Swap Due Date - January 8, 2025
postage date for internationals - December 11
I live in Australia - mail will NOT reach me quickly! I suggest you allow at least 4 weeks
Number of Cards - 3:3 or 6:6
Number of participants - unlimited
Medium - any and all but each card MUST contain an obvious element made from a COMPLETE hexagon/hexagons

These could range from the obvious use of: mosaic floor tile, honeycomb, white section of a soccer ball (the black parts are pentangles), earrings, table tops or shelves, a nut and the top of a bolt, make a succession of hexagons into a caterpillar, use a hexagon for a snail/ hermit crab shell. Or try something a little trickier like: the compound eyes of an insect, snowflakes or. . . surprise me

So you can plan ahead here is the final part of this series (due on the 8th) - February - Ovals

Please include a background for your hexagons. Plain white backgrounds will be returned unswapped.

Postage:
International players: a well hidden US$2 OR a Global Forever stamp
Australian players: a $1.50 stamp
Start a conversation to ask for my address when you are ready to mail your cards. If you have an address in Robina, Queensland I am still there.

ALL players please include a LARGE address label, I will provide envelopes.

1. Do your best work - I plan to swap effort-for-effort as much as I can.
2. Clearly write your USERNAME and the SWAP NAME on the back of all your cards (so you can get Rep comments) and on the back of your mailing envelope. I am running a few swaps and do not want to put you with the wrong returns.
3. Please mail early to allow time to reach Australia.
4. An extra card for the swap Host is greatly appreciated but is not required.
5. I will give Feedback when I receive your cards and will update this post. In return I encourage you to give Host Feedback to me when you receive your swap returns, and Rep comments to the artists whose cards you receive. After all, knowing where your cards have gone is half the fun, I think.

Pamitha - I am happy for you to use a pattern of your own but the hexagons MUST be obvious. Could you show your first card in the thread so that we can agree?
welcome Tillygo and Betsyg - I have added a few more suggestions to my first post. I hope that something there inspires you
 
I am going to have to withdraw! I have run out of time. I am getting my left knee replaced on Friday, December 6. I had hoped to finish my hexagons over the weekend but it didn't happen. I have too much that has to come in front of art cards to get them ready to mail before the surgery. I know from previous experience that it will be a couple of weeks before I can get down the stairs to my craft room. Sorry to withdraw! I have enjoyed the series!
 
Betsyg - no problems with withdrawing, more important to look after yourself. I am so glad that you enjoyed the series - I always enjoyed seeing what animals you could make from each shape :yes:
Hopefully this replacement leads to more pain-free movement between upstairs and your craft room, and in general.

for those who have not told me that they have mailed yet - don't forget that my recommended mailing date is next Wednesday 11th
