do this swap in any level. (Please no shedding glitter; sparkle Mod Podge works so much better). Please join me and see how fun these lunch bags are to play with... you will love making them!

Include $6 for flat rate small package and an address label. International postage will be around double that $12. (First Class mail can take up to 3 weeks or more to arrive.)

Skill Level: 1) SPROUTING - Geared toward the artist who has recently begun their journey into mixed media, these swaps are open to all group members, regardless of experience. Participation is the key - caring and sharing in the spirit of friendship and fun. Every artist needs to understand that contributors to these projects can be of any level of artistic experience.
