Altered Cigar Box

Okay Ladies and Gents: it's time to get our craft on...

For this swap you will have one partner and you will alter one cigar box for them. This is an US only swap to keep shipping cost as low as possible. this is also a senders choice so you can start working on your box as soon as you sign up. REQUIREMENTS: Box... this is a swap for an altered cigar box, NOT a plain wood box get at a craft store but a WOOD cigar box that you can get either for free or for a small fee at your local smoke shop or from your crazy cigar smoking Uncle Jimmy... the box has to be wood, not the cardboard/chipboard or metal ones...wood. It CAN be any size, so long as it was once a cigar box used for storing multiple cigars. Remember that this is senders choice however, it is always nice to add a little something that let's your partner know you've read their profile. Also, both the outside and the inside have to be altered using at least three different techniques. Examples of techniques couild be collage, paint, stamp, embellish and so on... You DO NOT need to make a diarama or a mini shrine or anything like that (unless you want to), but there does need to be some altering done to the inside of the box. If you need inspiration just google altered cigar boxes and you can find lots of examples and tutorials, and of course you can always message me if you want :) SWAPPERS: To join this swap you must have a rating of 4.8 with NO 1s and NO 3s within the last 3 months. Also, you must have at least 5 type 3 swaps under your belt. If for some reason you so not meet these requirements but you still would like to join please message me (don't just comment me but send me an actual message explaining your circumstances). RATING: This is a senders choice swap and although they are boxes they are also pieces of art and therefore subjective. If you recieve a box in the mail and it was sent by the send date and it is altered with at least three different techniques and it was originally a cigar box, that is a five. However, this is an opportunity to get super crafty and creative so let's really go the extra mile and try for hearts. I have seen and recieved some truly insired and inspiring art from these swaps and I KNOW that we can create some AMAZING boxes sooooooo LET'S GET CRAFTY!!!!

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments feel free to let me know... Happy Swapping :)
