4x4 Mosaic Pages

We don't have any open page swaps at the moment, and we have several new members, so I thought I'd run a nice easy page swap.

Mosaic pages give a huge range of things you can do with them, from purely abstract collage to themed patchwork background. Your mosaics should be made of 4x4 1-inch squares of paper, and you should add some sort of embellishments or design on top of the mosaic. You will be making 1 page each for 5 partners, so not too taxing but enough to start a book ;)

(I've done a swap like this before - the swap image is what I made last time. Nathalie's Flickr pool has some other lovely examples - this is my favourite.)

The pages should be 4" x 4.5" with the leftmost 0.5" left unembellished. (Some people cut this part off, others will use it for binding or punching, so it may not be seen and needs to fit into a binding machine or hole punch.) You should use paper that is very thick, or card. Although you don't need to decorate the back of the page, please do at least cover it with some nice paper so that it doesn't look out of place in a final bound book.

**NB: I've only left a fortnight for sending, but this includes 2 weekends, and as it's only 5 pages and doesn't need to be tailored to your partners, this should helpfully be fine!

Rules:

• Newbies welcome. The group does ask that you jump into the world of chunk books by joining a multi-partner page swap before committing to a full book, so this is ideal. Experienced chunky page artists also welcome, 'natch!
• Rating of at least 4.8 with no recent no sends.
• International, 5 partners.
• Flakers will not be allowed to join any further group swaps until after they have made good on any swaps outstanding.

Any questions, please PM me or comment :)
