Description:
okies, I was thinking about this one today and think it will be interesting for the group... it's all about piecing paper/fabric. You can use any method or theme or color but you have to use at least 3 different kinds or paper or fabric - this is outside of a ribbon/band decorating the box. In other words, the foundation will be a patchwork or paper pieced design. You get one partner and gotta make one box. Go ahead and fill the sucker up... the inside does not need to be pieced unless you want to... only the exterior. make sense? no? ask and ye shall get your answer :)

So do we fill the box with whatever, or did you have something specific in mind?

fill it up with whatever. the challenge is more about creating an interesting paper piecing on the exterior (minus the other decorations).

I was playing around with this idea on an altered Moleskeine I am doing in a private swap and started with a weaving of paper strips and adding stuff to it... it came out really cool and so did the mosaic of various paper scraps on the other cover.

There is really a lot you can do for something along these lines and is open to as much creativity as you bring to it :)

just have fun with it :)
