The edit in the title refers to the send-by date which has been extended to the end of March. The swap has also been made slightly more flexible so that doodles do not need to be strictly daily, and doodles doodled in March as well as February are now acceptable.

Swap description: A Doodle a Day zine challenge

For the month of February, draw a doodle a day!
Accompany each day's doodle with a brief note about it e.g. “I've been wanting to try out zentangles for ages – this is my first attempt!” or “I had eggs for breakfast, so I drew a chicken...” etc. Notes can be longer than examples here, if you have more to say (and room to say it)! The doodle itself should take up at least half a page.

Your doodles can be colour or black and white, in pen, pencil, pastel, paint, collage, thread or any other media you feel comfortable doodling with. These are doodles, not artistic masterpieces, so don't be intimidated if you think you can't draw (neither can I!) - but please make an effort: don't just scribble on a page and call it done!

At the end of the month scan or photocopy your daily doodles and transform them into a quarter-size (/A6) zine to send to your partners.
Your zine should consist of 1 doodle-with-note per page (mark each page 'Day 1', 'Day 2' and so on), so your zine will be a minimum of 28 pages long. Feel free to add covers etc. Binding is up to you – stapled, stitched or other – anything is fine, so long as it holds the pages together securely!

Swap requirements

  • 3 partners = 3 copies of your doodle-a-day zine sent and 3 different doodle-a-day zines received - see above for zine specifics
  • Doodles should each be doodled on a separate day, but March doodles as well as February are also acceptable, so long as there are 28 in total.
  • The send-by date has been extended to the end of March. Please send on time!

The obvious bit
As well as meeting requirements as outlined on group homepage participants must have no late swaps on their dashboard, no 3 ratings in the last 3 months, and no 1 ratings in the last 12 months. I will check before assigning partners, so please contact me if you are concerned. I will take extenuating circumstances into account, but the happy swapping of the majority is the most important factor.
