Is it a book? Is it still a book?

This is an international swap for people love book-arts.

The idea of this swap is to make an unconventional book. There are two ways you could do this: By making a book from scratch in an unconventional form, or by altering a book into something that isn't quite a book anymore.

Some ideas I had, to give you some examples:

• Make a star book pendant (instructions can be found through Google).

• Make a book of envelopes.

• Alter a children's board book by cutting it into a different shape and painting it.

• Make (or alter) a doll so its torso is a book.

• Alter a book into a shrine or box.

• Make a book with wooden or fabric pages.

• Make a Jacob's Ladder into a book.

You could send a book that is itself a work of art, or that contains a poem, a short story, or some artwork, or you could send something that is open for your partner to make into whatever they want (a journal). But don't send anything that could be called "just a book". Send something you are proud of.

Rules:

1. This is an international swap, so be prepared to mail to anywhere in the world.

2. This swap is meant for people to enjoy the process of creating something, but I want everyone to receive something back. To that end, no swappers with a rating less than 4.7. I will be sending out a couple of emails throughout the swap and I will ban anyone whose email address bounces and who doesn't respond to a Swap-Bot message.

3. If possible, please take a picture before sending and post it to the swap gallery. Please message or email both myself and your partner before rating a "1", in case anything has been lost in the mail.

4. There will no angels for this swap. I will do everything I can to ban any potential "problem swappers", but we all swap at our own risk.
