In this swap, you will use colored paper scraps (from a magazine, junk mail, scrapbooking paper, wrapping paper, etc) to form a paper mosaic ATC for your one partner. You can cut the paper into small squares, circles, etc, and then use them to "paint"/create an image on the ATC.

There are many examples of paper mosaics on the web. Here are just a few.

I am a high school teacher and would like to know I could enter a few of my students in the swap. My only concern is that cards received be PG-rated. I would hate for my students to receive something that I couldn't give them if they gave up their art. Is this swap open to me/us even though we are brand new to this?

PG-rated? Are they in high school, or elementary school? I sincerely doubt someone's gonna pull an Origin of the World, especially in paper mosaic!

Have their helicopter parents sign a form if the school's that worried about it.

@sueYDI Each person who signs up for a swap, in turn gets one swap partner. You could not sign up your class members for this swap or any other swap. Though I have heard of websites for teachers, so you can do class project exchanges. Something like that would probably be a better match. Good luck to you.

OMG. I just spent three hours working on my ATC, and there's still a ton left to do. It's looking pretty cool... I just had no idea if would take so long! Wow!

@halfdeserted I would love to see what you made.

Made mine today. Took hours, perhaps doesn't seem like it but sure did =)
Perhaps I have to make a little more to it tomorrow when the glue is dry.
This was a blast!
