CPG: ICM Deco #341835 - Global

Global

• You must have a reliable mail service and can generally expect international mail to arrive within 5 weeks.

A deco is sent around from artist to artist. Each person that receives the deco will decorate one page according to the theme of the booklet (if there is one) and put their contact information and name/username on their entry. Typically, each entrant in the “deco” must use one side of a page to express themselves. If a deco owner would like people to do a 2-page spread, please note it on your deco.

• 1 index card mini decos for 1 partner. (Editted from 2 to 1 on Feb 13). You can send 2 if your partner is OK with two.

• Booklet size: 2.5"x3"

• Any stage: New, established, or homers

Established decos

Make sure the deco isn't made for or by your partner and that your partner has not signed or passed on the deco.

New ICM decos

• Fold an index card (or card-weight paper - 5" x 3") in half to make a little 2.5" X 3" book cover.

• Choose whatever theme you would like (including open-theme), sender's choice.

• The front and back covers (and inside front and back covers if you choose) are yours to decorate and add info like your username, email, swap name, and return mailing address.

• Include just 1 or 2 folded pages that are bound in the middle. I highly recommend only 1 folded sheet so the booklet doesn't get too thick to close. 1 folded sheet provides 4-6 pages to fill. Also the inner folded page should not be cardstock. Regular printer paper weighted paper works well. A few established ICMs that I've received were too thick to close, especially those with cardstock/index card for inner pages, and those that had 6-8 pages to fill.

No blank comments please.

When you rate your partner's deco, please describe the deco you've received.
