The point of these prompts is that sometimes we just need a swift kick in the inspirational rear when it comes to working in our art journals.

Prompt 1 Describe a place you've never been before, where would you go and why?

Prompt 2 Write your feelings at the moment of creating this page, color over it and create a light and dark page.

Quantity: create TWO art journal pages and receive two back. 2 for 2.

Size of the pages: 5"x7"

Margin: leave a 1" margin on the left of the page free from embellishment. This margin is meant for binding.

Orientation: Horizontal Only!

Finish the back of each page you create, with your art or with patterned paper. State your swap-bot name, real name, the themes of the pages and the name of the swap on the back of each page. Nice is if you sum up the mediums/technique you used.

Art journal pages is a way to express yourself. But leaving pages white/gray of just slapping some paint on a page is too easy. So get it and be very, very, very creative. Keep the quality high!!

Any kind of cardstock can be used (please recycle; time is financially tough, so buying is not necessary!!), but of course it is sender's choice. On art journal pages water is a normal addition to mediums, so use scrap cardstock which is sturdy enough to carry the water layers on it. Please be sure that the cardstock is of substantial weight, because these pages may eventually be bound into a journal.

P.s: any ideas for prompts are welcome; just send me a message. I am willing to host.

Note: this time we will have two partners to send to.

Have fun!

Lucine: OK, so prior to this swap, we made two pages, one prompt each for 1 partner. Do we make 2 pages for each partner? Or one? Or is there a typo somewhere as it says, "make 2 pages and get 2 back?" Thanks for hosting this swap, Just need some clarification please. Sherry

Sherry, we will create one page for each partner. We will receive two pages back >>> make 2 pages, receive 2 back. You're welcomeรขหœยบ

Lucine, Having 2 partners is a new process as of this swap, right? How do we keep from ending up with two of the same prompt?

bmyers08 09/ 6/2012 #

I wondered the same, how do we avoid getting 2 of the same prompt?

Lucine 09/ 7/2012 #

@ aguasulis, bmyers08: It is possible that some of us will receive two page with the same theme on it. The pages won't be exactly the same, since they're created by different participants. I don't mind that, but let me know what you thinkรขหœยบ

Let me know if the two partners is not working. I will change the next swap back to one partner.

I like one partner with two pages best. it seems much less confusing.

Lucine 09/22/2012 #

@cynaemon I'll consider that in the swaps of next year. Thank you for letting me know what works better for youรขหœยบ
