Feedback: +4479 / =0 / -0
Swap Due Date -September 8
postage date for internationals - August 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 and obvious element made from a COMPLETE triangle/triangles

This is NOT an abstract swap, the triangles need to be part of something. These could range from the obvious use of: Christmas/pine trees, banners/ flags, hats (wizard/witch, dunce, party), mountains or sails. Or try something slightly trickier like spikes on the back of a crocodile/ Loch Ness monster, stars, Pinocchio's long nose, fox's face or. . . surprise me.

stars trees monster spikes/head/tail fox face and ears

I am hoping to make a series of things made from different shapes so here are my proposed future topics. All swaps will be due on the 8th of the month.
October - Semi-circles, November - Rectangles, December - Hearts, January - Hexagons, February - Ovals

Please include a background for your triangles. Plain white backgrounds will be returned unswapped. Post to the thread to sign up.

Postage:
Australian players: a $1.50 stamp
International players: a well hidden US$2 OR a Global Forever 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 here.

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 envelopes. 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.

Sign me up, please!

There are soooo many things you can make with triangles, I'm looking forward to working on the cards.
 
welcome to you all. Sorry not to have been here for a while but my sisters are visiting from Victoria and it has been quite a while since we have been able to get together

mybrokenart - I LOVE your Escher triangle! I can see the triangles on your pumpkins but I am unsure about the other 2. If the first one is mountains they would be more obvious as a single unit rather than broken up and the top right card is gorgeous, but abstract. I am asking for things that are made from triangles.

My sisters suggested: books leaning in a bookshelf (the gap under them is a triangle), the hat you pull out of a Christmas cracker, a duck's foot, the nose of a rocket, the tail of an airplane, some postage stamps, make a quilt pattern from various triangles.

REMEMBER - triangles come in many formations, some much more elongated than others, they do not have to be 1/2 a square. You will be amazed at how many things have triangles in them when you start looking.

Well, shoot. I didn't realize it couldn't be a little abstract. The 'sunburst' card is made from many triangles out of hand painted paper and the other 'mountian' card is fully abstract.
I will make replacements for them. If they don't reach you in time, I will withdraw. Sorry for the confusion.

Tillygo and Luk - your gorgeous creations were in the pile of mail waiting for me when I returned from a quick, birthday visit to Melbourne.

For those who have not mailed yet - my suggested mailing date is August 11 and that is NEXT WEEK!
