I saw this while looking at other art things......
What do ya'll think about Chunky Wood Block Art?
**********************************************************************
Here are our partners for the block swap:
Kristina72~~ptroupe
Killarney~~sweettea59
Beth Jones~~fille de ferme
Beth Jones~~mrssarahhall
**********************************************************************
**********************************************************************
Theme for the block...After some discussion thot this might be better
The theme is garden or flowers....fairies....ocean, seaside.....you get the picture?? Have fun
**********************************************************************
Here are the ideas....
Find a piece of wood, it needs to be somewhere around 2 1/2 wide and 3 1/2 tall about the size of a paper ATC. Where to find these will be at your home depot type stores, (they will cut things around here),
construction sites throwaway piles, or your hubby's wood stock. Just so the piece is no larger than 3x5 inches.
Next you paint the block with acrylic paint (like at Michaels or other craft stores)
Then comes the fun part, your decorate the wood just as you would an ATC. Use scrapbook paper, pretty wrapping papers, and decorate to your hearts content. The sides, top, and front and back of the wood would be decorated.
This becomes a really neat stand alone piece of art to decorate any place in your home. Be sure to sign the back with your name and date.
GOOGLE: Chunky Wood ATC.............Beautiful ideas

Beth - this looks like a lot of fun.
I'm in.
Do you think there will be a theme or will it be whatever the artist wants to create?
Thanks for finding fun and new ways for us to express ourselves.
Blessings,
Kristi

I think for this one, let's do whatever you desire to do. I am sure each will do their best and make their wood block just like they would like to receive. Please, however, do not just put one layer of paper and or flat stickers on the block. the block has 4 sides. Maybe each side could tell a story....I'm sure yall will come up with just the right thing!

Beth, will there be partners for this swap, or do we make one chunky ATC for each participant? I am intrigued but want to be sure I can commit before I dive in. Thanks!

Sorry ladies but I need to withdraw from this swap due to a sudden change in parental care responsibilities. I hope you have fun!
