Quotidian Collages

This is the first swap for the DYD group--yay! I made the sign-up deadline some time in the future so that it would be a possible (and hopefully inviting?) swap for group members as they join, but since it's not a profile-specific swap, you can start working on yours right away if you'd like.

For this swap, create two collages that incorporate bits and pieces of your daily life. You can approach this in one of two ways: you could collect remnants throughout one particular day, or you could use things that are typical of your days in general. It's up to you. And then write a letter explaining each collage; send one letter and one collage to each partner.

You can use whatever you want in your collage, but remember that you might be sending internationally so there may be postal restrictions. I imagine that most of us will use assorted paper stuff, but I don't want anyone to feel locked in to that if they have other ideas.

Your collage should be at least 4 inches by 5 inches, and your corresponding letter should help the recipient to understand why you included what you did.

I'm hoping that this swap will give us permission/incentive to make sense of our days in a different sort of way....

Anyone in the group is welcome to join!

And finally, credit where credit's due: A year and a half ago, ChristineMM ran a similar swap for ATCs. I was relatively new to ATCs and swap-bot at the time so I didn't participate, but the idea intrigued me and stayed in my mind. Christine's not swapping much on swap-bot these days, but the idea lives on...!
