Welcome to OddBalls swap #1

This is being organized through the group "OddBalls" - please feel welcome to join if you like, either the swap or the group!

INternational, no no-sends allowed, newbies with completely filled out profile...I will screen those with lower ratings, but not ban before receiving an explanation.

OK...on to the good stuff....

Those of us who are attracted to the term 'oddball' know why! We all have our eccentricities which make us stand out in delightful ways. These are traits that make up who we are, and we are 'oddballs' because we dont tend to follow norms, trends or traditional ideas.

SWAP INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Send a letter collage, kind of like a story with pictures, of who you are as a wonderful oddball - AT least two full notebook pages, or one page double sided.

2) Find something in your partner's profile to send them - make sure its new - newly made by you, or new from a store - please avoid Dollar store and Walmart-type things. Make sure the item is oddly unique to them.

Because this is international, and requires lots of creativity and thoughtfulness, you will be given a month to complete everything!

What is a letter collage?

It's a letter you write with collaged images on it - I just made it up for this swap- so its whatever you want to make of it really. Think of a picture book - lots of pictures, not a lot of text.

I'm still confused about this letter but I guess I a rebus type letter would work wouldn't it.

A Rebus is a representation of words or syllables by pictures of objects or by symbols whose names resemble the intended words or syllables in sound; also : a riddle made up of such pictures or symbols. Add a few pictures of yourself in there doing something you consider oddball and your all set I think.

Does that sound right?
