Description:

In this swap, let's recycle some wood and create Recycled Wood Blocks. Kind of like a Chunky ATC, or decorated piece of wood, but the size could be a little bigger or smaller. You can make your wood pieces 2.5 x 3.5 or 2 x 4 or anything in betweeen 2in-3in x 3in-5in inches. Basically a small wood block, that you then decorate for your partner.

You can then decorate it in any fashion you like, using any materials but it needs to be nicely made. You could even make a roof and make a little house, or add feet, or decorate it like you would an ATC. Each side of the wood block must be decorated in some way. Sign and date the bottom, if you can. You can Not put a sticker and some ric rac on the block and send that as finished. Do your best work.

This month: Wood Blocks inspired by your partner's profile. This month, read your partners profile, and make them a wood block based off of something on their profile. For example, if they like shabby chic design...you could choose to make a shabby chic wood block. If they like Halloween, you could choose to make a Halloween inspired wood block.

Here are the google images for Chunky ATC.

If there is interest, we can do this with a monthly theme..what do you think? and if you like, what themes would you like? These are great because they can stand on their own and be displayed.

USA only due to size. Please have a filled out profile and no recent unexplained low ratings.

Should the wood block be like a small cut piece of lumber? Or should it be a found piece of wood like we find on the beach?

As long as it is a small wood block like shape, it can be any type of wood. I personally would love it if someone used driftwood. I use scrap construction wood. At every construction site, they throw away so much wood in to the trash. I just ask the workers if I can have their scrap pieces, and they always say yes.
