Your Skinny Book Pages must be:

1. 4 inches wide and 8 inches long. (which is what makes it a Skinny Book)

2. The top (4 inch ) is where you will bind your Skinny Book so leave 1/2 inch undecorated at the top on all pages.

You decide if you want your pages to have embelishments or not, if you want only collage, only painted...etc. or a mixture (meaning anything goes).

You'll swap your pages by PM. You don't have to trade with everyone and there is no time limit.

Bonus: Anyone can surprise you by sending you a page made according to your request listed in this thread.

To post a request for Skinny Book Pages:
1. Request a theme or open (open meaning any theme)
2. Request a medium or open (meaning any medium)
3. List your requests for what you do and don't want on your pages if any.

Please only list 1-3 requests for pages and put them all in the same post. You may alter your themes as you fill each book.

When you post a Request, please send me a PM that you posted a request so I won't miss it and can get you added to the list.

Thanks! Now Let's Get Skinny!

Copy and Paste the following format in your post and fill it out for your Skinny Page Requests.

MEDIUM: Collage, Hand Drawn/Painted/Pastel, or a mix
DO's: I wish for my pages to look colorful and quirky...funky...a bit eccentric. 3-D embellishments OK, just not too thick.

I've never heard of Skinny Books and am so excited about them! I've done things like this on my own/with friends.

I had an idea for one posted here, but I changed my mind. Too much on my plate as it is!

Alright, I've been looking at this for awhile. I'm a bit afraid, but this idea sounds so cool. Hopefully my work will be good enough for someone.

Book #1
THEME: Chunky, Lumpy, Crunchy Collage
MEDIUM: collage, mixed media
DO'S and DONT'S: this book must be mounted on something really heavy like 300 pound water color paper or heavier or it just won't work. I do love glitter, sticks, stones, whatever your heart desires that you can securely fasten to the page.

Book #2
THEME: The Four Elements
MEDIUM: Any
DO'S and DONT'S: Pick from earth, air, fire or water and do something fun! One per page please, not a combination.

I'll do a few for myself so you have something to see what I can do.
