I think I'm right in saying that @AndrewLips has hosted something like this before.. so credit right there!

The main idea for this swap is a kind of free-for-all - choose a medium or the mediums you like working with and GO FOR IT!

Okay.. so, I'd like this to be as inclusive as possible so there is no obligation to spend more than the absolute minimum here, plus postage. Recycled, reclaimed, dumpster-dived [sp?!] or charity-shopped materials are encouraged but not necessary.

So, there is no minimum spend whatsoever, but a minimum time requirement. The absolute minimum time you can spend on your package is 2 hours. If you spend two hours on something and it doesn't seem much, feel free to send photocopies of drawings/photos/zines etc. you've made before to supplement. The time can be spent on one item [eg a whole new zine] or on many things [loads of hand-drawn button badges, or a collection of little things?]

Ideas include but are not limited to [off the top of my head!]: Zines, drawings, photos, recycled notebooks, plushies, DIY jewellery, comics, knitted/crochet things, altered doll, stationery, mix CD with hand-designed cover [make sure it's not copyright protected or you're VERY VERY VERY BAD!]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and 'ban' the things like run-of-the-mill fairies, or Disney-esque crapola and the like. Just because I can and I hate that stuff myself. Ahah.
