Description:

Hello everyone! Okay, time for another swap, so...let's get cracking! This swap is for those of us who are (or would like to get) in touch with our inner goddess...or maybe the topic of goddesses is just interesting to you...or maybe you just admire goddess art.......just think goddess power!!! Everyone will have one partner to which you will send 2 goddess ATCs and 5 inchies containing goddess symbolism (example: the goddess Tara always carries a blue lotus flower in her right hand...so one of the inchies may contain a blue lotus!), a goddess paper doll, 2 fully colored/ decorated goddess pictures, 1 small polymer clay charm of any goddess symbolism, and 1 matchbox shrine dedicated to a goddess of the sender's choice

RULES OF THE GAME:

  • the matchbox shrines must be 32 count size and fully decorated (inside and out) featuring one or more goddesses

  • the ATC's must be 2-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches...obviously, the inchies are to be 1" x 1"

  • the polymer clay charm must already be baked and ready to send, included with it a little note saying what the charm symbolizes, or what it's purpose is

  • be sure to use cardstock or sturdy paper for the cards/ inchies/ paper goddess doll/ and coloring sheets (in case receiver wants to frame them)

  • any medium is fine...but don't just slap a sticker on it and call it good...think of whether you would like to receive this, be sure you put forth a lot of effort

  • goddess paper dolls MUST be printed from the following site (so that we all have the same format), however they will be decorated however you want!: http://www.theenchantedgallery.com/paperdolls.html (just click on the body type sheet you want to use, load cardstock in the printer, and print! :)

  • for the coloring sheets, you will need to print 2 DIFFERENT pictures from any of the following sites, then fully color/ decorate:

  • included somewhere in your package must be a card with your swapbot user ID, the date of the swap, and the swap name (easier for your partner to rate you), a sheet containing the meaning of the inchie symbols and to which goddess they apply, and any goddess background you feel is necessary

also, this swap will be international...all females in all cultures share their goddess connection...I am however, because of all the work this requires, only allowing people (no newbies) with 5 ratings (I will be checking profiles and reserve the right to ban anyone I think is sketchy....and NO FLAKERS, since I won't be able to angel this swap. If you are hoping to receive hearts, you may add extras to the package (though it's not required). You will have ample time after partners are assigned to complete and send, so there is no reason your package should be late! ....so, let's have fun with this! Anyone who has any questions, feel free to message/ PM me! I know I covered a lot of material and I may have left something out...so please ask so that I can correct any mistakes :) One more thing, if anyone has any problems coming up with ideas, I would LOVE to help...I think this is an emotionally healthy swap and would love a lot of people to join!

omg I love this, its on my watchlist!!

Helena8664 03/ 8/2009 #

good! I was concerned that it wouldn't spark interest in anyone...I'm glad you like it! :)

Sharila 03/ 8/2009 #

I had to join this, no doubt about it! Thanks for hosting such a great swap:====)))

Sharila 03/10/2009 #

Helena, I am getting some cold feet here! There are so many crafts we have to make in this swap I have never tried before, and maybe I wont be able to do it right. I love the goddess theme though! I am moving it to my watchlist for now.

Helena8664 03/11/2009 #

hey...don't get cold feet! It seems like a very complex swap, but to sum it up....(the two pics you just print and color- easy, the little clay charm could be a flower - easy, the art doll you just print and color - easy!...) I really hope you consider it, because the way it's going we'll be the only ones joining so far! and if you trade with me, I already have all my things done - and they are cool! :)

I'll move the date forward to get your stuff made. I'm willing to work with members...just remember, I'm still getting used to hosting, and all this stuff you're questioning is very helpful for me to get used to it! :)

Sharila 03/11/2009 #

Hi Helena, ok you got me!! Hehe, I am very tempted to do this. Can you tell me how a matchbox shrine should be made?

Looking forward to swap with you:)

Helena8664 05/15/2009 #

due to high demand...yes, I realize there's only 3 of us...I've decided to extend the send date...check above. thanks! :)
