Moulin Rouge/Green Fairy Absinthe - Tip In - Int'l

This is an international swap. You will have 2 partners and make 2 tip-in pages for each of them (2 x 2 = 4 total tip-in pages.) The size of these pages will be 4 inches by 4 inches. The left half inch margin should not be embellished with anything heavy. The margin can be decorated but should be flat so your partner can punch binding holes if they want to do so.

A tip-in is a page designed so it can either be inserted into another book or bound along one edge. You are encouraged to use fibers and other embellishments on the page to make it "chunky"...just remember that the left 1/2 inch should be flat.

You'll make each of your partners 2 pages. The first 4x4 page will be Moulin Rouge themed: vintage cabaret & Can-Can girls, Paris in the early 1900s, Toulouse Lautrec, the red windmill, or scenes inspired by the Moulin Rouge movies. The second 4x4 page will be Absinthe and/or Green Fairy themed. You decide whether you send identical designs to both partners or whether all 4 of your pages are different -- but your partner should end up with 2 pages, one for each theme.

Your pages will be 4 inches x 4 inches each. Your tip-in paper should be sturdy cardstock. These pages will be handled, so use good heavy stuff. You can draw, paint, collage, sew, do digital -- it's your choice.
