Paper Swap in March

Our next topic is simplicity.



Think of paper as a basic material to be creative. Think of images that are calm and peaceful. Warm, soothing colours. No patterns. Think Zen. Think Wabi Sabi.

Sign in if you want to share some papers with friends from all over the world.

We also have a quick swap on March, 21, if you want to play the smaller version of it.

Crazy Swap 2013

Time for the annual Crazy Swap. 

And this is how it works: Take an envelope and go through your house from room to room. Look thru all the papers you’ve got and collect everything that could be fun and turned into art. Think crazy! Look at food packages, flyers, spam mail, newspapers, scraps and cut off from magazines and catalogues, receits, bills, tickets, ephemera of all kind, old school books, vintage stuff from the attic. Be wild! Be eccentric! And enjoy!

Any questions? Send me an e-mail!

Wanna sign in! E-mail me!
