Squiggle Swap—What Do YOU See?
Several years ago I bought a desktop page-a-day calendar with a squiggle on every page. The idea was to doodle an image every day using the squiggle as an integral part of your drawing. Just about everyone has played this game at some time to entertain a child, yes? Well, I’ve enjoyed that calendar immensely, but I’ve never finished it..(think October)….. or the kakuro calendar either… but I digress. Lately I’ve been wondering how a group of artistic sorts might see different images stemming from the same squiggle.
As soon as this swap goes live I will post seven squiggle starting points. You may choose the ones that speak to you and either print them or redraw them to create your own squiggle prompt. This is really fun if you get into it. You may complete your image as a line drawing or you may sketch around it and add color/paint if thats what you see. Let your imagination flow! The point is to relax and enjoy creating.
Rules
- All cards should be 2.5” x 3.5” and sturdy, with straight edges.
- All cards should be sent in individual plastic sleeves.
- Each card must feature a DIFFERENT squiggle.
- You may decrease squiggle size by ½ if you desire but no more. (We’re not looking for a series of ladies with squiggly earrings.)
- Please leave your squiggle BOLD/BLACK enough that we can see it.
- There is no up, down or sideways. Flip the squiggle in any direction that makes sense to you.
- No zentangle please.
- Please include username, real name, and swap name on the back of your cards.
- Please keep cards flat—these are images only… NO EMBELLISHMENTS
- Host cards are never required, but I would definitely cherish any you send! Any squiggle is fine here... even if you have already used it on another card.
Postage (United States)
Please include a SASE or a large address sticky label and a forever stamp for 3 cards… add an additional ounce or second stamp for 6. I’m glad to provide the envelope if you prefer.
Postage (International)
Please include a SASE or a large address label and $1 (3 cards) or $2 (6 cards) well concealed.
Other Info
Please message me for my address when you are ready to mail and post to the thread when you send your cards. If you already have my address, it has not changed.
When your cards arrive to me I will mark 'received' by your name. I will also notify you in the thread.
When you receive your returns, please leave iTrader for me and rep points for the artists. I will imbed each name in the roster with a hyperlink to make this part easier. I will also leave iTrader for each of you.
