Description:

This is the USA only version.

This series is already in process....please no new participants. However we would love to see you at the start of the next series.

This swap is for a Puzzle Collaboration, where each artist completes or alters One puzzle piece each round, and sends it to their one partner. So this swap is a Multi Round (At least 12), and multi partner swap. This swap is for a 12 piece Collaboration puzzle, to be completed by different artists, one puzzle piece to one partner, every month.

You will sign up for each month that you wish to participate, and Swap-bot will randomly assign you your partners for that round. You may get a send to or receive from partner more than once, as partners are randomly assigned by the bot.

To start the swap, I will send each participant a blank puzzle with 12 pieces, and on the backside of each puzzle, I will designate a Number/Letter. You will then alter the corresponding puzzle pieces for that round. For example, this month's puzzle piece that we will alter and send to our partner will be puzzle piece lettered D. Please use the new puzzles, labeled with letters, for this series. This month create on puzzle piece D.

Each round we will be altering One different puzzle piece. So each month, every person will send and receive the same puzzle piece number, until the whole puzzle has been completed. In the end, we will all share in making this fun collaboration puzzle project where each of us have a completed puzzle to keep, created from the many different artists.

To help cover the cost of the puzzles and shipping them to each of you, you agree to send me payment thru PayPal or Venmo, or you may send me unused US postage. Please let me know if you need my email to use for Paypal or Venmo. You can send me unused US postage stamps for payment of your puzzle, if you would prefer. I will send you one of the 12 piece puzzles, sold on Amazon. I'm purchasing a different brand for the USA swap then I usually use, so I will let you know how much it costs me to ship, once I receive the puzzles and can weigh them. EDIT: I can mail these for .66, so the total is $1.66. I will mail you your puzzle to start working on, after I have received your Payment. Please include your user name, and given name, on your payment. I will not offer refunds or returns on purchased puzzles.

You may create your art on each puzzle piece in any medium you wish, in any theme you wish. You may choose to complete these all at one time, in small batches or small groups, without reading your partner's profile, or you may complete each piece each round after you read your partners profile, the choice is yours. You may include embellishments or have 3D elements, but please make sure anything being adhered is glued down well, and that whatever you're adding does not block any of the other pieces from connecting to that puzzle piece...all the puzzle pieces need to fit in the puzzle unobstructed. Please mail your puzzle piece inside a Decorated card/envelope.

Have fun!

Here is the order we have worked on puzzle pieces: G, A, I, J, E, D
