I think the next project is tentatively being wrangled by Stepfordfemme with a due date of July 15th. People who sign up have to be willing to stick exactly to the due date because we have a member of our group who lives in China who will only be staying in Canada for a specific amount of time (The idea is to make sure she gets her package during that window of time she is in Canada). So please to anyone who considers signing up, this is one where you cannot be late at all! Thanks!

Stepfordfemme has not yet posted the new project or a sign up and is welcome to do so whenever she wants of course :). So stay tuned!

To further clarify, the member who wishes to participate while she is in Canada is Sis, and the member who tentatively volunteered to wrangle to help make things go smoothly since she herself lives in Canada is Stepfordfemme.

And to further further clarify :), the projects have to get to Stepfordfemme BY July 15th, absolutely no later! Earlier is fine though.

Has a sign up list happened yet? Did I over-read it and didn't see it? Or am I just being paranoid? :|

You're being paranoid. As usual.

I don't know about all of you, but I'm hooked on projects. I'm going to throw this out and if more than me likes this idea, I'm going to give it a whirl.

How about a project before the July project? I have ideas!


nycfem 04-30-2014 09:22 PM

I'm down with that, Besame! Go for it!

Thank you. I can't for the life of me get it to work in my signature. I can get it to work in a post, just not the signature. It remains a mystery I guess!

I know you all have done inches and half-inchies but can you give an idea of some of the other projects you all have done? I know I can go back in this thread and look but I seem to remember that there might have been a thread like this on the Dash site.

Either way, what was one of your favorite projects? I can see why people love to do this. I had a good time doing mine and can't wait to see everyone else's!

A project that I LOVED to do was when we exchanged decorated Altoid tins. We only made one to share with the next person on the list but it was so much fun! I'm made several tins since and they have become cherished 'heirloom's for the recipients. I would love to do one of these exchanges again.

THAT is a good one!!! I love decorating tins. :) I enjoy doing more labor-intensive trades where you might only end up getting one back for the one you made, but the results can be really amazing concentrating on one piece. I'd love to do an art swap like that--where each person makes one art piece and gets on back. But yeah--I would be wicked excited about altoid tins.

My favorite was amiyesiam's triptych art (quote is below). No theme, but wow...did it get creative with each one I made, and to see each one made by others, was creativity at it's best, amazing.


Hoping others can add to it. Back in the day..2010....to the best of my recollection at 4:00 AM.

Gemme...started us out with Passion. Whatever your passion was, kept to a size of 4 x 5 or 6 inches..Most projects were limited to that size, not numbers of sign-ups, for reasons of postage when you get 10 to 15 or 20 of us. :). For me, The more the merrier , because, it is such fun to see what a group of creativity in a postage envelope looks like when opened. Some projects were limited due to complexity, etc.

Themes of "Words", colors, cards, magnets, and whatever you made was with your own creativity, your hobby.
Titles such as Passion, Written Word, Secrets, favorite things, favorite quotes.
We did the color green,
We have made jewelry, and crafts, to the themes...
Spring
Post cards
Photographs
Holiday themes of Halloween, Valentines Day, etc.
Every year we have donated created or fun items (whatever )for a PenPal Thread Basket for the Raffle :)

and ..the Altoid tins...we did more than one though, like 6 to 10??, for everyone that signed up.(empties provided by the wrangler).

My favorite was amiyesiam's triptych art. It was awesome.

I will be wrangling this one (my first)

We will be doing something different this round.

There is no theme

People will sign up. There is an absolute limit of 10 plus me, due to cost to me. (sorry) sign up will close March 7. You will also have to send me your address if I do not have it. (please assume I don’t have it) Please do not sign up if you don’t think you will be able to finish, usually these projects are just about one’s own time and $. This round involves my $, so I have a opinion!

After sign ups I will be sending those 10 people a package containing the exact same materials! I will mail them out March 9th.

Everyone will have 3 weeks to complete their project (more info below)
Everyone will then mail the completed project back to me with the $5.00. It should be post marked by March 31st.

I will then sort and mail the packages out within 3 days.


The project
I thought it would be cool to send everyone the exact same materials and see what everyone does with them. I think that when it is all done, a lot of us are gonna look at what others did, and damn why didn’t I think of that LOL.

Here are the parameter's of the project:

everyone starts with their base card. It is black. You must use it. It is a triptych card. (google it!) You CAN alter this card, but it must be your base. I gave you extra cards in case of mistakes and a template if needed.

you must use the materials included. You DO NOT have to use all of them. The materials are varied and can lend themselves to multiple directions.

You DO NOT have to make all your cards the same. You can, if you want, make them all different. If you want to make them for specific people, put their name on it.

The only materials you can use that are not included:
adhesives, glue, tape etc

pens, pencils, markers, pastels, charcoals, paints, watercolors, stenciling, and stamping

THank you.

I am always fascinated to see things I wrote, did years ago. Having just reread my post my first thought was ~I sound so organized and focused. :superfunny: Maybe, kinda, sorta, on a good day:|


Maybe I will wrangle another one, later in the year. (Maybe means I will think about it, I don't know yet)

Ye gods, I just thought of a brilliant idea! Off to write it down. (insert angel wings and halo here)

On my desk
 
Also have that green card stock fold out box,with a lid with nice words that you made.

Don't know what the project title or theme was,

That was ages ago. The letter magnets you did are on the fridge.
