Okay ladies, I am sending out your bookmarks tomorrow. The envelopes have a slight bulge to them because the bookmarks have a tassel, so I'm hoping they all arrive safely. 🤞

LiseWorks Oh how lovely, yeah I found mine too had little bulges, let's hope the don't get damages love the colour of your envelopes 2y

Catsandbooks Excellent! I just have to get postage! 2y

aperfectmjk @LiseWorks I don't know about you, but I've been wanting to share my bookmarks that I painted on Instagram, but I'm waiting because I know I'm friends with people from Litsy on Instagram so I don't want to spoil the surprise. It was just so fun to create them. 2y

I have not done any acrylic painting. I seen this picture in my dentist office and looked like acrylic. I think the picture is pretty.
I am going to try acrylic painting for #litsycrafters

Hey all, in honor of acrylic painting this month for #LitsyCrafters, I wanted to see if anyone was interested in possibly doing a bookmark swap for acrylic handpainted bookmarks? We could each paint one or two and then swap with each other?

Here are two I've painted in the past.

@Catsandbooks @curiouserandcurioser

Catsandbooks Those are so pretty! I've never done acrylic painted bookmarks before. I'm down to try it though! 2y

Read4life They‘re beautiful. You‘re so talented. I‘m jealous. 2y

peanutnine What a cute idea! I would be down to do a swap. Your bookmarks are 😍 2y

maich So pretty😍❤ 2y

StayCurious I‘d totally be interested in swapping! Would you @LiseWorks ? 2y

LiseWorks Yes I would @StayCurious 2y

aperfectmjk @peanutnine @StayCurious @LiseWorks @Catsandbooks what do you ladies think would be a reasonable amount of time to create the bookmarks? When do you think the mail by date should be? 2y

Catsandbooks @aperfectmjk maybe since there's just a few of us we could make one for each person and send it. Maybe mail by February 5th? Is that enough time? @peanutnine @StayCurious @LiseWorks 2y

StayCurious @Catsandbooks that works for me. 2y

aperfectmjk @Catsandbooks I think that could work. Do you think a group email would be best to share mailing addresses instead of doing a Google sign up. I'd rather not do a lot of unnecessary work. 😉 2y

peanutnine @Catsandbooks @aperfectmjk that seems like a good timeline. And a group email is fine with me 🙂 2y

Catsandbooks @aperfectmjk @peanutnine @StayCurious @LiseWorks sounds great to me! My email is Leila.whelan18 AT gmail.com 2y

StayCurious My email is lebretonr87 at gmail dot com 2y

peanutnine Mine is sglance9 at gmail 2y

LiseWorks Mine is liseworks7@hotmail.com 2y

Readergrrl I paint with oils, but I‘d love to be part of this swap. May I join? If so, my email is read.ride.run@gmail.com 2y

aperfectmjk @Readergrrl absolutely. I'll loop you into the email when I get off work tonight. 2y

MaleficentBookDragon If it‘s not too late, I‘m in. 2y

aperfectmjk @MaleficentBookDragon there's still time. We won't be mailing out the bookmarks until 2/5. What's your email address? 2y

MaleficentBookDragon @aperfectmjk MaleficentBookDragon@gmail.com thank you! 2y

Charityann Those are beautiful! I love The Little Mermaid one especially.😊 If it‘s not too late too join, I‘d love to participate. My email is channbradley@gmail.com 2y

aperfectmjk Hi all, this swap is now officially closed. We have reached our maximum number of participants at this time. However, we may try this swap again at a later time where we can include more participants. 2y

aperfectmjk @Charityann @MaleficentBookDragon @Readergrrl @LiseWorks @peanutnine @StayCurious @Catsandbooks Just checking in with you all to see how everyone's progressing? I have three bookmarks completed so far. I have ideas for two others, but still undecided for the rest. 2y

StayCurious I have 2 started and ideas for the rest. Glad the deadline got extended! 2y

Catsandbooks I haven't started yet 🙈 but I will soon!! 2y

LiseWorks I've got 2 done, working on 3 and I'm still waiting for ideas from Kristen, this is really getting my creative juices going 2y

aperfectmjk I'm so excited to see what everyone comes up with, and also excited to see if you all like what I have created. 😁 2y

aperfectmjk @Charityann @MaleficentBookDragon @Readergrrl @LiseWorks @peanutnine @StayCurious @Catsandbooks Hey ladies, I now have all my bookmarks finished and will probably mail them out this week. Are we waiting to open them, or is everyone okay with opening them as they receive them? 2y

MaleficentBookDragon @aperfectmjk I say open them as we get them. I‘m sorry, mine aren‘t done yet. I get them out as soon as I can. 2y

LiseWorks I say open them and then share them to show what we got, I dont think I can wait to see what you gals created. Mine are ready to go too! 2y

aperfectmjk @MaleficentBookDragon @LiseWorks Okay! I'm definitely excited for everyone to get their bookmarks. Some turned out better than others, but I like them. 🤷‍♀️ 2y

Readergrrl Mine are not done yet; I apologize! I think they look good, but oil takes a little bit to dry and then varnish. (edited) 2y

aperfectmjk @Readergrrl yeah, I sprayed a sealant on mine, so they need a few days to air out. 2y

Catsandbooks I think open as we receive! Mine are not done yet either, but close! 2y

peanutnine I'm fine with opening them as we get them. I'm still working on mine but I can't wait to see what everyone has created! 2y

Thank you for letting me join in @Catsandbooks and @curiouserandcurioser as this month is all about Acrylics here's a few I did while building my new studio in the spare room.
I don't really share my art with anyone last time I did they weren't very nice so I tend to keep it myself.

tpixie Lovely! Thanks for sharing! ♥️♥️♥️ 2y

peanutnine Ooo I love the top left! 2y

Catsandbooks Fantastic!! I love the trees! ❤️ 2y

Have to share my latest finished object - paint is a bit wet still. It's even slightly book related as I've made it for my son who's fascinated by Sci-fi, especially The Martian and Artemis.

Acrylic painting of some red planet as seen from a yellow planet/moon. 😁

PS: did not use the tagged book

PPS: I tilted the camera, the picture is straight IRL
