Matchboxes!

I had a go at making matchboxes for a swap. Compared to what I've seen on flickr mine are mediocre at best. But I enjoyed making them!

Hey-oh!

I'm not sure if I'm in over my head but I'm hosting a lot of swaps at the moment, swaps YOU should sign up for. They are all fairly easy.

I'm hosting 7 swaps on the Seven Deadly Sins. I had an assignment in my photo class I really enjoyed and I think some neat ATC's would come out of this. Each swap is two weeks long, 1 ATC for 1 partner. Pretty easy and they are spaced out through the entire summer.
1. Pride atc swap (sign up deadline is May 26th!!!!!)
2. Envy atc swap
3. Gluttony atc swap
4. Lust atc swap
5. Anger atc swap
6. Greed atc swap
7. Sloth atc swap

I'm hosting a Cryptozoology ATC swap, which is going to be neat! 1 ATC for 1 partner. Basically, design an ATC based off of your favorite cryptid! Mine is the Mothman. I love him!

My last swap is not ATC related but very similar to the swap I blogged about here. I am using loreley's idea for the group I'm an officer in called Random Bits of Lovely. If anyone wants to join this swap you'll need to request to join the group. Anyway, the swap is called the Lovely Jewelry Box swap.

We'll be decorating one of those small wooden, unpainted craft jewelry boxes in a way that our partner would like. See the swap home-page for more details.


So, I'm hosting 9 pretty evenly spaced out swaps. That doesn't sound so bad...on top of the other 15 swaps I'm in. I should probably slow the swapping down a bit since I'm going to school full-time this summer and working on buying a house.

The "Others"

Oscar: Pam and Jim are on their honeymoon, so there's not the usual balance between "sane" and "others". Toby has mentally checked out since June. It's a very dangerous time. The coalition for reason is extremely weak.

This quote very accurately describes most of the people in my life. They are either sane or "others" and "others" is trumping the sane at the moment. The coalition for reason is extremely weak.

The Seven Deadly Sins

I've finally finished my final for my photo class on the Seven Deadly Sins. My main subject were human lips to depict each sin. The model is my sister, Amanda. These are moderately photo-shopped since I don't know my way around the program. I like how they turned out.

Pride

Envy

Greed

Sloth

Lust

Gluttony

Wrath

Enjoy and let me know what you think!
