Hello Flourish Friends!
Sign ups are now closed.
Share a funny quote, inspirational passage, classic saying from your favorite book. I'm so excited for this exchange as I love books and I know many of you do as well. Also, this is a great chance to get creative with your tools, styles, colors, medium, etc. Broad pen, pointed pen, any color, any style of calligraphy ... go for it! ;D
Sign Up Deadline: 8/10/15
Post Mark Deadline: 8/28/15
Please only sign up if you can complete the exchange. Those who do not send their exchange will not be able to participate in the next exchange. If you haven't completed prior exchanges, please wait this one out.
Please note the exchange name in pencil on the back of the envelope. If you post pictures on social media, please be sure to cover or otherwise hinder any personal information (address). Thanks!
Requirements:
1. Although the cards do not have to be handmade, some kind of calligraphy should be used on either card or envelope.
2. You will send a card to every member on your list (typically 7-9 members).
3. Must be related to the theme.
4. All skill levels welcome!
5. If you end up not being able to participate, please contact me ASAP. If you don't send your cards after the list has gone out, you will not be able to participate in the next exchange.
6. You must sign up before the deadline. No late sign ups.
7. HAVE FUN!

Wee, I just signed up! I'm excited for this exchange. I love reading books! Now, I just have to find a quote. So many choices.... :D

Elisabeth - Erica will send you a list via email, and then you snail mail out to the people on your list. No PM required unless you just want to! Glad you've signed up - exchanges are SO very fun. ;D
I've stood by the sidelines for the past few exchanges, but I'm back in the game for this one!

Can the newer folk sign up for this too? I've only started practicing recently and would love to participate.

Definitely! I was also a bit hesitant about joining the exchanges when I was starting out but my advice would just be to go for it! Any practice that you can get is a step in improving your practice. And the letters you get are absolutely beautiful and inspiring. :)
-
Signed up! Yipeeeeeee! Was looking forward to this!

Hahaha I agree with you! I missed a lot of exchanges during the first half of the year so I'm excited for this one. ;)

Then get creative with each one and do something different (e.g. a quote or passage from a different book) for each recipient!
Just thinking out loud... would something like that work?! ???

I felt the same after the last exchange- my first- but everyone is so welcoming and nice here I just went for it! I learned so much from doing it too! so hard when you are beginning to make things that are consistent... at least for me! add on that i am a perfectionist... but also hate wasting paper. Oh the struggles! :D
-
I just signed up, too. Really I am excited for the first exchange. This is going to be fun. ;)
-
My first exchange here too - very excited for this one!

I've been sitting in the sign up page for awhile now since I'm still very new to calligraphy. I signed up tonight and this will be my first exchange too! Hopefully I don't make anything too terrible for you all!!

Oh, it definitely will. The problem now is...choosing just one quote from each book. Hahahaha! ;D
-
All set to post them tomorrow :D, I'm in list 7 and little apprehensive worried that I'll have to post my work to people with really good penmanship.
The quotes were from a book that I just finished: http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.3366/j.ctt1r27fv

Sending apologies out to my list - I'm ordering special stamps, so my exchange is not going to go out on time. I hope that it is okay - you going to have to wait a few extra days! :P
-
I just signed up recently and saw this book exchange. is it still possible for me to join this wonderful exchange?
