Description:

Thank you for allowing me to host my first swap in this group. I hope many of you will find this intriguing! I'm also doing this swap (for a skinny instead of an ATC) in the Carpe Librum group.


When I read a book, there are times a sentence jumps out at me, and sparks an image in my mind that I can easily see how I could create a piece of art from it. The image here is an ATC I made when I first came up with the idea last year.

For this group's first Sentence swap, I'll ask that you make an ATC using a sentence from a book you're reading or have read in the past.

Use ONE sentence - you don't have to put the sentence on the front, but you do have to let your partner know what the sentence is, the book's name, and the book's author. I'll give plenty of time for you to find one in the book you're currently reading, or to scan through a favourite one.

My sentence (for the ATC I made above) was, "Once I lived in a place where demons lived". I'm afraid I don't remember what the book's name was, or the author - it's probably on a piece of paper somewhere.

I don't do the ratings requirement thing, because we're in a group. But, I do check before assigning. Please make something according to the normal SB rules. Senders choice on artistic genre - hand painted, paper collage, ink, etc, etc.

Because this is a trial to see who would be interested in the "artsy" types of book related swaps, I'm going to make it international. I'm Canadian, but from what I've heard, it costs the same to send to me from the US, as it does to Europe. Is this true? It costs me quite a bit more to send overseas than it does to the States.

Please join! This can be so much fun, simply because the same sentence for one person can be understood (and imagined) so differently from person to person.

IN the USA it cost us $1.15 to send one ounce or less internationally to any country. To me that is reasonable. For that price you can often send 2-3 ATC cards and/or some nice extras. I like to get international swappers because well they are great artists.

It costs Canadians $1.20 to send to the US, and $2.50 to send anywhere else. It sucks.

We used to get a discount to send to Canada but they made all international the same. I think our postal system is lacking in efficiency and money management.
