Description:

so there are several of us here on swap-bot that are into shrines... and thanks to MAMAMIA (whos brilliant idea this was!) were doin' a religious themed shrine swap...

the virgin mary, buddah, saints OR (no offense to anyone) we can make it fun! the "goddess of craftology", a shrine dedicated to the "god of swap", etc...

so heres the deal... sign up and leave a comment here for your partner as to what "theme" you would like your shrine to be. the shrines need to be a good size... no bottlecaps for this one please. michaels arts and crafts sells little 3"x3" wooden boxes for $1 that i personally think make awesome shrines... but thats up to you! (you can spy one i recently made out of said box by going here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/kateybarrett/728174748/in/set-72157600448925650/

thats just to give you an idea...

now... • ONE shrine to ONE partner • this swap IS international • a minimum of 5 hearts • i WILL ban any sketchy looking people AFTER the sign up date!

lets make some awesome shrines!! we have PLENTY of time!

babysingsing 07/11/2007 #

I'm in! I would love to have a shrine dedicated to a trashy news item -- either real, imagined (by my partner), or borrowed from a "news" source like the Weekly World News. http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/

kateyb 07/11/2007 #

babyss... omg! you make me laugh!!! how awesome of a shrine will THAT be!

Rae4Beach 07/11/2007 #

I am partial to the Virgin Mary, or Joan of Arc, but I also like to be surprised. For that matter, I like Buddha as well.

artbymia 07/11/2007 #

Hey Swappies. KateyB Thank you for hosting the swap your the MAAM! I would like for my dear swappi Mami or Papi to create an out of this world Vigin de Guadalupe shrine for me. I will add it to my doll altar! Wepa!

Mia ;)

RudeNun 07/11/2007 #

TíaBel 07/11/2007 #

cats 07/11/2007 #

I would love to have a shrine dedicated to a cat or something imagined. thanks

eonsmomma 07/11/2007 #

I want a Virgin Mary/Virgin of Guadalupe shrine please.

RudeNun 07/12/2007 #

I'd like mine to the religion that is "Rude Nun"

citizenblue 07/12/2007 #

may i have my shrine built around any of the following:

joe strummer muay thai low rider bikes paul pope the apocalypse koi

to be honest, i'll love anything, so don't feel pressured to pick one of the aforementioned!!

citizenblue 07/12/2007 #

aw man, there shoulda been commas:

joe strummer, muay thai, low rider bikes, paul pope, the apocalypse, koi

RudeNun 07/12/2007 #

Mmmm...I loves me some Clash.

drewzel 07/12/2007 #

Chickens or lobsters please...hope that's not too hard!

Coffeelatte 07/12/2007 #

Even tho I am starting to reach max capacity...HOW could I not sign up for this one????

My dream shrine would be the coffee goddess. But I could also go for a shrine to Artemis, or St. Francis of Assisi. Or the guardian angel of platform shoes...

Drewzel...I almost WANT to be partnered with you just so I can do a lobster shrine!!!!

Mamamia...what is this about a doll altar? Pictures, please?

citizenblue 07/12/2007 #

rudenun: what what!! joe strummer is my god.

drewzel 07/12/2007 #

Coffeelatte, I also had another thought, I'd love a Clint Eastwood/Dirty Harry shrine too!

We might have to do a few rounds of this to get through everyone's shrine wishes :P

drewzel 07/12/2007 #

How about a fave musician/group shrine swap? I'd love a Nick Cave one, not that he's my fave ever, but I think it'd be funny. Or Morrissey.

kateyb 07/12/2007 #

aaaw drewzel, now youve got me!! a david bowie would be so so so great... we might have to do several of these things!!

drewzel 07/12/2007 #

Come on Katey, you can be the shrine queen! Bowie would be grouse! Freddy Mercury would be great too. Ooh and I'd love an Ozzy one.

kateyb 07/12/2007 #

omg, a freddie mercury one!?! how bad ass! hmmm... im busy shrine makin this weekend now i have MORE ideas!!

Coffeelatte 07/13/2007 #

Bowie would be awesome! Ozzy would be wild, too...would you include a headless bat?

I keep thinking of ideas too...like a Venus of the sea/mermaid-kinda shrine...

orcasong 07/13/2007 #

I'd like to have a shrine dedicated to Freya (also spelled Freyja), since in my tradition she's the goddess of fertility, pregnancy, and childbirth, and we plan to try for kids soon.

Lots of fun shrine ideas listed! Can't wait to see who I get!

