More details:  By the end of June you will receive from me a packet containing your swap book (a blank 6-page board book--sizes will vary) an instruction booklet with swap details,  and some mixed media goodies from my personal collection of ephemera/collage materials.  

When you receive your book, you will work on your front and back covers.  

At the end of July, you'll send your book with its completed covers to the next swapper.  They will choose any inside spread (a left and right page) to complete.  By the last day of each month you must send your book along to the next swapper.   At the end of December/early January, all books will be sent back to their original owners.  You will now have a completed book with the work of 5 other artists in it, in addition to your own work. 

"Vintage Voices" is the theme of this swap so all pages should be inspired by the past.  That could mean the very, very distant past (Ancient Egypt, Stonehenge, Medieval times, etc...) or the not-so-distant past (the mod 60's, roaring 20's, etc...)  It's completely up to you and your muse!
