Description:

1) Create 12 blocks (4" square)-These can be "quilt" blocks, paper collage blocks, crochet or knit "granny" squares, whatever medium you like. Please include some starting point for the layering process with these first block rotations. The more layers the more interesting, anything to get the ball rolling.

Defination of Layer: Collage, stitching, cut work, painting or glazing etc...You could add a bit of something to one part and something else to another other part. Each "layer" doesn't need to cover the whole piece but you need to do more than glue a bead to one side and call it done. These are mini collaborative ART pieces so put your heart into them. These are also two sided so I encourage you to look at both sides as we begin, perhaps both sides could get some attention. I would request that we include on the "Backs" the addition of each persons initials and a # 1-5 to indicate which round you participated in. Check out some ATC's or other collage types of work for inspiration.

We will all end up with 12 different blocks collaborated on by 5 people that we can then assemble in any way we wish (in a book, on the wall, stitched together, whatever).

We will use swap bot to create automatically generated random swap partners. You will get an email before each rotation telling you who you will send your blocks to. The first rotation will have a ship date of Jan 28th. We will then use this site to assign the additional rotations at intervals of 4-6 weeks.
