Pens, Paper, Paints, Hand drawn CJ Group
As far as I can see, it has been a long time since there was a circle journal group active so lets get one going shall we?
This group is for hand drawn art, paper, paints, pens, oil pastels, and pencils of your choice. It is not for stickers, rubber stamping, embelishments, digital or photography. .
We will be doing two pages that face each other as in an open book. These pages are often one continuous picture. Size is normally 6x6 or 8x8, but can vary some as long as it is not larger than 8x8 or smaller that 4x4.
What is a Circle Journal? Read the sticky threads on top of this (sub)-Forum. And for those new to Journals, by all means - look in my gallery for examples - there are a few from the old days.
To join this group one needs +15 iTrader
As a participant you are required to:
- check in with your Journal Group at least once a week
- report to group when you will be away from net or out of town and where you stand on spreads at that time (VERY Important)
- report when pages are mailed
- report when you receive a spread and from whom
- notify the group and your partner if you cannot mail on time
- notify your next trading partner, if you fall behind, not to create or mail a page for you until you are caught up.
!!! Be prepare for postage costs of mailing large envelopes for 5 months in a row and possibly around the world (which makes collecting spreads for a journal even more fun)
Note: If you do not post to your group thread or to a Group Host for more than two (2) weeks, the Group Host may report you to the Moderators and your membership in the Circle Journals will go on suspension. Your name will be taken off the rotation and pages will not be sent to you. NO EXCEPTIONS. We expect active participation in all the groups.
!!! I plan to follow these rules. Communication is EXTREMELY important with long term swaps like these
* You will be notified to PM your Journal Group Host with your FULL contact information (Name, mailing address, email address, and (all) telephone numbers).
* A Start Date is selected either by your Journal Group Host or there may be discussion in your group.
* Delivery Confirmation Numbers (for USA) on packages are no longer mandatory for page spreads, but if you do use them, post the # in the group thread.
Any Questions?
Who wants to play with me for the next 5 (or 6) months?
What is your page size and theme?
After sign up I will pm you for full information.
A) Nicky - 8x8 - African Wildlife (nature, animals, people)
B) Corrie04 - 8x8 - sidewalk cracks and blobs made into imaginary creatures or people
http://www.flickr.com/groups/2134325@N22/pool and http://www.carlasonheim.com/sidewalk-cracks. Please note: I do not expect the sidewalk cracks that are on Carla Sonheim's page to be used. Please use any sidewalk crack or "Blob" that you find around your home or work. I was just using that page as an example.
C) Robin - 8x8 - Whimsical Butterflies
D) Evalila - 8x8 - Anything Fantasy (dark and gory would be okay, too)
E) Linda4atc - 8x8 - fantasy, not real. I want you to draw something that inspires you. It could be a lovely
underwater scene with mermaids, A cool scene of a vampire entertaining in his castle, a surreal landscape full of
funny little plants and creatures. If you have an idea and are not sure just ask.
F) Chatty - 8x8 - anything about frogs!!
