JUNE: Maimed, mutilated, mangled and munted

Have you ever had a stamp-carving stuff-up? Broken the beak off a bird? Sliced the side off a snowflake? Lacerated a lion’s leg? Pruned a panda’s pin (like I did in the picture above)? If so, this could be the swap for you! Take one (or more !) of your stamp carving failures and make something with it. It might be a postcard, ATC, mail art, or any other handmade thing you would stamp on. You can write your partner a little story about how the carving came to grief, or just use it creatively in any way you like. Be as free and imaginative as you wish in interpreting this description, but if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask :-)

So, to summarise, here are the swap requirements:

• Take one (or more) failed stamps that you have over-zealously carved yourself.
• Hand-make an item featuring an image/images of your failed stamp/s.
• Send to your partner.

You already had to have a rating of 4.9+ with no recent no-sends, 1s or 3s to join this group anyway, so the same stands for this swap. But I will still double-check before assigning partners, so if you have what you feel is an unfair comment or rating, just PM me & we can try to work it out. :-)

Please communicate with your partner or myself if you run into any problems with this swap that might make you send late.

Enjoy!
