This will be the very first time I am going to create something myself... The idea came up in my mind and it was too awsome (well, at least I think so ;-) ) to let it go, so I will just give it a try... I never ever draw, craft or paint - so who ever gets me as partner... give me some credit, okay? ;-)

So, here's the idea...

I bet everyone has this one favourite famous painting of all times.

Let's reproduce it - but you can do that however you want. You can draw it, paint it, use all kinds of materials you want, use paper, fabric, make a postcard, a T-shirt, a tote bag, a collage, a pendant, sew it, knit it, ...

The ideas are endless...!

Also try to find a poem that matches the painting you are reproducing and include it in some way as well. It can be a famous poem, but you're also allowed to write your own.

I'm giving this a lot of time, to give everyone enough time to think about this, to sign up and to complete it and do a good job.

Since this is time intensive AND the first time I'm doing something like this and I don't want to be flaked on (of course I don't want it for anyone), I'm expecting you will have at least 15 completed and rated swaps ( no e-mails) and a rating of at least 4.9 .

Anyone who doesn't have enough ratings right now, please put this on your watchlist and join when you get the 15 ratings.

Anyone who has less than 4.9 and wants to join anyway, please contact me first and we'll see what we can do.

I will check profiles and anyone with strange 3's or 1's will be banned.

Good idea! Does it have to be an exact copy of the painting or 'inspired by' the painting? Could we take out favorite aspect of the painting and re-create that somehow?

You have to recognize the painting very well but you can add some of your own inpiration... :-) Not very sure what you meant exactly with your second question?

Oh ok, I understand x

Does it have to be a famous artist?

Lieve 06/15/2010 #

"Famous" is different for everyone I guess... If you think it's a painting that might not be well known, try to include a card or a picture from the original, so that your partner can see where you got your inspiration from :-) But it has to be from a known artist (even if only known in your country), so not something your uncle painted (even if your uncle is a better artist then Van Gogh f.i.)
