Zentangle Bookmark #2 International Swap

Ok everyone, for our second zentangle bookmark swap, I've decided to make this one international.

Each participant will have 1 partner, and make 1 handmade zentangle bookmark and send it to that partner.

The design/theme will be SENDERS CHOICE. Wherever your pen, pencil or marker takes you :) You can choose to do only one side, or both sides, it's up to you.

I'm going to push the signup date up to January due to the holiday season being busy for some people. You can still work on your bookmark in the meantime if you like, but we will not have our partners assigned until Jan, 2011.

Please Note A bookmark sleeve is NOT necessary for this swap. The picture above does show one, but you don't need to have one. You can use one if you like, as well you can laminate your bookmark if you like, or add a tassle, but none of these are a requirement. It's up to the creator.

• What is Zentangle?

Zentangle is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. It is a fascinating new art form that is fun and relaxing. It increases focus and creativity. Zentangle provides artistic satisfaction and an increased sense of personal well being. Zentangle is enjoyed by a wide range of skills and ages and is used in many fields of interest.

We believe that life is an art form and that Zentangle is an elegant metaphor for deliberate artistry in life. Explore our web site and learn how you can use this wonderful and uplifting discovery.

• IMPORTANT DETAILS

The bookmark should measure between 2 x 7 to 2 x 8 inches ( this size fits into a standard bookmark sleeve ). Also, the bookmark should be made with a material that is somewhat sturdy ( for example, cardstock, bristol board or watercolor paper. ) We would like them to hold up both in the mail, and also for those who would like to use them in their books :)

It is OK if you don't have a sleeve for your bookmark that you send. Please make sure to package it well so it will not be damaged in transit.

Participants MUST have a 4.9 rating or higher, with no recent 1's or 3's to join this swap. I reserve the right to ban swappers who I believe may be detrimental to the swap. Please have your profile filled out before joining. People who are new and appear somewhat anonymous will not be able to participate.

Have fun!
