Description:
This swap is for people who Love to do Zentangles or recieve them!!! This is the first round of my Zentangle Journal Series. As I'm new to Zentangle Journaling (but not zentangles) You will be doing 4 zentangle pages and a Bio page. Pease don't forget to decorate with atleast a boarder on ur Bio page as well.. On the first page you will write a short introduction, along with your profile name and your address. On the second page you'll start adding zentangles pages. Please start each zentangle on a new page! And fill that page at least 2/3rds of the way full. They can be either black and white or colored. Or even a mix of both. Fill only front of each page so that there is no worry of bleeding through and ruining anything. You can also fill in extra pages with zentangles if you like BUT you must have at least 4 pages of zentangles. When you have your 4 Zentangled pages finished, you'll ship the notebook to your swap partner. This is a swap series. On the next round, you will add an intro page (with all the above listed info) and 4 zentangled pages to the notebook you received in this swap, or (if this is your first Zentangle journal, as it is mine) You'll buy a new notebook/sketchbook/journal etc....And join! ^_^ The Journal should be around 10.5 x 8 Inches. And have between 50 -100 pages. PLEASE MAKE SURE THIS JOURNAL IS STRONG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO BE SHIPPED AND WORKED ON MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT THE PAGES FALLING OUT OF IT. Unlike most of the other Zentangle Journal swaps out there, If you fill the last page of a notebook then you will ship it to the ORIGINATOR. After you send that to the originator, You then buy a new one to send to your next partner when the next Series begins! *I made my swap this way because, after it's full, I would like to get mine back to see where it's traveled to. And see how many wonderful artists have drawn in my book!...I mean..would you want to get yours back too? Lol ^_^ The goal is for everyone to stick with this swap long enough to receive a full notebook. We all hate being flaked on...it's rude and it ruins the fun for everyone, so PLEASE NO FLAKERS Or you will be banned from any future swaps of mine! I reserve the right to ban anyone I find suspicious..... Happy Zentangling! ^_^

Just a thought, you could suggest that the person who receives their own journal back buy a new one and send it to the person nice enough to return it.

That is a good idea. I do like the idea of sending the complete journal back to the orignator.

Could you suggest a type of journal?

SoInLuvv21 04/24/2012 #

The type that I got is a graph composition notebook. Its like the black and white ones that you use for school. Except the one I got has graph paper in it rather than lined paper. Its about 100-200 sheets. The front of the graph notebook is cooler than the lined one also.....but I think I'm going to decorate it more anyway. But any type of journal or sketchbook that is around 100 pages or so approximately 9x12in. Big. Should be good, as long as its sturdy enough to be handled and opened over and over by each partner :)

I am so sorry to have to drop out of this swap as I find I won't be able to commit the time needed to do this. :( Happy zentangling and swapping to those involved in this swap.

SoInLuvv21 04/27/2012 #

I've made the date alittle later if that helps any :) if not, I hope you will join for the next round of the series! :)

kmcscott 04/27/2012 #

I will keep my eyes open for the next round. I have put my journal on the shelf until later.

ViridianMuse 04/27/2012 #

I too have to drop :( I was really looking forward to doing this swap as well, but my work commitment has just double over the next few months. Hopefully I can jump on at some point later.

*I've changed the swap deadline and made it a few days later due to a recent rush of the majority of the participants just joining :) and I also changed it so that you only have to do 4 ZENTANGLE PAGES + Your Bio Page with the zentangled boarder. I figured everyone gets busy and tied up with "life" things, so 4 pages seems abit more practical :). But if you receive a journal with more then the 4 pages....I think a heart is a good idea ;)

I'm new to sending on journals, so I don't get how it works. Once you send it out the first time, how do you know who to send it to when you receive one in the mail? Do you wait for the next sign up date for a new swap? What if I miss the sign up date?

SoInLuvv21 04/30/2012 #

Yes, you will wait for the next round to start. I will send everyone an email that was in this series, when I decide the date of the series #2. I will probably do it no more than 3 weeks or so after the series #1 deadline. But i will do my best to let everyone know when the next series is starting :) just be sure to include all of your info (especially your address) in your journal to ensure you will get it back.

I have been thinking real hard about this and I love the idea of getting my own journal back however if someone has mine and decides to drop after the first swap then I will never get a full journal.

SoInLuvv21 05/ 6/2012 #

Thats why I posted for them to just be kind enough to send it back to the originator even if they decide to drop out after the first swap. That way you can send your journal to your next partner or we can host a make up swap or something....I'm still new with how these series swaps work. This is my first one that I'm hosting. So please bear with me as I try to iron out the kinks :)

Hows everyone coming on your zentangling? :)
