Wishlist Altered Bottlecap Shrines!

I can't seem to find a Bottlecap Shrine swap in any recent public swaps, so let's do it! I'm so excited! If I'm stepping on any toes, alert me and I'll apologize profusely! :O)

Bottlecap "shrines" are small relics paying homage to a person, thing, object, color, theme, place, anything of importance, desire or just plain liked by a person, made with an empty metal bottlecap and your creativity. The term "shrine" denotes no special religious significance, but it can.

For this ultra-cool swap, you'll have 3 partners. You'll create one altered bottlecap shrine for each partner. You can turn your shrine into a charm, magnet, pendant, anything or nothing but an extremely awesome personalized bottlecap for your partner. In return you'll receive 3 different artist's concepts of what you want.

The what you want part: Below, leave a comment containing 5 to 7ish themes: objects, people, characters, colors, places, holidays, books, anything you'd like to see memorialized forever in a teensy round bottlecap. Your partners will then choose which to create for you. You may end up with three similar theme choices, but since YOU chose your themes, you're bound to like 'em. :O) You may list a couple of dislikes if you REALLY HAVE TO, like if orange makes you puke or something serious like that. Otherwise, let's stick with the "I LIKE" suggestions.

Details: Sign up. Immediately come back to this page and list your theme choices, 5 to 7ish things you love. You'll have 3 partners. You'll make 1 Bottlecap "shrine" for each partner, consulting their comment below for theme choices after partners are assigned. You'll have 5 weeks to create and send your wonderful itsy Bottlecap shrines.

This is USA only, so sorry! Postage sucks!

Only experienced swappers with a minimum of 7 rated snail mail package swaps AND nothing but "5" ratings.

I can't count postcard or email swaps for this one, as I want it to be special and not at all chancy. No offense to my postie-swappin' pals.

I reserve the right to refuse participation to anyone seeming negative and the right to serve refuse to flakers. I WILL CHECK ALL PROFILES!

You can go to google or flickr and look for bottlecap shrines or altered bottlecaps for ideas and tutorials. There's some wonderful art out there! Hope we all get a hoot out of this one! Contact me with any questions, comments or concerns. :OD
