CHOPPED! Monster

Okay- so I love cooking shows. One of my favorites is Chopped. The premise is the chefs are given mystery ingredients and then must make a successful dish from those ingredients. They can add other items but the mystery items MUST be the stars of the show.

Which brings us to CHOPPED! Monsters. For this challenge -erm- swap you will send your partner 5-7 mystery ingredients to make a monster. These can be embellishments, pretty paper, yarn, fabric, clay, flowers, ribbon, lace, etc... They must be different items- no sending 5 different kinds of lace for example. The idea is to make it challenging yet possible to make a monster using mainly the ingredients provided.

Now for part two...By signing up for this swap, not only are you committing to send your partner supplies but to make something from the supplies you are given. This second part is on the honor system, but for those who do not keep this end of the swap you will kindly be asked to not join any more of my swaps. You will craft a monster using mostly items from your swap partner but with bits and pieces from your own stash. I will get an online album set up and you will post pictures of your CHOPPED! Monsters. You will have one month after the swap ends to post pictures. If for some reason you are unable to post pictures at this time please let me know so I don't add you to the naughty list.

I know this is a big commitment but I really think it will be fun.

So...To recap...You will each be assigned one partner to send a mystery basket of monster parts to. You will be rated on the sending of these items only. BUT...to stay off my naughty list you are also committing to posting pictures of your finished monster within a month, OR emailing me with a good reason why you cannot.
