May and June Trades

Our May trade is "Zentangles" They should be the size of ATC's. Follow the links in the last post to find out more, or call Rosie..she has offered to let our new traders view the video she has of "zentangles" being drawn. This trade will be at Rosie's new house on May 27th at 9:00am unless there is a contractor glitch and then it will be at the coffee shop under the bridge in old town...same time. Bring 6 zentangle ATC's to trade...more if you want to show them, or let the group have a bigger selection. You can take off from the "Zentangle" point of view and be as creative as you like!!!

Four of us made journals to zentangle in, and I have been enjoying mine. It even inspired the idea of a Zentangle Journal trade...just for our group, or maybe for the larger A.A. group. It could involve a get together (maybe wine would be nice!) where we would send our journals around and doodle on each others pages, signing our entries, or we could just trade the books like we do in the A.A. group. I'll weigh in first by saying I think I prefer the small group (7 @) and doing it at a get-together.

For June we are trying our first "Mail Art" piece. Each of us making one piece of mail art. We will re-draw names at the May trade so Meredith and Maryan are included. Hope that doesn't cause a problem for anyone who works ahead. I'm going to try and find some "mail art" on-line and post some links for inspiration.

Let's all think of some ideas for future trades we can discuss in May. See you all then!
