Description:

So wolfeagle is getting me into the art doll thing and I have noticed a distinct lack of neat pieces in my stash to use. Would love to try some more in my jewelry too so I decided to do this swap. For this one you will put together a package of found objects for your partner to use in their art. For example : old keys, bottle caps, pieces of wire, cool ephemera, tarnished silverware, old stamps. I have noticed that these days one has to get really creative on finding "found" objects so if you have to hit your local thrift store or de-stash your Dad's garage that is fine. We all have a panache for scavenging don't we? No rules on how it was found, just nothing "NEW". Fill up a 6X9 Envie or small box, whatever will work best for your items. Make sure you package it really well so it doesn't fall apart en route at the post office. Also make sure things have been cleaned up (Patina is good but no stray spider webs please!). You'll have 4 weeks to hunt stuff down so everybody can send really cool things. Anybody in good standing in the group is welcome to join.
