Rainbows - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg0HxMKTwbs

Houses - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy12ywj5PrQ&t=16s

Flowers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uIE8Q4M3j0

Leaves - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdioLh-LJHo&t=420s

You can search your favorite artist and/or shapes or go to Pinterest to get ideas.

You will make 6 watercolor or alcohol ink/marker fodder pieces on watercolor paper. You will embellish with gel pens or paint markers. You can also use book pages, Yupo, or mixed media paper. You will send 6 handmade items to your partner. You do not have to seal the items if you use watercolor but please let your partner know if the medium you used is water reactive.

This should be a 1 postage stamp swap, but depending on the size and thickness of your items, you may need to add extra postage.

NOTE: You can die cut some of your pieces but I prefer the hand-cut, more wonky/organic shapes. You can make circles, hearts, eggs, birds, ovals, or ???

This sounds like so much fun but I can never seem to type in the link and get the right video. Could you give the artist Or title? Do you want small paintings or cut out houses?

Sorry - I don't know how to do the link thing but here are the artists:

Megan Quinlan Studio - Watercolor houses (1 year ago)

I'll add more in a bit....

Seemownay - Year of Making from March 2022 - rainbows

Flowers - Darkroom Door/Megan Quinlan March 2022 - She uses a stamp but the idea behind the flowers is cool. You could doodle your own flowers

Engelbelle - From Feb 2021 Gouache Flowers

Are the houses to be cut out to be used like a card to journal on? Also is the size senders choice? I'm still wanting to do this.

@Artstamper - Yes to any size but maybe keep the items 4" x 6" or smaller - to fit in envelope and to fit on pages.

You can cut out or send uncut to your partner - I mainly wanted folks to see the possibilities for fodder and also, I like to make stuff.
