What's the consensus on a start date July / August.
And a theme, I'm well up for "nautical" as if all else fails I have a few hooks and other pieces which I could enter.
Are we going for completed pieces then draw, or as last time create a list of people interested and see how it goes.
Lets try and finalise the details and a start date.

Not fussed on date, as I'll probably leave it to the last minute whenever it is... :lol: any suggestions?

Okay, "nautical tiki" is the theme :D Use your imaginations, any medium welcome as long as you're prepared to send it overseas (remember YOU pay for postage on the piece that you send). So it includes mugs, lamps, carvings, paintings - as long as it "nautical tiki" themed.

A list should be written up just to get an idea of who's participating. The draw gets done at the closing date when people have finished their pieces. That way, you know the piece you're getting is complete and ready to ship.

My preference would be for artists to create something specifically for the swap. It should be a catalyst that stimulates and challenges artists to tackle pieces that otherwise they might not have even considered. But I realise in the real world we've all got commitments that distract us from our true interest - so pre-existing stuff is okay, as long as it fits the theme.

Start hooking in and making your nautical tikis!!!
