Sept 13th sounds okay to me. I'll have a show to get ready for-if I haven't screwed up by not being on top of running set-up on it, sigh... But I think it's doable. I've got-or will shortly have-most of what I need in supplies for this, so I think it will be good. Ready to get started!

I've got a good idea what I'm doing for this, but I want to be sure of something before I get started.

Does anyone on the list have NEGATIVE feelings about bugs. PLEASE post here and let me know asap, okay? I dont want to be the cause of anyone freaking out. This is, after all, suppost to be fun. Not cause for a heart attack. Also, pin or pendant? Which? For anyone who wears a suit from time to time, Let me know if you wear lapel pins.

The sooner y'all can let me know this stuff, the better.
Thanks!

Live, Living, breathing, not contained bugs NO . Dead, not real, pretend bugs, Cool and interesting!

I have a pretty much mortal fear of caterpillars. Thanks for asking. If the bugs were real it may or may not make me squicky, it would depend on what you did. I would wear either a pin or pendant probably.

[Bèsame*]

please, no bugs. Thank you

I'm not generally a fan of bugs at all. Having said that, cute fake plastic or silicone bugs with googly eyes and/or glitter would not be an issue. Except spiders. Even plastic ones aren't cute. Cute is key here.

Real, alive, dead, recently alive, almost alive, fried, baked, stuffed, embalmed, in chocolate (or any other food source) bugs would not be a fun gift for me. I'm not partial to bug bits either. No random cricket legs, please. I get enough of those at work.

Thanks for asking!

[Katniss]

So I guess that means no live bugs, even the be-jeweled kind on a little leash? Well darn.....this was starting to get interesting.



On another note, I know the idea of "themed" or "wearable" matchbox art was tossed around but I never saw that it had to be something we could wear? My idea would certainly not be wearable. Let me know if this is a requirement.

Thanks,

Katniss~~

p.s. Okie, no problems on dropping me off the list, I knew it was an accident.

[Tommi]

A buggy lapel pin sounds great.

I started the project on Tuesday and am grinning..... I bought some little paper matchboxes at Smart & Final to get me started...

Living in a matchbox, I had a pet caterpillar when I was a very young tyke/dyke....I was 4, and I loved my wooly buddy...for as long as I could. I always guessed my Mom set it free cuz one day...no more fuzzzy !

No, I wasn't living in a matchbox... Gemme

No bugs for me either. I am not afraid of them...I just prefer not to have them in art for myself.

Thanks for asking!!!

I posted a pic of the puzzle project I made for Gemme during this last round.
You all have *really* inspired my creative bug again and I find myself creating and painting and getting artsy all over the place lately

Great puzzle. and a Gemme Keeper. I can see her carrying it everywhere, sneaking a peek at the pieces.
We have a gallery, right here--->. This is so good.

Should I send the pic I did of the puzzle I made for the 1/2 inch project? Pretty sure I still have it. It's a scan actually.I can send it directly to you? Or what?

If you can't upload directly to link, can you photo it with cell phone and send to me, or save and post?

Also, to clarify a question from some ~>as there are various Matchbox Sizes.
There has been a standard quote "no larger than 4 "x 6" per item" (not wanting to ship really big boxes) . You can make your matchbook any size, you can alter one already made, from the little bitty to "no larger than 4"x6" each.

The photo is on my computer, I am not a paid member, so I can't post directly from a computer file. It's all there is left of it, as I did the scan before I cut it up to be sent out. The others in that project have the individual pieces.

Anyways, that's why I asked if I should send the pic to you, so you could post it into the project gallery y'all were talking about starting here on bfp. And I dont have a cell phone. I can send it directly to you, but I need an email address to do that. Right?

Go to your library and upload it to a printer they have.