TíaBel 07/14/2007 #

the Shrine-of-the-Month club!

I just made my first shrine ever for rudenun's bottlecap shrine swap. It was so much fun that I can't wait to start the bigger ones.

citizenblue 07/16/2007 #

shrine of the month!! that'd be awesome!

RudeNun 07/16/2007 #

blue, it's your turn to host! :D

What's the next shrine??

kateyb 07/17/2007 #

blue, blue, blue!!! were waitin'...

BadKitty 07/17/2007 #

Okay, I would love a shrine influenced in any of these figures, The Immaculate Virgin, Saint Sofia, Jesus, Saint Anna (Mary's Mother), Chocolate or Christmas

Hope This Helps! Awesome JoAnna that you are hosting this one! YEAH!!!!

XOXO, Annamaria Art By ASM

citizenblue 07/17/2007 #

GAH!!!

RudeNun 07/17/2007 #

KateyB's hostin' this one! She's one cool cat! Err...I mean feline?

Rae4Beach 07/17/2007 #

I'll take any shrine you wanna send my way. I'm a shrine virgin, so go easy on me...

SimplyShnookly 07/18/2007 #

Hmm, I'd like mine to be Catholic (I'm Catholic, what a shocker!) Probably either Saint Francis or Saint Anthony.

CajunLady 07/18/2007 #

I'm in! I would love a Day of the Dead or Virgin of Guadalupe shrine. Halloween would be awesome too.

symphonie 07/18/2007 #

I would love a Hebrew theme... Or Josh Groban, or a KEANE theme. Some of these requests are going to take a bit of research, but I love that. This is going to be heaps fun! :D

tiaragoth 07/19/2007 #

I would LOVE a shrine dedicated to the comic character ''Death'', please. She's the goth girl in Neil Gaiman's ''Sandman'' comics. Of course, anything else ''Sandman'' can be included too : )

Bluejul 07/21/2007 #

I haven't been reading the board until today, I actually thought the swap started on the 20th...Now I can't wait to get started, I've gotten so many ideas from all of your suggestions! Drewzel, I could make an awesome chicken altar!As for me, my spirituality is nature-based, I esp. resonate with Brigid. But I honor all traditions, I believe they are all rooted in love, so Day of the Dead, Virgin of Guadalupe, Buddhist(esp Tibetan). I collect images of peacocks and rabbits so either of those would be awesome. I guess that's my way fo saying surprise me! LOL

funkyluke 07/23/2007 #

i love this, iam so into budda and the mother

classychica 07/23/2007 #

I would like a shrine dedicated to Adelitas or a shrine made out of the poem La Loca de la Raza Cosmica by ~LA CHRISX~

RudeNun 07/24/2007 #

babysingsing 07/24/2007 #

Ha haaa, thanks! From this week's Weekly World News: Most Neurotic Animal Discovered!

RudeNun 07/24/2007 #

At first I thought, "It's us!! It's us!!"

drewzel 07/25/2007 #

So when do we start "shrine of the month"? Katey, you should start a Flickr group! :P

cranialbleeding 07/26/2007 #

any saint or the virgin mary please!

SimplyShnookly 07/27/2007 #

Since this swap has taken a turn away from religious shrines, and I'm not sure what half of the requested shrines are, I'm going to back out! Good luck!

mrsD 07/30/2007 #

I'd like a shrine dedicated to Duran Duran, gods of my junior high love :)

SacredYoli 07/31/2007 #

I am open, but if you really need suggestions..........

Putas, Guadalupes, Frida, Dia De los Muertos, Marvin Gaye, NYC, Prosperity, Protection, Dieting. LL Cool J. hee.

mik 07/31/2007 #

I'd love a shrine to Nick Cave or David Bowie, or one to the norse goddess Freya.

TíaBel 08/ 6/2007 #

OrcaSong, your Freya shrine is on it's way in a mail chariot be driven by cool cats in blue postal uniforms.

threesweetpeas 08/ 7/2007 #

artbymia 08/ 8/2007 #

Funkyluke, your shrine is on the way. I tried a litle something different let me know what you think.

SacredYoli 08/ 9/2007 #

babysingsing 08/12/2007 #

I'm still working on my shrine, but today our tiny one-bedroom apartment was transformed into Glitter City. It's a fine place to live, but I'm disappointed to also be part of the maintenance staff.

SacredYoli 08/13/2007 #

My Shrine has been sent! (Yay)

BadKitty 08/15/2007 #

I just want to say that this was so much fun and it really got my creative juices flowing!
