Is anyone else feeling a little...bottled up? It's time to express some of those quarantine feelings with fairies! This swap is for fairies who are inside containers.
☆ Fairy and Container Guidelines ☆
- Each card needs to have at least one fairy in some kind of container.
- The style of the fairy is up to you - you could have a classic sparkly wings fairy, a grumpy goth fairy, a pineapple fairy, a snoozing fairy, an angry fairy trying to break out of their container, etc.
- The type of container is also your choice - you could go with a classic bottle, a terrarium, a tupperware container, a teacup, a lantern, a cereal box, etc.
- If you go for a non-transparent container, make sure you can still tell there's a fairy inside. The container doesn't need to be sealed.
- You can add other things to your container if you like. Maybe the fairy needs a chair or some knitting?
- White backgrounds are ok for this swap, but be thoughtful about them. Even a little bit of shadow under a container or a tint to a bottle can make a big difference!
☆ Card Guidelines☆
- Cards must be either entirely hand-drawn/painted OR any media (no digital/prints). I'll put you in open media unless you specify which group you want. You can join both groups if you want to.
- On the back of the card, add both your username and real name (please include both! It makes the swapping/rating process much less complicated).
- Make sure your cards are 2.5" x 3.5", and are made from sturdy paper. (If you can easily bend it into a "U", it's too floppy.)
- As always, I'll do my best to swap effort for effort.
- Host cards are very appreciated but never necessary!
☆ Mailing ☆
- Please PM me for my address when you're ready to mail your cards. I moved in February, so please make sure you have my updated address! (If you aren't sure, my new house number ends in a 5.)
- Protect your cards: put each of your cards in a plastic sleeve and secure them inside the envelope, either by taping them together or taping them to a card/piece of paper.
- Include a large, clearly written address label with your address, including your country. (You can send an envelope if you prefer, but don't attach postage to it unless it's Canadian postage.)
- I live in Canada, so unless you're Canadian, this will be an international swap for you. I suggest allowing 2 weeks mailing time to be safe.
- That said, with the current state of the world, I am being flexible about deadlines. Don't stress too much - worse case, I'll just return your cards to you.
- If your country stops accepting international mail: please let me know, and I'll hold your returns until mail service resumes.
- Important note about returns: mail from Canada typically takes about 2 weeks to arrive internationally (which includes mail to the USA). It can occasionally take significantly longer, more like 4-6 weeks - if you join the swap, make sure you're prepared for that possibility! I suspect delays more likely to happen right now, but I'm not sure. The cards will still arrive safely despite any delays - just post to the thread so I know to keep it open.
☆ Postage ☆
- Canada: include a permanent domestic stamp.
- USA: if at all possible, please use Paypal to send $2. If that isn't an option, you can include a global forever stamp - the round one that looks like a succulent. (I can use these in other swaps.) Please don't send cash or any other type of postage. Don't attach your stamp to an envelope.
- International: if at all possible, please use Paypal to send $3. If that isn't an option, a USA global forever stamp works (I can use these in other swaps). If neither of these options works for you, PM me and we can figure out something else.
