Description:
I did this in my group and we all loved doing it. You send to your swapper either a craft you have done or got in another swap and willing to share. It can be knitted, painted art, jewelry, dotee, drawings, fabric art, crochet, wood, what ever is your forte or someone elses. You send it to your swapper, she in turn adds a tag to it that will be saying "Free Take Me home or leave for someone else". "Made by an Artist" or something like that. Then she leaves it somewhere in her city or town for someone to find No email address or home address should be on it unless you want to. I prefer not to. Hopefully she will let you know by PM where she left in with City or town and place. Just that we would like to know. There is a facebook group called Abandoned Art that does this allover the world so let us try our world, USA only. Just 1 swapper you send one item to. No matter what the item is you get rated a 5 for sending it to her to place some where. You can send this anytime once names are up. Remember, something crafty that either you did or some other swapper did and you want to share it. Questions?

This sounds like so much fun! What type of art? Is wearable accepted? (pin, necklace bracelet, scarf?)

It's a lot like bookcrossing.....

Art or craft, yes, Stitches!

Does it have to be pricey? I was thinking simple recycled paper crafts.

ladydy5 03/15/2015 #

No price intended. Do art that you like to do or want to share. Can be any art.

I've been doing some searches on Art Abandonment and have noticed that many of them have the art wrapped in paper with a tag.

Do we need to do this or will our partner do it when they receive?

I find this so fascinating and plan on abandoning some of my art in my area too.

Either way. I think doing a tag yourself to send and maybe enclosed in a clear envelope or bag would make it easier but you can always ask the one you sent to. I personally send it ready to abandon. By all means do it in your area too. I like to send it elsewhere in other states or cities I may be in. Thus June and July perfect if you go on vacation.

I abandoned my first art last night.

Five have not sent yet or marked it sent for this swap. It is an easy one because certainly you have some craft or you wouldn't have signed up. I have asked all five to please remember that tomorrow the 11th is send date. I have put up another #2 just in case you all still want to do this but it will be the last abandoned art/craft I will do in Public form.
