Description:

An Apothecary is an archaic word meaning pharamacist, so an Apothecary Cabinet is simply the place where the pharamacist stores his medicines/chemicals/medical tools etc. I have been fascinated with these since I can remember.

So I thought a handmade PC that looks like a apothecary cabinet would be fun.

  • 1 partner - 1 Handmade PC

  • The front should look as if you were looking into the actual cabinet and able to see all the VINTAGE/OLD/MACABRE goodies inside it. HERE - HERE and HERE are a few examples.

  • Any medium you would like. . .hand-drawn, painted, collaged it is up to you as long as the "feel" of the PC is old and eerie.

  • Absolutely 100% Sender's Choice. So you can get this done and set it aside until time to mail. : )

Please post in the comment area if you are able to send/receive naked handmade PCs ( I know some parts of the world can't). Your partner will cater the way they mail it for you and will understand if you have to mail it in an envie. I just don't want anyone to feel excluded

Also if you have any questions, just post them. Other people probably have the same questions. I am sure I forgot some key elements, although most of you in this group have joined my swaps before. LOL.

I am setting a long sign up deadline, because I don't want to risk the Holiday Mail Hoopla that is coming up soon. So...you have plenty of time to join and create.

Flaker BS here (I am sure this won't be a problem though)

Hey Paige if we send naked we can"t add what we want as embellishments do you agree?

Paige1900 11/25/2012 #

You can send embellished PCs through the mail "naked", You just have to make sure you have your post office mark it as Hand-Cancel only. Also make sure that you use "mostly" flattish embellishments.

Paige1900 11/25/2012 #

Oops I also meant to add to make sure you use a really good glue.

I sent an envelope through the mail earlier this year (to Canada!) with small seashells glued all over it. I was both amazed and relieved when it arrived intact. :D

I would prefer to send and receive mine in an envie.

I will most likely draw and color in some way because I have a collection of little old bottles.

I am able to send/receive naked mail. I will take Timothy Olyphant naked please! Dressed as Raylan! But if his..um..large embellishments get in the way, he might have to be sent in an envelope.
